@fetterman.senate.gov Hey, Fetterman, still wanna fund this? This would be premeditated murder, right?

Is this what they meant when they've told people ICE would "make them famous?"

Hey y'all! While the fight in Minnesota is FAR from over, I have been keeping an eye on Maine as well. I connected with the awesome folks over at No ICE for ME and got some links to share! The biggest one is the Maine Solidarity Fund. They are doing EVERYTHING right now. We just sent them $1000.

Abolish DHS. If you can imagine a world before Harry Potter and the Chamber of Secrets, you can imagine a world without the Department of Homeland Security. My latest at @startribune.com. (gift link)

Out today: THE CROWN'S SILENCE I'm delighted to share that my new book is officially out! It traces the British monarchy's involvement in the transatlantic slave trade and colonial slavery over hundreds of years. Please buy a copy, tell your library, & spread the word. bookshop.org/p/books/the-...

Charge him tonight? 👀 Charge him tonight, queen?

I'll say it again: If ICE were to stop tomorrow, we will not forget. We will bring each and every person involved in this nationwide harassment, abuse, false imprisonment, theft, trespassing, and murder (among many other crimes) to justice.

This is so awful. 💔

A little Philly joy for this frozen morning.

I don't have any whisky (a failure on my part), so I'm having Moscato. Slàinte mhath on this Burns Night.

This is Trump's "many people are saying." If these people *do* exist, they are too cowardly to publicly say it.

It's switched over to sleet, but it looks like maybe 7 or 8 inches of snow so far?

I'm stress eating these puffs. Pretty tasty.

Leading up to that.. Eric Lee Atty Kids screaming "Let us out! Let us out!"

Weird how none of those words are on Bluesky's Top Trending topics.

Why is property more important than the lives of those you are supposed to serve and protect? Why does property have more rights than people?

I also bought onions. Making a big pot of chicken noodle soup and maybe some French onion soup!

"See less notifications like this?" No, Instagram, I would like to see FEWER.

Honestly, my friends and family have been saying "lowercase ice" to differentiate.

please, if you can, get off Substack and use another platform

My MIL will probably want to go to "The Ack-uh-me" before the storm hits and I have warned her.

The grocery store was a madhouse yesterday, can't imagine what today and tomorrow will be like.

I thought this was Carson Beck...

I know I don't have a ton of media followers, but I'll put this out there anyway: if you need someone to comment/offer context on the removal of the slavery exhibit at the President's House site in Philly, get in touch. I just finished an entire book on Americans' fight over Washington and slavery.

Hiding the history to save their own feelings. Snowflakes.

Lovely. There's a Microsoft outage, so now I can't email anyone and they can't email me. Wrap it up, everyone, weekend came early!

Do you appreciate @nws.noaa.gov's posts on Bluesky? Did you know that this account is a pilot program that may or may not be continued and even expanded to NWS field offices? NWS is soliciting comments here! www.surveymonkey.com/r/PrototypeN... Press release: www.weather.gov/media/notifi...

Imagine pretending *anything* more important is going on in Minnesota.

Literal monsters.

The U.S. media after that speech.

No thank you!

A foot and a 1/2 of snow better get me a snow day on Monday. 😭

Officially starting a new job Feb. 2nd. Mom's in the hospital with kidney failure again. 9th anniversary of Dad's passing is this week. Trump admin's trying to take us back to our imperial roots while also assaulting and murdering Americans. And the world keeps turning.

Congrats to Indiana, what a run.

Carson Beck gonna Carson Beck.

Hahahhahhahahha

Is he there to steal another trophy?

Doink!

My mom has been in the hospital the past 36 hrs. Her kidneys failed again, but she is recovering quickly and might be out tomorrow or Wednesday.

The Albany Movement started well before MLK, Jr. arrived in Albany on Dec. 15th. Since the summer 1961, students at the local HBCU, Albany State, had been organizing, inspired by the Freedom Riders & frustrated by the Kennedy admin's pulling back on civil rights support.

For more on Mrs. Rutha Mae Harris (I'm from the South, you can't get me not to say Mr., Mrs. ma'am, & sir. I mind my Ps & Qs, sorry not sorry!):

My mom was a teacher & worked for several years w/Mrs. Rutha Mae Harris at Monroe High School, one of the original Freedom Singers. Mrs. Harris would often sing at Black History Month programs in Albany & around the country. She is 85 now. The past isn't past.

A caveat on my viewpoint: my parents are from Atlanta and were 19yo college students at GA State when MLK, Jr. was assassinated. While I was born in Albany, I wouldn't say my views are necessarily those of the average white person from Albany.

Today, I'm going to do a thread about my hometown, Albany, GA and the Albany Movement, which was an important part of the Civil Rights Movement and a pivotal moment in Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr.'s activism. I'll share links along the way for those interested in reading more.
