5/Dear Media,
Please don't invite @MMFlint to be on your programs again. Looking at you @chrislhayes @AriMelber
Michael Moore's a grifter and a chaos agent.
He's not an activist nor an advocate for anything other than advocating for himself to get more airtime. Write that down.

1/This is Jacob Blake's sister Letetra Widman. Here is her powerful statement.

"I am my brother's keeper."
2/"And when you say the name Jacob Blake, make sure you say father, make sure you say,, cousin, make sure you say, son, make sure you say uncle, but most importantly, make sure you say, human. Human life. Let it marinate in your mouth, in your minds. A human life."
3/"Just like every single one of y'all and every, we're human. His life matters. So many people have reached out to me telling me they're sorry that this happened to my family. Well, don't be sorry 'cause this has been happening to my family for a long time."

1/I did a presentation on narratives created by conservatives Newt Gingrich, William J. Baroody (founder of Conservative Think Tank, AEI), Lewis F. Powell (fmr. SCOTUS Justice), Roger Ailes (Founder, Fox News). You should know, they detested their "base". Called them lazy.
2/When you hear Fox News talking points regurgitated by self-described Republican citizens, that's by design. Roger Ailes said in his internal memos during the Nixon Administration, "People are lazy." With TV, "Thinking is done for you." What did they want their base "to think"?
3/They wanted them to think they were "The Real America" and that ____________ (insert made-up enemy here: Communists, Hippies, Black People, Democrats, Socialists, Radicals, etc.) were trying to "take America from them."
Why did they do this? Profit.

That's it. Profit.

1/The reason Russia/GOP have decided to question Kamala's Blackness is because it's one of their favorite tactics. If you have a formidable opponent: "delegitimize" them; because Kamala has been so thoroughly vetted, this is really all they have: bring her identity into question.
2/We know Trump, The GOP, and Russia used this tactic against Obama with their racist birther conspiracy. They wanted to "delegitimize" Obama's entire Presidency. As Toni Morrision said, "The function, the very serious function of racism is distraction." “The function, the very serious function of racism is dist
3/Russia/GOP know the US has been a powder keg around discussions of race & are using that to their advantage; many of our country's racist policies (slavery, 3/5 compromise, miscegenation laws) have long attempted to define our humanity, Blackness, &representation w/o our input. “The three-fifths clause (Article I, Section 2, of the U.S
