Ou a cruel political stunt, those are the words from the white house after the Florida Governor ron desantis sent two planes full of migrants to the wealthy enclave of Marthas Vineyard. What they are doing is a political stunt, and its its really just disrespectful to humanity. It doesnt afford them dignity. It is just cruel. So heres what happened. 50 migrants, including children, arrived at the vacation destination with no warning, according to local officials. Planes just and landed thats who got off. Local leaders say theyre now trying to move heaven and earth to provide the families with food, clothing, and shelter. They have nothing. Its a challenge for an island that has only one Homeless Shelter with room for only ten people. As for governor ron desantis, he is proudly taking credit for this.

the grotesque and cynical politics behind the florida governor s migrant stunt. just like the racist reverse freedom rides of the 1960s, these migrants were lied to every step of the way, so desantis could own the libs. also tonight, new reporting from the washington post on how trump s team grossly mischaracterized the nature of the documents that he was keeping at mar-a-lago. when the national archives first asked for them back. and what a way to end the week. fresh from her triumphant victory at the emmy awards, sheryl lee ralph from abbott elementary joins me tonight. we begin with the freedom riders. the group of white and black civil rights activists who rode buses across the south in 1961 with the goal of integrating public transportation and bus terminals. one of the original 13 freedom riders was the late great congressman john lewis. it was a bold act of resistance to challenge the segregation laws and the riders encounters violence, beatings, and yale time.
