“When Agent Jackson applied the carotid restraint to Carlos, Carlos’s vision went black and then he lost consciousness.” Even after he went into seizures the agent continued to apply the carotid restraint with at least one hand.

BREAKING: We're suing Louisiana officials for suspending the state's primary election after voting has already begun. On the heels of a Supreme Court decision that eviscerated protections for voters of color, elected officials jumped at the chance to disenfranchise people — we won't allow it.

I Love Boosters
Boots Riley made his directorial debut with the totally weirdo (complimentary) movie Sorry to Bother You in 2018. He’s been quiet since then, but he’s back with a new comedy, I Love Boosters. This looks great

Just rewatched Out of the Past last night... and then heard of this SNL revisit with Mitchum and Greer for the first time. Pity the linked video doesn't have the whole short, but what I could see is intriguing. Anyone know where I could find the whole thing? Google's failing me.

I say it again and again: Because we don’t learn the real history of this country, we do not understand what this country is capable of. After 1870, 22 Black men served in Congress. By 1901, because of racist SCOTUS rulings, electoral coups and election cheating and violence, there were none.

The Trump administration rejected all four women farmers chosen by their peers to represent them in an industry group called the United Soybean Board earlier this year, a rare intervention by the U.S. Department of Agriculture that three of the women suspected was because of their gender.

This clip is extraordinary - and a perfect example of the gaslighting this Administration does. McMahon is proposing to cut funding to enforce civil rights by 35%. IT'S IN HER BUDGET IN BLACK AND WHITE. And she came before Congress and denied it. Up is down. Down is up.
