Nothing will piss Tucker Carlson off more than watching us win.

For decades, Black women in power have been attacked, harassed, name called, and even worse. John, A few weeks ago one of the white supremacist anchors on Fox News went on live TV to say I’m “not smart enough for a real job.” As though nursing isn’t a real job. As though bein…

Once again, we’ve been failed by the Senators from Kentucky

John, Just a few months ago, Rand Paul tried to convince us all that our eyes weren’t working. For months, he worked to tell us a big lie — that the election was stolen — and he even let it lead to an insurrection, an attack on our nation’s Capitol. And now, the GOP is passing…
