Tulsa was just the beginning.

Dear Lisa McClain, You are an abjectly disgusting protector of child rapists who uses our trauma and lived experience to push your anti-American hate agenda while simultaneously protecting the rich and powerful GOP who rape kids, with a preponderance of evidence. As a survivor, I say shame on you.

Reconstruction did not fail. It was deliberately dismantled. Kicking off our Second Annual BHM with a breakdown of how Black Democracy was strategically destroyed during Reconstruction, paving the way for segregation. THE SHATTERPOINT IS ALWAYS FREE.

The process of lawmaking in the US is designed to be slow, careful, and public. The entire journey begins with a bill (a formal written proposal for a new law), which can be introduced by any member of the legislative branch (the part of government made up of House of Representatives and Senate).

I've uploaded 2 #videos to my website about TPS rulings related to Burma, Venezuela, and Haiti. They are too long to post to Skylight, I apologize! They are totally free to watch, like everything on my website: jjhastings.com/2026/01/31/t...

Minneapolis Police Chief Brian O'Hara: "People have had enough. This is the third shooting in less than 3 weeks. The MPD went the entire year last year recovering about 900 guns from the street, arresting hundreds of violent offenders, and we didn't shoot anyone ... this is not sustainable."

We will never forget those of you who are complicit in trying to subjugate our Black brothers and sisters back into chattel slavery. We will never forget that you chose your minimum wage job over dignity, sanctity, and humanity. (3/3)

I do not have the appropriate words for the level of disgust I feel for Park Service employees who are going along with this, while telling themselves, "well, I'm just doing my job..." (2/3)

The executive branch does not get to establish religion any more than Congress does, and pretending otherwise is either bad-faith hair-splitting or a fundamental misunderstanding of how constitutional law works. jjhastings.com/2026/01/21/i...

The United States Congress is responsible for handling thousands of bills every year. Because there is too much work for every member of Congress to be an expert on every single topic, Congress use a system of smaller groups to work on laws. These groups are called committees.

TikTok removed multiple of my videos reading verbatim Epstein legal filings and claimed they are "misinformation", and gave me strikes against my account. Not surprising, just sharing.

Powerful systems of corruption that use the American #justice system to hold their hands over the mouths of victims. This isn't fodder for content. These are human beings. These are children. Many of whom couldn't hold on a moment longer with hope one day justice would come #epstein #video

I’ve drained my entire savings trying to survive. I cashed in what little retirement I had available at 38, just to keep a roof over my head. I sold things I loved. I took every gig, every scrap, every hustle I could find, even some I am ashamed of. I’m down to thirteen dollars in my bank account.

I am beyond excited to be teaching tonight at CRGE's inaugural Representation in Action monthly virtual teach-in series! This month, we break down the Powell Memo: the start of a 50 year plan for corporate-government takeover, show how it set the foundation for Project 2025 & Big Beautiful Bill.

Most Americans think they vote directly for president. But that’s not exactly true. The system that really decides who wins is called the Electoral College, and it was built into our democracy long before television, telephones, or even trains. 👇🏻 open.substack.com/pub/theshatt...
