Rep. Al Green (D-Texas) holds a handwritten sign reading "BLACK PEOPLE AREN'T APES!" during President Trump's State of the Union address on February 24, 2026, in the House chamber. Green was protesting a racist video Trump had posted earlier in the month depicting Barack and Michelle Obama as apes. Green was subsequently escorted out of the chamber by the Sergeant at Arms

White fragility demands that Rep. Green and his sign are removed, so that the feelings of racist white people can be protected

Kidnappings and killings of Black and brown people bring no such demands from this same crowd

Horrific to watch another police execution in America. Violent and bloodthirsty men should not be given badge and gun

America has a sickness

Screenshot of a Facebook post by Sen. Marsha Blackburn from February 18 at 8:47 PM. The post reads: 'A special education teacher in Georgia was reportedly killed on her way to work by an illegal alien who was fleeing ICE. This should have never happened because he never should have been here.' Below the text is a photo showing a crash scene with multiple police vehicles and a severely damaged black sedan. At the bottom is a link to an NBC News article titled 'Driver fleeing ICE officers crashes, killing a Georgia teacher, authorities say.

The blame lies fully with ICE and their reckless disregard for the lawβ€”including this county's prohibition on police chases exactly to prohibit this deadly outcome

The fascists will continue to ramp up violence all while blaming their scapegoats. Reject their racist rhetoric!!

This is the aftermath of an ICE kidnapping a few blocks from my home in St. Paulβ€”an hour ago. A quiet street full of broken glass and at least three wrecked cars. The target of the kidnapping was taken away by ambulance. He was on a stretcher and covered by a sheet, though a cop said he was alive.

The NFL didn’t make halftime political. Cheap political hacks like Marsha Blackburn and others in the GOP did

They manufacture fake culture wars to rile up outrage in their base and further their white supremacist agenda

If they would shut up we could all just enjoy good music

Good morning. The President of the United States was in the middle of the most serious child sex trafficking ring of the last quarter century.

He is referenced not a dozen times in the case files. Not 100 times. Not 1,000 times. He’s referenced 38,000 times.
