HAPPENING NOW: DC is on fire. Protesters in the streets. The fucking National Guard rolling out of Union Station like they’re invading Baghdad. And a former elected official tried to block them. The government is declaring war on its own people.

#QuickSidenote In 1995, former Timex Social Club’s Mike Marshall was the featured singer on “I Got 5 On It,” by Oakland rap duo Luniz. The weed anthem was a Worldwide rap crossover hit, and earned the duo their US #OneHitWonder honors. #Luniz #OneHitWondered

Here's my weekly must-reads list, a frontline dispatch from a D.C. organizer, and my final thoughts for the week. One thing I took away from my exchange with Shannon Clark, a mutual aid organizer in D.C., is that "having great networks already in place" has been crucial. Let's all take note.

We asked people who experienced "sweeps" of homeless encampments to write about it in their own words. In Portland, Teresa Stratton told us about how her husband’s ashes were taken in a removal:

Keurig-ass country

While masked agents were violently attacking a delivery worker this morning, bystanders repeatedly asked to see their badge numbers but they refused. Bystander: You guys are ruining this country, you know that, right? Agent: Liberals already ruined it.

NEW: Video shared with me from a bystander in DC shows multiple masked federal agents (at least one of whom appears to have an ICE badge) violently attacking and handcuffing a delivery worker in the street outside Bluestone Lane cafe near Logan Circle this morning. Please take care when watching.

say her name. keep her among us forever. i devoted an episode of my Black Girl Songbook podcast to Aretha Franklin. it’s one of the reasons we are NAACP Award nominated open.spotify.com/episode/4hyh...

Jasmine Crockett delivers passionate call for Texans to come together

The Bernie Bros are MAGA people that like to smoke weed. That’s the only difference.

One thing I know for sure is that if *I* called the cops and said “some guy just threw a sandwich at me” they would consider me to be a huge baby and think I was wasting their time.

that summit could've been an email

Happy birthday to the great Angela Bassett.

This 10 month old post is aging well and may it continue so 🙏🏾📿

Where some of us see a vulgar, disgusting, oafish lout, others see a manly, Godlike hero. These perspectives cannot be reconciled.

Da Fuq!!! That's a woman!!! Dude has his knee on that woman's head!!!!!

she's back 😍

The fact that an indicted war criminal has been invited to the US to meet with the President to look at maps of the country he invaded tells you Putin has already won.

people tend to conceptualize slavery as something that happened at sites far away from most people, and as a discrete activity, rather than as an integrated part of a national economy and an important source of wealth and value. the closest analogue is something like homeownership.

A movie starring Ice Cube that is poorly written and poorly produced is the karma he deserves.

A court ruled that Bondi doesn't have the authority to assign a new DC police chief, removes her pick, and reinstated the existing chief. Bondi's shitty policies are also frozen. For the moment, we have some semblance of separation of powers. www-cbsnews-com.cdn.ampproject.org/v/s/www.cbsn...

For at least the second time, a Bluesky user caught a federal criminal case - this time for threats against ICE and Tom Homan. There are screenshots if you want to see which user. h/t @courtwatch.bsky.social storage.courtlistener.com/recap/gov.us...
