CBP didn’t give her or anyone any water; she asked 3 times accg to other reports. CBP killed a 7yr old. “8 hours after the girl & her father were taken into custody, she began having seizures & her body temperature was measured at 105.7 degrees by emergency medical technicians. shorturl.at/d2OTJ

I honestly don't know what the Democrats are promising to do if they win in November (either in the House or Senate).

ta-nehisi on renee good, alex pretti, and the "culture war"

We are all drowning in a pool of systemic propaganda so I understand why the deaths of Renee Good and Alex Pretti feel esp shocking and I think it is important to do the internal work of asking yourself, if this applies to you, why the deaths of immigrants/Black folks don't shock in the same way

I know you all love The Fartlantic today because of that one article but please try to remember that they played an instrumental role in the rise of fascism in the US and you do not, in fact, have to hand it to them.

Nekima Armstrong's gofundme for her legal defense only got $2646 so far, so please spread the word: www.gofundme.com/f/support-ne...

Marimar Martinez was the first US citizen shot by ICE. They claimed she was a terrorist. Said she was brandishing a weapon. They lied. Video footage exonerated her and showed the ICE agent shot her five times. He bragged to other agents “five shots, 7 holes”. A 🧵 of ICE abuse

Remember when our nurses were heroes.? Remember when we honored people who took care of vets ? They just shot someone who probably was there to take care of people Welcome to America where we “look for the helpers” To shoot them I hope he knew how much he was loved

People already working hard to prove how perfect Alex Pretti was. To show he didn't "deserve" to be killed. But it's a trap folks. You're only feeding into a dynamic where people who are considered lesser get no protection. You don't have to be an Alex Pretti to deserve to live.

“The evils of capitalism are as real as the evils of militarism and racism. The problems of racial injustice and economic injustice cannot be solved without a radical redistribution of political and economic power.” ~ Martin Luther King, Jr. Speech to the SCLC March 30, 1967

Nothing left to lose.

“Every political victory is a choice” . And this man has chosen to go to work.

Best TikTok thing going is the two dudes trying food from every country without leaving NYC. If you haven’t seen them yet, it’s incredible. My favorite so far is last week’s. Legit got me emotional.

One hundred thousand people a year and y'all using past tense when you talk about Covid now jfc

there are good people in the world ~sniff~

We had this, it was called 18F and you gutted it in the name of cost savings and being "anti-woke". www.nextgov.com/people/2025/...

I know "Die Hard" is y'all's favorite Christmas movie but there's another film that has a lot of elements of "Die Hard" PLUS a much more involved Christmas message and musings on the "invisibility" of homelessness. This Christmas, check out "Tokyo Godfathers." www.tokyoweekender.com/entertainmen...

What a great piece! This just gets better and better as you read. prospect.org/2025/12/11/s...

Anti-Black hate crimes accounted for a majority of reported incidents in 2024 at 51%, according to an L.A County commission report. https://www.latimes.com/california/story/2025-12-04/hate-crimes-la-county-report?utm_medium=social&utm_source=bluesky_ 

ICE raided a James Beard award winning restaurant & because the chef/owner was prepared, left emptyhanded:

I named my fists Chekhov and Gun because you know they're coming but you don't know when

Not much to say about Trans Day of Remembrance anymore besides “try loving and celebrating us while we are alive”

Angels really do walk among us

I don’t want to seem out of touch but I don’t actually understand the economy anymore.

While you are looking at Dodgers post, wanted to pass along a link to www.1degree.org. If you are in LA County, the Bay area, Summit County Co, Gainesville, Detroit, Southwest NM, or NYC - One Degree will geolocate you to the nearest food pantry or any other resources you may need.

Sharing for awareness: For those able and willing to help, the Embassy of Jamaica in DC is coordinating disaster relief in the U.S. They have asked folks to reach out to them at [email protected] to coordinate support. The government has info on donations supportjamaica.gov.jm

the way they're banging on stuff to make it as NOT silent as possible 😭

I called this segregationist way back in February: www.washingtonpost.com/opinions/202...

this iconic advertising copywriter named Kathy Hepinstall Parks died over the weekend and I wanted to share something from her website I thought Bluesky would like

“Sweep” now literally means sweep up and arrest EVERYONE IN SIGHT. No due process, just ppl at a park. I deeply hope Ms. Plummer sues TF out of these creeps. www.latimes.com/socal/daily-...

Mayor Karen Bass just told me that there was a kids summer camp in MacArthur Park when the federal agents in camp and long guns swooped in and they had to be brought inside so they didn’t get completely freaked out.

“When you look at the long arc of history and America’s reaction to the request for Black liberation – every time Black people try to use a phrase or coin a phrase that symbolizes our desire for liberation, it will eventually become a cuss word to white people” #woke @legaldefensefund.bsky.social

gotta say, Brad Lander's really walked the walk in these past weeks and it's not something I'll soon forget

As soon as the stats on early polling dropped I had a feeling Mamdani had it. Dems win when they turn young people and unengaged voters. He respected the vote instead expecting it. Would love to see more of that. www.nytimes.com/2025/06/24/n...

#ResistanceUnited "Talent is evenly distributed across populations, but opportunity is not." A statement that succinctly sums up why DEI is essential. This NEJM article explains the negative impact on our healthcare system of dismantling DEI programs. www.nejm.org/doi/full/10....

Any radically progressive platform that doesn’t even mention race based discrimination while this administration is currently dismantling civil rights protection, isn’t truly progressive, let alone radical. We really can’t be doing this 2010’s dance ya’ll.

Hey y’all, I’ve been thinking about how fast things changed for all Latiné people in LA. And what I’ve personally done to protect myself and my family. I thought it might be helpful for some of you so thought I’d share. 🧵

A civil rights movement is when you're very civil and so then they let you have rights.

Not cleaning up CBP/ICE after four years of repeat bullshit was a depraved act of willful blindness by the Biden administration. None of this behavior is surprising or new.

If you've been trying to put words to why all the "big tent" talk about "winning the middle" to defeat fascism that's coming from allegedly moderate alleged pragmatists seems like such wrong-minded nonsense, well I wrote all about that. www.the-reframe.com/winning-the-...

Jonathan Joss--voice actor of John Redcorn from King of the Hill, and Ken Hotate from Parks and Rec--was killed in a homophobic hate crime today. I'm so angry.

A visual analysis shows the U.S. likely bombed a migrant detention center in Yemen on April 28. At least three U.S.-made GBU-39 bombs at the site of the attack, which killed 68 African migrants, according to the Houthis, a militant group that controls northern Yemen.

It is really bothering me (understatement) that the message is “bring back that one innocent guy” and not “WHAT THE ACTUAL FUCK SHUT DOWN THIS WHOLE OPERATION IMMEDIATELY.”
