He didn’t hold back. 🇦🇺💬
From across the ocean, this Australian gives a raw, unfiltered look at modern America. It’s a perspective most people are too afraid to say out loud, but it impacts all of us, no matter where we live.
This is a global wake-up call.

🚨BOMBSHELL: Jon Ossoff says Trump’s son-in-law is negotiating with PUTIN to sell Russian oil assets to Trump family allies, and they’ve already “poured hundreds of millions of dollars into Trump family businesses.”
The entire Trump family belongs in PRISON! Where is the media??

Today, just 17 days before the midterm elections, @Meta took down the national #NoKings Instagram account in the middle of the massive nationwide mobilization — then restored it and called it a “bad call.” That means it was done ON PURPOSE: Zuckerberg intentionally suppressed our 1st Amendment right to voice anti-Trump opinions on his platform.
Simultaneously, No Kings content was suppressed on @X while Trump's triumphant return to Musk's platform to blast out endorsements of Republican Senate candidates was boosted.
Why are Meta and X deliberately colluding to rig their algorithms in favor of Trump and Republicans, while silencing Democrats? Musk & Zuckerberg must disclose exactly what happened today — what was restricted, what was amplified, and most importantly why? Whose idea was it? Any guesses?
Trump's Billionaire Tech Bros. strategically diminished the #NoKingsDay national activation while amplifying Trump's desperate posts the cheating POS prays will help him avoid impeachment, conviction, removal and incarceration.
NOT A CHANCE.

America, Land of Hypocrisy. Where qualified black people can be called DEI. Yet, an unqualified white person can achieve so much through mediocrity. Seemingly failing upward. No doubt, we'll find that she's been hired on some board of directors or a corporate job that she isn't qualified for.

Please don't be fool by Trump's conglomeration of pet negroes. These by no stretch are our black leadership. They are the entertainment. In his desperation, Trump is somehow hoping these characters will deliver him the black vote.

Let’s just be honest here: Donald Trump has zero interest in improving the lives of Black folks in this country and has never been serious about helping our community.
In policy, deed, action and rhetoric, he has proven this repeatedly. Just last week, his administration launched an investigation into the programs Wells Fargo instituted a decade to increase Black home ownership. Does that sound like someone who is open to changing course about how he has treated our community?
His nonstop attack on DEI programs, federal budget cuts that had a disproportionate impact on Black federal workers, censorship of Black history or outright removal of Black historic figures, cuts to Medicaid, Medicare and SNAP — does any of that sound like someone who is willing to change their approach?
He got exactly what he wanted out of this dinner. He ran right to the media to brag about how much celebrities like him. He wanted to prove his power and how much people are dying to have access to him.
Congratulations, he did exactly that.
How many times are y’all going to fall for the banana in the tailpipe?
I totally agree. Our people in the Black community are out here suffering. Why wouldn’t we have a conversation with the people in power?
Everything I’ve gotten done for my community has come from being able to talk to Democrats AND Republicans. You have to be willing to sit at the table and ask for what your people need.
Having a conversation with @POTUS45 doesn’t mean you agree with everything he says or does. It means you’re bringing your community’s needs directly to the person who has the power to help. Our people deserve resources, answers, and results.
NC A&T students walked about 45 minutes to vote after their campus was left out of Guilford County’s 2026 early-voting plan. The economic question is bigger than the walk.

You know who did pass the bar exam? First Lady #MichelleObama, Justice #KetanjiBrownJackson, VP #KamalaHarris, and Congresswoman #JasmineCrockett.
#DEI doesn’t lower the bar. It exposes those who can’t reach it.

🚨 BREAKING:
Abdul El-Sayed: You don't want to talk about gas prices. You don't want to talk about groceries... You want to stir up all this culture war stuff.
Watters: Do you think men should be allowed to play women's sports?
Abdul El-Sayed: I'm running for the US Senate. This is crazy. I'm here trying to take on the healthcare crisis and Big Pharma, and you're asking me about who gets to play which sport.

The Atlanta Dream made the WNBA Finals.
But they still don’t control the arena calendar.
Atlanta averaged 9,695 fans across three playoff games at State Farm Arena, while Gateway Center holds about 3,500 for basketball.
That’s the economics behind the story👇🏾

Trump is coming after anyone who dares stand up to him.
He is a lawless president terrified of losing his grip on power.
He must be stopped — VOTE!
Black-founded Vurt is moving vertical video from smartphones to connected TVs.

The Office of Congresswoman Omar released the following statement:
“This raid by Trump’s DHS is an outrageous abuse of power and an unprecedented escalation in the weaponization of federal law enforcement to target political enemies. For a decade, Donald Trump has relentlessly targeted Congresswoman Ilhan Omar with inflammatory rhetoric, repeatedly putting a target on her back. Now, those attacks have escalated to a pointless federal raid. The Congresswoman has done nothing wrong. No president should be able to use the power of the federal government to intimidate his political enemies.”

Trump does an incoherent ramble as a confused audience listens in complete silence:
"And you know what they're doing? They go straight down, you know, you can make those drill bits talk. You can make 'em sing, you can make them go, they go down. New York's over here, Pennsylvania-- they go down and they take a sharp left. And they suck our oil out. Can you believe it? Lines of different states, and you'll see one has Cadillacs, because they like Cadillacs better than they like Mercedes, but one has an Escalade, and one has a 50 year old Chevy. And you're talking about 3 ft. It's a line that goes right up. One has some beautiful drilling plants, and one has no drilling plants, it's got no money, it's got poverty."
