Arturo Alfonso Schomburg made his lifework documenting and sharing Black history & culture A leading voice during the Harlem Renaissance, he collected art, literature, slave narratives, more You can find his collection at NY Public Library's Schomburg Center for Research in Black Culture in Harlem

This is a masterpiece with so many layers. 1. Complete lack of responsibility, obviously. 2. STILL somehow manages to sanewash blatant racism as "issues raised" 3. Pivots immediately to, "but what does this mean for Farage?" lobby horserace bullshit.

This is the line to get a new membership at the Costco closest to me (45 min away). Lotta folks like me who are just outside comfortable driving distance but are finally getting a membership because it pairs nicely w/ support for labor & calling your reps everyday.

Destruction of critical thinking continues apace.

(📢) MAJOR BREAKING NEWS: The Daily Beast publishes a sourced allegation that Trump has been a Russian spy since 1987 and then—possibly under some form of threat—deletes it. But in an act of unusual heroism, it left it up long enough for Wayback Machine to capture it text. Here it is (please share):

At what point do leaders in the GOP band together (since they seem to lack courage individually) & say enough is enough? The party of Reagan becomes the tool of Putin if they don’t, especially after last night.

Claim: New #GMOs need no regulation because the changes derived from gene editing (NGTs) are indistinguishable from conventional breeding and could arise naturally—"This NGT rice showed a new genotype that could not be detected in any natural populations despite hundreds of varieties being screened"

Rufo called me a groomer and sent his audience after my family because I said I was fine with my daughter going to therapy. CPS got called. It took months to get rid of them. My former colleagues thought it was hilarious and did nothing.

Funeral march in London this Saturday evening remembering 500 days of genocide and 77 years of ethnic cleansing

This is the most wretched campaign of deliberate, explicit persecution the United States has perpetrated against a minority group in decades. Many of the most important people in politics and journalism are busying themselves trying to figure out how little to say or do about it.

The Trump regime's segregationist agenda is clear. I argue that having a Black man as president of white America enraged a portion of this country so much, that they decided to destroy any pipeline to Black advancement in academia, government, & workplaces. karenattiah.substack.com/p/trumps-seg...

Great piece by @adamserwer.bsky.social. Reminder that this isn’t the first time the federal workforce has been resegregated: Woodrow Wilson’s 1913 order to impose Jim Crow rolled back almost half a century of progress that saw Black people working at every level of the federal government.

Seems to me that this is exactly correct – and exactly consistent with MLK’s 1967 comments re “unregenerate segregationists who have declared that democracy is not worth having if it involves equality.”

A MUST-SEE‼️ The PayPal Mafia—Musk, Thiel, Sacks, and Botha—have ties to apartheid South Africa & a hand in US policy and the election. • Elon Musk – Unelected co-president, dismantling the government for his own gain. FUN FACT: His grandfather wanted to scrap democracy for technocrat rule. 🧵

I went to see a really good band tonight. Great musicians. Right up until they played Dixie for their closing number. "This one's for two of my great-great grandfathers." I walked out.

It’s not just Space X. Musk was able to save Tesla because of a loan from the Dept of Energy. Here he is in 2013 filled with gratitude for the federal agency & the taxpayers who saved his business. From reporting by @puck.news. airmail.news/issues/2025-...

I'm not having Fraser Nelson playing dumb on the rise of racism on the right after years spent printing Murray, Liddle, Taki and Shriver. I literally had a DM row with him years ago where I said this would happen.

Trump: Fire hundreds of thousands of career civil servants trying to keep America safe and running. Also, Trump: Give DHS a budget of up to $200 million to run anti-immigrant ads that repeatedly thank Trump for leading an immigration crackdown. www.rollingstone.com/politics/pol...

Wonder why Trump is throwing Ukraine under the bus and siding with Putin? Russian mafia oligarchs financed all his properties and kept him in business. It was money laundering on a massive scale. They literally own him. www.washingtonpost.com/outlook/trum...

This is climate arson, yes, but also the entire value proposition of Tesla, the reason for its insane stock price, is that it would end up the Amazon of electric cars: the only real game in town. Killing off non-Tesla electric car infrastructure is a gift to Musk.
