The most unpatriotic, and sadly not unprecedented. Time and again weve weathered threats to the right to vote in free and fair elections. Each time we founding a way to overcome. The 21st century jim Crow Assault is real. Its unrelenting. And were going to challenge it vigorously. Biden mirrored Lyndon Johnsons voting Rights Speech in 1965 invoking the civil Rights Anthem we shall overcome. In assailing what he called the greatest threat to democracy since the civil war. But biden didnt offer much in The Way of a plan. When President Johnson delivered his speech to a joint session of congress, he was urging passage of the voting Rights Act. A law thats now essentially dead. And today texas democrats continued their fight against republican Voter Suppression efforts in their state after more than 50 elected democrats left texas last night to block the passage of new Voter Suppression laws. The longest serving black woman in the Texas Legislature outlined exactly whats at stake for her c
People who are elected to school boards are typically white, wealthier, almost carpet baggers who insert themselves in this. then they get to the state legislature and obliterate voting rights. your viewers already know how ridiculous the argument is to make. but the bigger strategy point is how do you stop this from happening at the school board level because there has to be policy to prevent this kind of thing and that is the key. if they can take away our history and rewrite the narrative, then they take away the ability to speak a truthful story about this country. i sometimes wonder is it that they don t know or that they don t want everybody else to know. i really do think they know. they know what they have done but they don t want other people to know. it s very strategic the way that they have streamlined a new narrative. there s a case in connecticut where they falsely say that the enslaved people were like workers. in alabama there are textbooks that the slavery was the happ
that s not a quote. it s kind of a double standard. so he s talking he s talking about the piece about the first black president. i assigned that to my students at syracuse. it didn t break them. what he was upset about is that he quoted something that steve bannon and trump said and it was quoted in there and they didn t like it. it s kind of insulting, so insulting that he is even mentioned with these people. somebody who said just because you believe it s fact don t make it a fact. it s really unfortunate, joy. ike the bigger case because we could easily get caught up with this one teacher but this is a fight with the school board. so a lot of conservatives who want to run for office, they use local school boards as their launching pad and there s actually data behind this that
Police plaza including the former mayor dave dinkins and all of us were arrested on a daily basis. he refused to even meet with the black officials to discuss the case, including the sitting state controller at the time, h. carl mccall. so all of a sudden he discovers law enforcement shooting unarmed police? it is clearly for him to try and in some way get around this insurrection, get around this attempted coup d etat, and to misuse the death of this woman to try and in some way castigate those officers and not deal with the fact that they in fact were dealing with an insurrection to stop the legitimate certification of the vote of the american people. and it s certainly something that is totally contrary to his record as the mayor of new york and the rest of his life. he always said don t question police, even when they kill
Unarmed people. i mean, michael daly, you ve covered rudy giuliani. it was so bad that there were people who felt that he was so much more in favor of police that he neglected the fire department, that they didn t get the good radios before 9/11. he was all in for whatever police did. the abner louima case. i could go on and on. what do you think of seeing him now suddenly turn on the police because he s so for trump? you look at the dorsmand case. he said the juvenile record? that was he was 11 years old and he punched a kid in a fight over a quarter. he tried to make that into a crime. he said he s no altar boy. well, guess what? he was an altar boy. literally. and he was buried at a church where he was an altar boy. so his reflex was not just to put the cops but to slime the person that was murdered. and here you have a situation where he s elevating her. and i m not saying that she deserves anything other than
