IT'S FINALLY POSTED. If you've ever wondered -what the Ballerina Farm dynasty is up to -if their meat is worth the $11/lb+ pricetag -how the trad hype stacks up against the real live Mormon women of the 1800s I got you covered youtu.be/yLZUWoDq9QA

Justice Kavanaugh: “If the person is a U. S. citizen or otherwise lawfully in the United States, that individual will be free to go after the brief encounter.”

To reports that under Xi, China has perfected the technological surveillance state, Larry Ellison says ⤵️ Ellison should be ashamed of himself, but that is an emotion with which he sadly has no familiarity. Hubris has taken over all available space.

79. American citizen.

For those in the #Portland area, faith leaders are convening a peaceful prayer service on Monday evening ~ details below ⤵️

Well said, @marcelias.bsky.social. Immediate = thwart Trumpitarianism. Longer-term reimagine what a more resilient democratic system looks like that takes into account reality of past decades’ R efforts. Thru out: protect the vulnerable pple T targets to gin up hate. We can do hard things.

What commitment to rule of law looks like ⤵️ 💗

You have to fight.

🚨 Privileged people, like myself, have a responsibility now more than ever. The escalation of hate and violence requires more than posts on an echo chamber. What can we do? Don’t make her file a police report! When you see this happen — YOU call the police and report it! Gotaprilshowers from IG 1/2

Ismael Ayala-Uribe, 39, died in ICE custody on Monday. He was brought to the United States at four years old and lived most of his life in Westminster, CA. He was the 14th person to die in federal immigration custody this year.

All happening to Black people bc Charlie Kirk was killed by a…white guy. 😑

NEW: ICE agents violently arrested a man in a busy Hyattsville, MD intersection this week, at one point brandishing guns and pointing them at bystanders. I spoke to multiple witnesses—including a local priest whose church is a sanctuary for undocumented people: www.thehandbasket.co/p/ice-agents...

Le sigh.

Good. Now let's investigate and if warranted, prosecute Trump's receipt of funds from Egypt to fund his campaign...

🔥PLEASE REPOST🔥 🚨If ACA tax credits are NOT extended, premium payments will increase by more than 100% for many of the 24M Americans who buy their own coverage & it's on top of rising food & housing costs among other inflationary pressures that are adding major STRESS.🚨 www.kff.org/from-drew-al...

What the fuck?

WA voters: I called @cantwell.senate.gov's office & asked re CR to keep the government operating: specifically, if the Rs continue to be so cruel and intransigent on healthcare, is she willing NOT to vote for the CR? "The Senator refuses to say how she will vote." 😒 Please call today.

Took fire to the face. ICE definitely isn’t aiming at ground and firing at people’s heads again.

Much smaller crowd now. A few dozen protesters still here. Despite protesters lingering ~50 feet back from the fence, ICE keeps saying “move back” and firing at protesters in this parking lot from behind their fence. One protester, “I can help you find a very good therapist.”

Brilliant!

I was back at 26 Federal Plaza today, where an ICE agent violently threw this bereft woman to the ground in front of her kids. She had not touched him. She did not pose any threat. She had to be taken to the hospital. (🎥: Elias Eliahu)

Chicago just went all in on renewable energy and is demonstrating that it works. Chicago now powers EVERY city-owned building – from airports to police stations – with renewable energy. That includes O’Hare airport.

It looks like Rambo here dropped his magazine on the ground. Clearly these studs have received oodles of training. Clearly…

Should this man be in any law enforcement position? Now ask this: do you believe this man will face any consequences for this violent assault on an unarmed, emotionally distressed woman? We can call in complaints to the DHS misconduct hotline: 1-800-323-8603 www.oig.dhs.gov/hotline

Dr Taylor passed away. His work is invaluable to African American history.

www.seattletimes.com/seattle-news... Dr Quintard Taylor, founder of @blackpastonline.bsky.social, “there’s a direct frontal assault on African American history.” The rich detail @blackpastonline.bsky.social contains of AfAm achievement across a range of endeavors refutes DJT’s cynical worldview.

"We are living through the end of the Second Reconstruction. If past is prologue, we know there will be attempts to gentrify and erase Black history. Dr. Taylor has given us tools to preserve that history and make sure it's available for generations to come." Remembering Dr. Quintard Taylor, a […]

Dr. Quintard Taylor, historian and founder of BlackPast.org, has died at 77. From "The Forging of a Black Community" to building a global archive, he made Black history accessible to all. Read Lola E. Peters' reflection here: soseaem.org/4mEIrTv #Seattle

Such a loss 💧

Nearly half of all federal funding for tribes at risk under Trump's 'big beautiful' bill...

We must demand leaders begin speaking out. Support those who are. Why are dems so afraid to say #AbolishICE when they have violated their oath to the Constitution. They have broken their contract w/the American people. We must stand up!

You can't make this shit up abcnews.go.com/US/ice-relea...

This is why we say it's up to white people to fix this. If y'all can still associate with people who follow people like this, America is doomed. They don't give a damn what Black people think as long as they can still argue with y'all over the Thanksgiving table under the guise of civility.

www.seattletimes.com/seattle-news... “Numerous health & human rights violations have been documented at the facility over the years: Severe medical neglect, unsanitary food, swamp-like water, the deployment of “chemical agents” against detainees…excessive uses of force and solitary confinement.” 😑

Episode 1 of The Long Answer is out now, wherever you stream podcasts. Join us as we discuss everything from identity and belonging to responsibility and organizing, and why we're part of a joint Jewish-Palestinian struggle for justice, peace and equality in Israel-Palestine.

How many Black women does Trump have to attack like this before conservative activist academics who claim to be so concerned about civil discourse express as much concern about this as they do about women's and gender studies departments?

Trump was in NYC at the UN giving a pro-Israel speech. 0 protests. Harris was in NYC for her book tour and a mob pro-of Hamas pasty progressives disrupted her speech to scream at her and accuse her of 'genocide.' They DGAF about Gaza. They're just racist Jew haters.

Sickening behavior by this agent. The fact that Mayor Adams has rolled out the red carpet for ICE is a stain on our city.

Trump's masked Gestapo thugs are beating & kidnapping people indiscriminately. Some are documented immigrants, some are citizens! There's no due process, just cruelty. This 80yo heart patient/business owner was brutalized & detained. Talk to friends & Volunteer/donate: Stopelectionrigging.com

WOW. The lead plaintiff is a Latino man who's been here legally for 24 years. He was grabbed off the street by plainclothes federal agents who didn't even ASK about his status. He was detained overnight and only released once a supervisor realized he had been illegally arrested.

Maycie should be 32 today. She was a vibrant young lady with a bright future…career, marriage, faith. Her killer was a right-wing extremist who claimed to be "doing God's work" by shooting moviegoers in Louisiana. #HonorWithAction Demand #sensiblegunlaws thebirthdayfairyproject.org

Harrell keeping it consistent

Seen in front of a house today. Seems like an accurate likeness… By the way, the #EpsteinTrump documents still need to be released & abusers of Epstein’s trafficked victims need to be held accountable

If the federal government shuts down, the only ones to blame are Trump and his spineless cronies in the Republican Party.

"When they own the information, they can bend it all they want"

3 people have died in ICE custody this month and 15 so far in 2025, surpassing last year’s total. Cases include Ismael Ayala-Uribe, who died after surgery at Adelanto, and Santos Banegas Reyes, who died in a New York jail, raising concerns over detainee safety… www.theguardian.com/us-news/2025...
