he made racists feel comfortable being openly bigoted and it was enough for them.

It's true, though. It's like this: White people: You can't join our clubs and organizations. You can't come to our churches and schools. You stay over there! Black people: Ok. *stays over there, creates their own institutions* White people: WHY DO THEY HAVE THEIR OWN ORGANIZATIONS?

How much more in your face can it be? "Why are you asking me for my paperwork?" "Because of your accent." "You have an accent too." "Where were you born sir?" "Where were you born at?" "Put your hands behind your back."

RFK Jr is doing a modern-day Tuskegee study, where by he uses taxpayer money to intentionality infect African children with Hepatitis B and deny them treatment. You know, just to see what happens newrepublic.com/post/205330/...

Infuriating! Also explains why people are easily duped. "...majority of Gen Z parents are not reading aloud to their young children because they view it as a chore. Many college students cannot make it through an entire book." theconversation.com/deep-reading...

Happy birthday to the legend, Muhammad Ali! A champion in and outside of the ring, Ali used his platform to advocate against racism and injustice. His determination and courage will forever be an inspiration to us all. Today we celebrate him and his undeniable legacy!

This still cracks me up 🤣 Betty White doing a tribute to Queen Latifah.

I love this wholesome song about bumper-to-bumper traffic...

Trump is selling pardons every week to people who pay $1-2 million to his PAC and is approaching 2,000 corrupt and disgusting pardons less than a year into his term, but yeah “no one is above the law.”

I'm just blown away at how much the average American has taken for granted. Just floored at how nonchalant they were about voting for the "vibes" and "concepts of a plan" guy. Society hangs in the balance and people are just barely aware of what they stand to lose at this very moment.

wherever people are in pain or anguish, or have been victimized by politics or policy, the New York Times will dispatch four reporters to find someone to say, "well thing is, they probably deserved it" while being posed for photos

“Whites, it must frankly be said, are not putting in a similar mass effort to reeducate themselves out of their racial ignorance. It is an aspect of their sense of superiority that the white people of America believe they have so little to learn.” —Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr.

If someone out there that's Black believed the "she's not Black" narrative that was started by a bunch of white leftists just admit you're a sellout.

Not hate for the Holler here. Generally speaking, I’m sick of the “imagine if Obama/biden did this” statements. The GOP are only critical, and only believe in democracy, when it suits them. They are incapable of thinking outside of their “team.” It’s a waste of breath to make this point repeatedly

They’re gassing the populace with toxins and apparently its spreading across the city, y’all. This is vile. Those who are there, please stay safe

ICE agents love to wave around paper that looks official. Most of it is a scam — administrative forms signed by ICE supervisors, not real judicial warrants signed by judges. Let's go through what that scam paper looks like versus a real judicial warrant.

For people outside Minneapolis: North is the historically Black part of the city. It's been heavily disinvested from, gutted by the 2008 mortgage crisis, and got hit by a tornado which did damage you can still see from aerial photos. It's no mistake ICE is going after more vulnerable populations.

I just want it to be really clear, to people from out of the area, if they see pictures of fires in Minneapolis: THEY WERE STARTED BY ICE. NOT BY PROTESTERS. NOT BY RESIDENTS.

GOP lawmaker said trans people “harm” children. Now he’s going to prison for child porn.

The insult added to injury is that the most productive parts of the country are being forced to finance their own occupation and brutalization.

Just a little update: Lawrence O'Donnell reports that China is now enjoying a record-setting trade surplus ($1.2 trillion) after the Mango Menace imposed his dumb-ass tariffs. China is, indeed, eating our lunch.

“3 flash bangs at my car. ICE knew we were trying to leave. My 6 month old can’t breathe.” Trump’s goons terrorize a Black family in Minneapolis, to the point where EMT’s have to come help his child get away from the gas and chaotic dangerous scene (H/T @thejfreakinc.bsky.social )

Non-protesting dad just trying to hustle his kids, as young as 6mo, out of the neighborhood. ICE threw a flash-bang INTO HIS car, all 6 kids in the hospital now. If anyone wondered how things turn against occupying armies there's a case study playing out in front of you.

I know people on Bsky know this but I hope it filters out: The feds are OCCUPYING the Twin Cities. This is a blockade, a siege. They are shutting down economic and civic activity. They are conducting "papers please" stops. They are criminalizing being a bystander/witness. You could be next.

Rep. Espaillat: 32 people died under DHS custody in 2025. Already, 4 people have died in 2026, along widespread reports of sexual abuse, medical neglect, and inhumane conditions.

Republicans are courting open war with Europe. People who refused to vote for a smart, qualified Black woman and instead helped people who *want* the apocalypse did this.

Dunno, extortion seems pretty inelegant to me.

If you cannot make “these people are leaving BABIES in CARS in WINTER and then returning them to their carekeepers with BRUISES” into popular sentiment as a politician, you’re either inept or you want this to keep happening.

BREAKING: Senate Republicans just blocked an extension of the ACA tax credits. AGAIN. This legislation passed the House with BIPARTISAN support. Republicans are playing games while your health care premiums more than double.
