   Kurds announce they have been helping provide intel that ultimately found Baghdadi for five months.

   That means as they were helping us find Baghdadi, Donald Trump greenlit the Turkish operation to slaughter them.#TrumpBetrayedKurds

   JOHN KELLY AIN’T SHYT 😠😠 😠

   during his tenure with trump, john kelly attacked immigrant families, lied about rep frederica wilson while attacking a gold star family, and constantly leaked stuff to the press to make himself look good. a real sack of excrement.

   Matt Taibbi moved to Moscow in the 90s and founded a newspaper that was "juvenile, misogynistic, and even cruel." He wrote a book while addicted to cocaine. He harassed women journalists and physically attacked male ones.@mtaibbi is Trump's mini-me. https://t.co/keX4AkcFtj https://t.co/UFxbTE6Q65

   With all due respect to people who say otherwise, there is no reason to trust John Durham who buried Bush Admin torture crimes & has signed on to this obviously corrupt endeavor. And he doesn't "need" a grand jury for anything. Spare us this crap about institutionalists. Please.

   I tend to agree. She is 93 years old. She has no time or energy to be singlehandedly orchestrating a smear campaign at Meghan. And tbh i don't think she knows the depth of it anyway. Charles needs to step up and support Meghan bc it is clearly his OTHER son who is behind it https://t.co/7RUUKMZBWh

    HBCU's have a legacy of protest in the name of justice. More often than not, students have lead with moral clarity to stand up for what's right even if they stand alone.

    To give Trump a platform at Benedict to gaslight South Carolinians & go unchallenged disrespects that legacy.
