I didn’t watch this but am I to understand that an elderly Black man stood up to a fascist, was then escorted out, and most of the white people in the room sat there and did nothing? Am I getting this right? I want to make sure before I say what I need to say.

CALL YOUR FUCKING CONGRESS PEOPLE RIGHT NOW. IT'S A SATURDAY. YOU GET TO JUST LEAVE A MESSAGE. SCRIPT I'M USING IS BELOW:

The U.S. government has put up a submission form for reporting schools who teach kids about “DEI.” It accepts file uploads. Internet, you know what to do enddei.ed.gov

Not to get political or anything, but if the US is to make it out of this, every single right wing think tank like The Heritage Foundation and The Federalist Society needs to be dismantled in its entirety, its source of funding seized, and its existence criminalized so as never to take root again.

NAACP lists companies that dump DEI in its tactical spending guide for Black Americans

learn about the Black Panther Party free breakfast program learn about the Zapatista uprising learn about Jane learn about the Kensington Welfare Rights Union learn about STAR learn about Act Up learn about the Battle of Blair Mountain learn about the Spanish Civil War we are not the first

“The Maryland National Guard must decline events which celebrates individuals based all or in part on immutable characteristics,” the memo said. Douglass was an abolitionist, suffragist, orator and author. That’s what we celebrate him. Let’s be clear: This bars celebrating him because he was Black.

BREAKING: A federal court temporarily blocked President Trump’s executive order aiming to restrict access to gender-affirming medical care for transgender people under age 19 nationwide. This is a major victory for our freedom to access life-saving care.

At some point we have to accept that a plurality of cis white Americans don't want democracy and certainly don't want multiracial democracy. Trump's approval ratings wouldn't be where they are if that wasn't true. He wouldn't be in the white house if that wasn't true.

way funnier than the conservatives who hated Kendrick Lamar's Super Bowl halftime show are the conservatives who thought he was doing the ultimate patriotic ode to America

they couldn't have booed just a LITTLE harder???? 💔

NYC Union Square

Under fascism, no one is safe. Universities stayed quiet as the admin targeted DEI & foreign aid, censored research, etc. Now, they face devastating cuts to indirect cost rates, threatening research & operations. Silence won’t protect institutions. It won’t protect people; it never does.

Neo-Nazis appeared in Lincoln Heights (metro Cincinnati) Ohio and got ran out of dodge… but not before locals stole and burned their swastika flag in the street.

Before folks start comparing this to European autocracies, pause and ask why so many folks - Black and white - didn’t know about the Tulsa Race Massacre. Or the Wilmington Coup. Or the Colfax Massacre. Or the Elaine, Arkansas massacre. Erasure has been a key tactic of white supremacy. Right here.

this is the most loser shit I’ve ever read

if you tried to pitch A Bug’s Life today Disney would chop you up and feed you to Bob Iger

they are mostly targeting black employees so this is quite literally just a repeat of woodrow wilson’s segregationist purge of the federal government

Judge rules that Black church in DC, which won a $2.8 million default judgment against the Proud Boys, now gains control over the trademark “Proud Boys.” The far-right group is barred from selling any related merchandise or symbols without the consent of the church. Gift link:

Today in US History: On Feb. 3, 1870, the 15th Amendment to the U.S. Constitution was ratified, granted black men the right to vote. It was passed by Congress on February 26, 1869. Black Americans were set free by the 13th amendment. The 14th Amendment guaranteed citizenship. #BlackHistoryMonth

Best city in the goddamn world.

Guy who spent the past four years feverishly scanning government websites so he could blame every fire, earthquake, bridge collapse, and hurricane on the closest nearby woman/black person/gay person so he could call them a DEI hire: look now is not the time for blame.

Elon Musk, who has not been elected or officially appointed to any office, successfully pushed the FAA Administrator to resign 9 days ago.

If ICE knocks on your door, don't open it--even a crack. Once the door is opened or even starts to open ICE can legally enter your home and search it. Here are your rights:

"The Chinese government will have your information." Oh no, what are they gonna do? Spy on me without a warrant? Use my location data to charge me for paying for an abortion? Bring racketeering charges against me for protesting a facility where cops train to shoot civilians? Sounds scary.

Walgreens CEO says anti-shoplifting strategy backfired: ‘When you lock things up…you don’t sell as many of them’

More than 100 years after its initial review that blamed Black men, the Dept. of Justice just released its report on the 1921 Tulsa race massacre The report says the attack “was so systematic and coordinated that it transcended mere mob violence”

Just gonna leave these here.

The United States is so broken and damaged, it has elected a CRIMINAL as its next president. What a horrible county.

Jeff Bezos never wanted this cartoon to become public. He killed it, and as a result, pulitzer prize editorial cartoonist Ann Telnaes quit. Make sure everyone sees this cartoon.
