We have the most anti-free speech government in modern American history. (And yet, in true Orwellian fashion, they claim to be champions of free speech.)

If you’ve never heard Whoopi Goldberg tell the story of how she came to be cast in the film adaptation of Dr. Alice Walker’s “The Color Purple,” you should definitely watch this. This right here. This Black Culture. This is Community. We are truly a remarkable people. 🖤🖤

Trump tried to bury this story on a Friday night, but it’s extremely important: He’s planning to take land on the border controlled by the Dept. of Interior and sign it over to Dept. of Defense so migrants “would have trespassed on a military installation,” resulting in harsher punishment.

Garcia: She's playing cosplaying as an ice agent, running around the country, going down to El Salvador, to prisons. You know, holding guns, dressing up. She is a joke

On a train to Lincoln to honour my father’s 90th. 30 years in the RAF, MBE for service to this country — a proud son of the #Windrush generation. Yet today’s Mirror reminds us the Windrush compensation scheme remains heartbreakingly ‘broken’😢 @dailymirror.bsky.social 👏🏽 @mrjamesob.bsky.social

It’s surreal how fast the United States has fallen into a dictatorial regime. Checks and balances are gone, the president disappears innocent people into foreign prison camps, words get banned, and the Overton window shifts at light speed. I honestly wonder these days when they will come for me.

SHARE WIDELY. KNOW YOUR RIGHTS. With mass deportations starting today across the country, it is vitally important - for both citizens and non-citizens - to know your rights. You have the right to remain silent. Assert it. You have the right to a lawyer. Ask for one. (1/3)

The House bill, titled the Safeguard American Voter Eligibility (SAVE) Act, passed by a vote of 220 to 208. It would require states to obtain in-person proof of citizenship—such as a passport or birth certificate—from individuals seeking to register to vote.

Prince and I were friends. He once attended a party I was DJing at. When he walked in I played a song by one of his favorites, Chaka Khan. He walked right up to the DJ booth and said "it don't go like that." I asked "what do you mean?" He said "you're playing it too fast." He loved Chaka Khan.

This is all because Maine wouldn’t remove two trans student athletes from their teams. Two in the entire state.

Mahmoud Khalil's new op-ed from detention— "Faced with a movement for divestment they couldn't crush, your trustees opted to set fire to the institution they're entrusted with…History will redeem us, while those who were content to wait on the sidelines will be forever remembered for their silence."

If the Supreme Court decides that the government can "erroneously" disappear you off the street to a foreign torture prison, and that federal courts have no power to do anything about it, that is, in a meaningful way, Pretty Much It www.supremecourt.gov/DocketPDF/24...

You would think a Christian about to do public speaking would always include the words "speak the truth" in their prayer but nah, she's praying for the ability to confidently articulate Trump's lies and have fun while doing it

When people avoid healing their pain, it doesn’t just hurt them, it hurts those close to them. It’s okay to completely step out until they do the work. Don’t allow unhealed people to keep playing with you. Anyone can catch this door.

Before folks overreact to headlines about the judge’s ruling in the Khalil case, please note that (1) it was an immigration judge (IJ), not a federal district court; and (2) the IJ had no power to consider Khalil’s constitutional objections. This particular decision was a fait accompli.

3 days ago RFK Jr. told the CDC to stop recommending water fluoridation, claiming it was a neurotoxin (this is a lie). Turns out he also just eliminated the CDC’s entire Lead Program, and now lead poisoned children in Milwaukee are just on their own. Lead IS a neurotoxin and harms brain development

Michael Gove used to ban teachers from their profession for life for drug use. He got caught taking cocaine and a few years later he's getting a peerage? It's as clear as day that drug laws are just there to punish the working class.

Too edgy for Private Eye? We recently ran the 1st of 3 ads in Private Eye magazine. But after our 1st they told us they wouldn't run any more. Did they give in to pressure from the shooting industry or another vested interest? Private Eye- too establishment for Wild Justice!
