And there it is. The Minnesota assassin who shot Democratic lawmakers “voted for Donald Trump and was a strong Trump supporter,” according to his best friend.

Burning money while people are getting buried by their needs

No better way to build morale in the military than forcing troops to march down largely empty streets in a thunderstorm to celebrate a draft dodger’s birthday

Melissa Hortman, who was assassinated last night, was the Speaker of the Minnesota House in the 2023-2024 session, when Democrats ran the state government. That means she had a leading role in shepherding the many landmark reforms that Dems adopted in that period—an important legacy. Brief 🧵.

No words. Truly hoping Rep. Hortman’s children have the support they will need to move through this loss.

Los Angeles. Just wow.

July 2024. @tarajihenson.bsky.social explained it plain as day on the BET Awards.

Defense attorney Shabazz says “snitch #1” is undocumented, has been deported 5 times, was serving a federal sentence until recently — and didn’t cooperate until Kilmar was famous and the federal agents offered him leniency. Prosecutor asks him to stop calling them “snitches”

We heard directly from more than 150 researchers, scientists and investigators about their terminated NIH grants and the science that’s being lost. Full story ⤵️

“She literally had to choose: physical harm or potential [ICE] custody.”

Put this on a billboard.

Padilla: If this is how DHS responds to a senator with a question you can only imagine what they're doing to farm workers, to cooks, to day laborers out in the Los Angeles community and throughout California.

We feed you. They hunt us.

Idk man but when the administration that tried to reject humanitarian aid for Los Angeles when it was burning tries to justify their illegal military occupation by saying they aren’t going to let LA burn it kinda sounds like bullshit

Rep. McIver was conducting oversight. That’s her duty as a Member of Congress. This isn’t justice—it’s retaliation. A political stunt meant to silence anyone who dares to hold power accountable. They may think they can scare us into silence. They’re dead wrong.

Just want to counter all the Robert E. Lee nonsense with the story of Mary Jane Richards, a brilliant woman and Union spy. Yet another amazing Black story—American story—that explains why these people are trying so hard to suppress them from our collective memory. youtu.be/Cz6io0D9uSw?...

In moments like these, I go to Frederick Douglass. Here are his words in a letter written after visiting Robert E. Lee’s abandoned plantation in 1863:

“Best interests of the child”

NEWARK, N.J. (AP) — US Rep. LaMonica McIver indicted on charges of ‘forcibly impeding’ immigration officers at New Jersey detention facility.

Thank you for saying this @thereclaimed.bsky.social

I will be damned if I allow a bunch of Confederate-waving January 6th apologists give the American people a lecture on flag waving. There is ZERO reason to enter an argument about patriotism with people who still worship traitors to America 150+ years later. They. Are. Breaking. The. Law.

Hello. I live in Los Angeles. The president is lying.

The weird, often whitewashed way the civil rights movement is taught (or not taught) seemed to convince a lot of people that nonviolence was met with nonviolence, instead of you know, dogs, hoses, beatings, death, etc

The fires are so extensive across Manitoba, Saskatchewan & Ontario currently that there are not enough air crafts to rescue remote Native Canadians. I am sending an SOS to every nation to help save the lives of people who are going to burn alive. Literally. Canada needs evacuation assistance.

I miscarried twice…once in a toilet. A 9 week pregnancy is the size of a period clot. I flushed the toilet. Today, I could go to jail for that. Jail. For a wanted pregnancy my body rejected and I took care of by myself.

Everyone rn

This is not a denial

AOC: The girls are fighting aren’t they

Important, foundational work!!

once again I must tap my own sign

One year out of college and with no apparent national security expertise, a 22-year-old is the Department of Homeland Security official tasked with overseeing the government’s main hub for combating violent extremism

The city of Tulsa, home to one of the most horrifying racial-terror massacres in U.S. history and the people who tried to cover it up, has announced a $105 million reparations package.

JUST IN: Newark Mayor Ras Baraka sues interim US Attorney Alina Habba for "false arrest and malicious prosecution." storage.courtlistener.com/recap/gov.us...

I have rarely had this level of loathing for someone I didn't know existed until 5 minutes ago

Go Newark Mayor 💥 Newark Mayor Ras Baraka is suing interim U.S. Attorney for New Jersey, Alina Habba, for false arrest and malicious prosecution.

Can’t believe they’re so bored that they got to the “rename the boats” stage of white nationalist governance.

I wish I was able to speak sports because it is hard to convey what this moment means to legal nerds. 🤣🤣

It says a lot about where we’re at in this country that a beloved voice actor was murdered by his homophobic neighbor and every headline is still running passive defense for his killer, doing everything not to call this hate crime what it was. These are scary times. RIP to Jonathan Joss.
