I’m talking about black history getting erased from public spaces. Black voter districts are being dismantled. Black leaders are being sidelined from our ranks. Where do Americans of color fit in this vision?! Because it doesn’t seem like we fit!”— Co-host Sunny Hostin to Vice President J.D. Vance on ABC’s The View, June 16.   Jim Acosta: Trump’s Name Being Removed from Kennedy Center is Like Fall of Berlin Wall “This is a giant waste of time, and it’s a sign of what a petulant man-child he [Donald Trump] can be. But as we’ve been saying all night long and all day long, for that matter, this is very much like watching the Berlin Wall coming down. It is a sign that mankind, that humankind can stand up against tyranny.”— Former CNN correspondent Jim Acosta live-streaming on his podcast The Jim Acosta Show, June 13.    Robert De Niro: “I Can’t Love a Country Led by a Racist, Misogynist, Xenophobic Tyrant” “I can’t love a country that sends out masked militias to shoot citizens in the streets, torture our neighbors and separate families. I can’t love a country that’s led by a racist, misogynist, xenophobic tyrant. And let me just say it: I can’t love the country that’s led by Donald Trump and a sycophant Congress.”— Actor Robert De Niro at Rise Up, Sign Out: A Concert for the First Amendment, June 14.      Sponsored by James P.
