Abolish ICE

Over and over again Trump tells us that he thinks the Nazis were the good guys in the story.

Scholar Andre Perry explains why Trump's push to increase the birthrate & white-on-white marriage is based on myths about Black families, the cause of racial inequality & the fear of whites becoming minorities

trump's department of homeland security has thus far arrested: a judge a democratic mayor a democratic congresswoman now handcuffing a democratic congressional staffer gothamist.com/news/homelan...

Next time someone in Congress glibly dismisses your need for healthcare, remember that they have some of the best healthcare in the country. And it was paid for by YOU.

"Apologists for Israel might want to reject the charge of genocide [and] suggest its hyperbole or even antisemitic, but the actual experts on genocide know a genocide when they see one - and they see one in Gaza." My receipts on all the experts who say Gaza *is* a genocide. zeteo.com/subscribe

Five yrs out “demonstrators say they are still contending w/ intense trauma and long-lasting injuries... What’s more, settlement money has been swallowed by mounting medical debt, legal fees & other costs associated w/ being wounded.” Our dear Linda Tirado and so many others stories featured here

NPR published a story 5 days ago about three high ranking Trump officials with clear ties to Hitler-admiring antisemites and it barely made a ripple. These are the kind of stories that used to end political careers. Now the subjects of the stories just hold up a middle finger and keep plowing ahead.

Federal judge dresses down Alina Habba: "Your role is not to secure convictions at all costs, nor to satisfy public clamor, nor to advance political agendas. Your allegiance is to the impartial application of the law, to the pursuit of truth and to the upholding of due process for all."

This is a brilliant three piece work of art in response to the house of horrors burning on the plantation noted below.

“Offering deluxe accommodations, amenities, and events, Nottoway continues to enchant visitors with its rich history and Southern hospitality.” Sir, there is nothing enchanting enslaving, fellow, human beings, genocide, torture, brutality & rape.

Owner Dan Dyess bought the plantation in 2024, turning it into a resort. He also owns another plantation with a history of enslaving people for profit in the form of bed-and-breakfast. Here’s a sentence that shows how the white washing rolls on his marketing website.

I hope the 155 people enslaved on this plantation are getting to celebrate with joy in heaven. Wishing their descendants joy as well! Folks need to stop having their weddings/events at former plantations! x.com/ABC/status/1...

ICE agents *know* what they are doing is probably illegal, which is why they try to conceal their identities with scarves and sunglasses. #AmericanGestapo

The GOP wanted to impeach Biden for a fake $5M bribe from Ukraine that was made up by a guy sitting in prison for lying about it, but they’re cool with a $400M plane from Qatar. Do I have that right?

If South Africa is a sovereign nation, how are we able to send our own planes we paid for to transport white Afrikaners to the U.S., but simultaneously unable to send a plane to return Abrego Garcia et al?

Tyre Nichols was murdered by officers who laughed while he suffered. Their acquittal was not based on evidence or law, but racism, anti-Blackness. Having officers of color does not change the pattern of police killing more ppl of color than ⚪️ ppl. Ending racism against Black & Brown people will.

Tyre Nichols deserved justice. Yet, our broken legal system has once again failed to convict men whose unforgivable crimes were recorded for the world to see. And that is as disgraceful as it is heartbreaking. I am speechless.

Today’s verdicts are a devastating miscarriage of justice. The world watched as Tyre Nichols was beaten to death by those sworn to protect and serve. That brutal, inhumane assault was captured on video, yet the officers responsible were acquitted.

Malia Obama is stepping into her director era — this time for Nike. The 26-yo directed a POWERFUL campaign video for A’ja Wilson’s debut signature sneaker, the A’One, dropping tomorrow. From hoop dreams to Black girlhood joy, this project beautifully celebrates style, strength, and sisterhood!

World Central Kitchen has run out of food to serve in Gaza. Its bakery ("recently the last working bakery in Gaza") is out of flour. There are 100,000+ tons of food in staging areas within driving distance of Gaza, and Israel refuses to let them in wck.org/news/gaza-up...

He wrecked your livelihood, stole your rights, kidnapped your neighbors, defunded your institutions, put the full weight of the state behind bigotry. But at least. . .

Black children are treated like adults and Black adults are treated like children.

It’s not deportations. It’s human trafficking.

I love the internet

If you wonder why men *obsessed* with the United States having more children are kidnapping children and sending them to other countries, those children were the incorrect color.

Pritzker: As a Ukrainian American Jew who built a holocaust museum… let me say this to Donald Trump: Stop tearing down the constitution in the name of my ancestors. Do not claim that your authoritarian power grabs are about combatting anti-semitism.
