Congressman Jamaal Bowman Tells Marjorie Taylor Green To Go Home
/Did you see New York Congressman Jamaal Bowman run MTG out of lower Manhattan Tuesday? It was epic, and AOC has the video.
It’s not pretty to watch, but AOC applauds Congressman Bowman for his contained confrontation and honesty with Greene.
Every word he said to MTG is true, and she high-tailed it out of Manhattan, didn’t she! The only reason she was in New York City today was to kiss Donald Trump’s butt, as his future vice-presidential running mate.
We are SICK of hate-mongering white supremacist Republicans running their hate-mongering mouths.

/Anne of Carversville backed and helped fund the April 4, 2023 victory of Janet Protasiewicz over the uber-conservative, 2020 presidential election-overturning candidate Dan Kelly for an open seat on the Wisconsin Supreme Court.
With 69% of the vote in, the proud liberal has 56% of the vote vs 44% for Kelly. The race became the most expensive state Supreme Court race in US history. Protasiewicz, a judge on the Milwaukee County Circuit Court, was elected for a 10-year term.
The new court will determine the fate of abortion rights, the most gerrymandered state political maps in America and a range of voting rights issues in the battleground state for two years, including the 2024 presidential election.
Kelly lost his seat on the Wisconsin state Supreme Court in 2020 to liberal Jill Karofsky after advising Republicans on legal efforts to overturn the 2020 presidential race through the use of “fake electors.” Democrats from across America sent groundbreaking sums of money to support Protasiewicz, who was relentless in her attacks against Kelly for trying to overturn the 2020 results.

/Many of us are determined to start publishing good stories about black, brown, yellow, red, white, Jews, Muslims, Christians, Hindus, Buddhists and everybody else living together in America. And this is a GREAT story!
Civic Cipher is a nationwide show that started in 2020 to create a space for Black and brown people to have courageous conversations.
West will give them the finger and do what he wants, while ranting on Parler that Ja and Ward stole his designs. But facts matter, and Kanye West would be violating their trademark.
The trademark was filed the day Kanye West dropped his WLM clothes in Paris. The original owner of the trademark is a listener of their show. The original filer was so disturbed over the implications of Kanye West’s marketing of the divisive and race-baiting merchandise that he moved immediately on a filing. That individual wishes to remain anonymous.

Coronavirus-sniffing Dogs Unleashed at Miami airport to Detect Virus in Employees Washington Post
Dogs have long been called "man's [human's] best friend." But their new role as COVID detectors is awesome. Some will surely be shot dead in the line of duty -- as men are not always dogs' best friend -- but this new role for our beautiful dogs is so inspiring.
AND there is no hierarchy from what I'm hearing. ALL dogs have the same capacity -- or at least pedigree dogs and mutt dogs -- have the awesome ability to detect COVID. They can also detect the variations among COVID strands and their accuracy rate is about 97%.
My mind works in unfettered ways. I think there's a lesson about race, humans and white nationalism to be learned from our beloved dogs. Can they heal America? Humans are failing.
Moving from helping veterans to the entire population of Americans, our dogs are stepping to show us how to roll under deadly pressure. ~ Anne
VA Supreme Court Says Dead White Men Do Not Rule: Remove the Damn Statue!

VA Supreme Court Says Dead White Men Do Not Rule: Remove the Damn Statue! AOC Fashion
The statue of Confederate military leader, anti-United States successionist General Robert E. Lee has loomed six stories tall over Virginia’s state government and its citizens in Richmond since 1890. After a never-ending series of court battles, the VA Supreme Court ruled definitively last Thursday that the state of Virginia may now begin to disassemble the infamous, 12-ton statue.
The court ruled that "restrictive covenants" in the 1887 and 1890 deeds that transferred the statue to the state no longer apply. In June 2021
Virginia Solicitor General Toby Heytens argued before the court for less than a minute last June, regarding one of two cases seeking to block removal of the Lee statue that “no court has ever recognized a personal, inheritable right to dictate the content of poor government speech about a matter of racial equality, and this court should not be the first one ever to do so.”
"Those restrictive covenants are unenforceable as contrary to public policy and for being unreasonable because their effect is to compel government speech, by forcing the Commonwealth to express, in perpetuity, a message with which it now disagrees," the justices wrote.
Gov. Ralph Northam said upon the announcement of the court’s ruling: “Today it is clear—the largest Confederate monument in the South is coming down.”
In its own legal documents before the court, the current state of Virginia wrote:
“Symbols matter, and the Virginia of today can no longer honor a racist system that enslaved millions of people. Installing a grandiose monument to the Lost Cause was wrong in 1890, and demanding that it stay up forever is wrong now.”

Ulla Johnson Fall 2020 Campaign by Yelena Yemchuk | Ulla's Tears for Jacob Blake
/Ulla Johnson Fall 2020 Campaign by Yelena Yemchuk | Ulla's Tears for Jacob Blake
The spirits of female nomads permeate Ulla Johnson’s Fall 2020 collection, filmed in this new campaign video , shot in the unfamiliar terrain of Long Island’s North Fork and starring Indira Scott and Jordan Daniels. April Hughes styles the shoot with images by Yelena Yemchuk.
AOC is not surprised to visit Ulla Johnson’s Instagram and immediately discover a tribute to Jacob Blake. Any designer who works with artisans in Peru and Kenya, while living in Ft. Green, Brooklyn is probably committed to the Black Lives Matter movement. Ulla writes:
“This is Jacob Blake. He was shot seven times in the back in front of his children. The cycle of violence in our country must come to an end. The moment is now for us to join our voices in unison to demand change at the local, state, and federal level, to cast out the current regime, to retrain our police officers, to fund our social workers, to unite our actions against a system that perpetuates racist violence.”
At this moment, Anne hears activists in Washington, DC gathered on this important day in America’s racial history. Jacob Blake’s sister is speaking, as he lies in a hospital bed paralyzed— BUT SHACKLED !!! — to his bed.
August 28: Anne’s Annual Day of Reflection
Today is the 57th anniversary of the March on Washington for Jobs and Freedom, held in Washington, DC on Wednesday, August 28, 1963. It’s also the anniversary of the brutal murder of the young, 14-year-old Emmett Till in 1955.
It’s also my birthday, and so the day of August 28, — one that should be spent in quiet celebration — is always a day of deep reflection for me about America’s original sin of slavery. Even more painful is the reality that decades later systemic racism is worse than ever in our country — best exemplified by the presidency of Donald Trump.
