Hey guys- White nationalists have helped a white woman in Minnesota raise $300k after she was filmed calling a five-year-old Black child the n-word. The local NAACP chapter is fundraising for the boy and his family to get legal help. The least we could do is out-fundraise the nazis. Donate here:

Recently I taught on the need for radical imagination in this current moment. Imagination is Politucal Imagination is a powerful tool for shaping our understanding of the world and driving political action. Jesse Jackson once said, “Hope and imagination are weapons of survival”

Authoritarian rule is characterized by concentrated power in the hands of a single person or a small group, with minimal to no input from the people. It's often marked by political repression, suppression of dissent, and the use of force to maintain control Black folks have always lived under this

“Algumas pessoas decidiram olhar para os palestinos como se eles não fossem totalmente humanos. Porque se você pensa nos palestinos como totalmente humanos, você não consegue encontrar desculpas para esse tipo de assassinato em massa” Chimamanda Ngozi Adichie

This seems like a major escalation

Pope Francis’s "Urbi et Orbi" Easter speech: “How much contempt is stirred up at times towards the vulnerable, the marginalized and migrants...I appeal to all those in positions of political responsibility in our world not to yield to the logic of fear which only leads to isolation from others.”

For people in the journalism business, and for people in general, *this* is the killer detail in latest Hegseth-dereliction-of-duty report: That *four* people on the call were willing to talk about it! Congrats to the reporters. And most obvious dead-man-walking of cabinet members perhaps ever.

Personally, I think it should be front page news for at least a month if a sitting US President is using falsified evidence to try and deny due process to a man who has committed no crime, but that’s just me

I know I'm a filthy commie but can we abolish ICE now please

No, you can't just remove a university's tax-exempt status because you disagree with it politically -- Trump's move on Harvard will be challenged in court. And struck down. But sure, tell me more about how right-wingers are defenders of the First Amendment.

Mahmoud Khalil's new op-ed from detention— "Faced with a movement for divestment they couldn't crush, your trustees opted to set fire to the institution they're entrusted with…History will redeem us, while those who were content to wait on the sidelines will be forever remembered for their silence."

What a nightmare for parents and children. www.nydailynews.com/2025/04/05/n...

Correct.

"The report found that more civilians were killed in the first week of the Trump administration’s bombing campaign than were killed in the 12 months of US- UK strikes on Yemen that were conducted under the Biden administration from Jan 2024 to Jan 2025." The Signal chat was bad. This is worse:

Circling back on this…

GOP = goods over people

I can not say this enough. There is no safety in fascism. Do not count on any institution to hold. Count on people power to get us through. Count on love and community to help us make it to the other side of this moment in time

We talk about courage being contagious. It is. As scared as we've been, things are getting scarier. Which is when it's hardest to be courageous, because courage isn't fearlessness, it's being scared but doing the right thing any way. Hold the line & stand with each other. We're who's saving us.

I know this first hand. When I was a child, my entire community was branded as spies and sabateurs, justifying our internment inside barbed wire camps for years without due process, trial or charge.

And that time is now…👇 So, get OUT, get INVOLVED, and get LOUD! America. Isn’t. Gonna. Save. Itself. 🇺🇸✨

If you are a Southern California person upset about @schumer.senate.gov ‘s craven betrayal of our country, the theatre his book tour will be at on 3/23 is the Moss Theatre. Their phone number is 310-828-5582

This.

If only we could get the news media to shout this from the rooftops!

Never assume for the future that any politician will keep to any values that may have aligned with yours in the past. Politicians do not run on consistency or liberation. They run on profit. If they align, we leverage it, but we remain vigilant about all positions open to shifting at any moment.

Today on ContrabandCamp, Dr. Brigette Burpo –a professor & scholar on the intersection of race, gender & sports – explains why the people obsessed with trans athletes & legislating gender (and, by proxy, their humanity) don't really care about "protecting women."

Speak it into existence. ✨

Wow. Rep. Chuck Edwards is getting torn apart at a town hall in Asheville, NC. “I’m a veteran & you don’t give a fuck about me. You don’t get to do this to us!” Edwards orders veteran to be thrown out. We’re approaching a tipping point now. Anger across the country is going to boil over soon.

I want the t-shirts, the posters, the sepia prints, the velvet portrait, the trapper keepers, the lunch boxes, the I-phone covers. Rep @algreen.house.gov is an American patriot.

Diversity in ways to overthrow the system, Equity in opportunities for everyone to overthrow it, Inclusion of everyone in the dismantling, and Access to liberation for all.

This is unbelievable.

People should be calling this what it is, which is a crypto bailout. They're cutting cancer research so they can bailout rich, degenerate gamblers bsky.app/profile/ronf...

Officials at the FAA have directed staff to identify tens of millions of dollars to fund a Starlink deal for upgrading air traffic control communications. Staff has been instructed to find the funds while minimizing documentation and avoiding a paper trail.

"No Other Land," the Palestinian-Israeli made film showing the destruction of the occupied West Bank's Masafer Yatta by Israeli soldiers, just won the Oscar for Best Documentary. It can't get a distributor in the US. Which tells you everything about censorship in the US.

This is Marco Rubio explaining how the USA promised to defend Ukraine forever if they got rid of their nuclear arsenal left after the Soviet Union fell. This is why lil marco was sinking into the couch. He was hoping we wouldn’t find it…so don’t RT right now this very second.

It’s been a long day, but in short, bullies ain’t shit! I don’t care what title you hold! This isn’t some long gone reality tv show or failed casino; it is war! How dare a draft dodging dumb dupe humiliate an ally & berate a brave man who has actually been on a battlefield for his people?!

At last night's Liberal Leadership debate, Karina Gould promised to modernize Canada's safety net and put us on a path to basic income. "to ensure that every person in this country has a real viable opportunity for success."

As we stand against systemic injustice and state-sanctioned violence, let’s also take time to gather with friends and loved ones. Strengthen the bonds that hold you. The road ahead is long—let connection be your shelter and community its foundation.

Knowing this was coming doesn’t make it any better. F U K C.

Oh, look what normal countries do when a former president leads a far right coup attempt.

It is perfectly legal to know your rights and to educate others about them, too. EVERYONE in the United States, citizen or not, has rights. I will not allow this administration to intimidate us from helping you know about them. Here’s our shareable guide ⬇️: (pt. 1/2)
