No one rips up the White House to build a ballroom unless they plan to use it for a long time, as in after 2028.

Prime example of white privilege in plain sight. Black kids get called adults to justify blame, while white adults get called “kids” to excuse their hate. They’re not boys and girls, they’re grown-ass men and women, and the receipts are in writing.

The Nuremberg laws were passed on September 15, 1935. And so the countdown begins. History, as they say, rhymes.

Dean Cain—whose only claim to fame is that he played Superman in 1993 and no one has asked about or for him since—plans to become a slave catcher, I mean an ICE officer. Cain’s family was imprisoned at a Japanese American internment camp in Idaho during WW2. This man has no self-awareness.

Pretty hard to believe that the particularly heinous and brutal treatment Christian Smalls was subjected to by Israeli authorities was not a function of racism given it was not inflicted on other Handala detainees. And the US media dgaf.

The purpose of the United States Constitution is to prevent the rise of tyranny. It failed to achieve that purpose. We can obviously blame political elites across the spectrum for its failure; but it’s also worth contending with the fact that our political system is no longer fit for purpose.

In an alternative universe, the Democrats would bring down Trump and the MAGA party over demands to release the Epstein files. The problem is Dems know it would bring down some of their own. The other issue is that the Democratic Party appears to be not worth a damn right now.

What could go wrong?

If Hawley didn't vote for the budget bill, it wouldn't have passed the Senate.

J. Edgar Hoover, Joseph McCarthy, Roy Cohn and Stephen Miller are giving the same energy.

In True Narratives: Framing the Pain, Punishment & Lethality of Termination of Parental Rights, through the practice of abolitionism, Corey Best and I seek to make the chains visible, beginning to excavate the true costs of family policing’s relentless reliance on the civil death penalty.

What if we practiced living in truth, where we understand family policing as nothing but a modern day plantation—reborn in bureaucracy—where the chains are legal, the overseers wear badges, and the lash is replaced with court orders?

So all the White House political reporters are spending the weekend getting up to speed on the Abrego Garcia case and litigation related to the gulag in El Salvador so that they can prep good questions for Bukele’s visit on Monday, right? Right????????

Hundreds of thousands of people worldwide have taken to the streets to protest Tesla. Trust the process. #3E #TeslaTakeDown

He fired the black chairman of the joint chiefs for being woke and hired his brother.

UPDATE: “Tim Pool, A right-wing influencer who was paid hundreds of thousands of dollars to spread Russian propaganda during the 2024 presidential election has been added to the White House press pool.” Weird how stuff like this keeps happening.🤷🏼‍♂️

For those who are hearing about Mahmoud Khalil, the Palestinian man and permanent resident that ICE snatched up for helping lead the Columbia protests, remember: America has a history of mass deporting U.S. CITIZENS and throwing them in concentration camps. No one is safe.

Columbia: it's not his fault, I just make him really angry sometimes, but he loves me

They kicked the AP out of the oval to make room for this pathetic “journalist”.

On this day 13 years ago 17 year old Trayvon Benjamin Martin was murdered in Miami Gardens, Florida. This incident, more than any other, started the modern police abolitionist movement. Remember Trayvon.

Of the Chiefs of Staff, vice chiefs of staff, and judge advocates general of the three branches, Trump fired all the women and Black people.

He is firing FAA workers by the hundreds and he knows he is going to end up killing a lot of people so we get this tweet and that covers everything apparently

Shameful. The homeland security secretary spreads disinformation & threats in a public service announcement.

I’m thrilled and grateful to share that Empire City is nominated for the Ambie awards for: Best history podcast, Best Reporting, and Podcast of the year! My incredible team worked to bring us the history we need to create the future we absolutely must fight for. Energy up for more good news.

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

Termination notices going out this afternoon to more than 300 employees of the National Cancer Institute. Access likely ends today. Four weeks paid leave and that’s it. Strong power move for Team Cancer.

Do not comply with fascism, do not cooperate with white supremacy… Penn scrubs diversity initiatives from its website to comply with Trump order www.inquirer.com/education/un... via @PhillyInquirer

NBC News is being kicked out of its space in the Pentagon and replaced by OANN.

Fourteen hours before the crash. 👇

The simplest understanding of Democrats moving right is that they’re almost all completely unwilling to ever move an inch to the left (and there are strong incentives against them ever doing so)

Chicago, baby.

I just saw Trump’s latest executive order targeting trans kids and shutting down their health care. I’m asking all of us to stand up with one voice for the trans community.

I hope there are lawsuits and they get every penny they demand.

Democrats: “Tuning out the noise.” “The noise”: Trans people, disabled people, immigrants, marginalized people literally dying.

what the FUCK

Not a great sign when Wired says it won't name at least two fo the people Musk has installed to run the Office of Personnel Management because they may be minors www.wired.com/story/elon-m...

A lot of you make jokes about guillotines but few of you have been getting your woodworking and metalworking skills up. Get those callouses made, babes.

Saw a documentary once that described a traveling guillotine squad from Paris that went into the countryside to hunt down oligarchs who had fled to their chateaus. Seemed extreme at the time…less so now.
