#ResistanceRoots #NationalHispanicHeritageMonth Eight years before Brown v. Board of Education, there was Mendez v. Westminster. In that case, the Ninth Circuit ruled that the segregation of Mexican Americans in public schools violated the Fourteenth Amendment. /1

The only reason we don’t have Medicare for all is because “all” included Black people.

As long as white people are afraid to be uncomfortable & cling to comfort others can't afford at all costs, we're going to stay twiddling our thumbs & scratching our heads about why this American-bred fascism isn't budging.

BREAKING: A federal judge in Oregon just temporarily blocked Trump's deployment of 200 National Guard troops to Portland.

Under the Constitution, federal spending requires Congressional action through the appropriations process. If that is to mean anything, Trump must not be allowed to use a slush fund assembled from tariff revenues to do a farm bailout without Congress's affirmative say-so.

“We simply want justice for Jaylen,” the DiCello Levitt law firm said. “We feel the pain of his loss every day, and we are calling for accountability and change, so that what happened to Jaylen never happens again,” the DiCello Levitt law firm said.

Reading Rainbow emphasis is encouraging kids to read. The focus is not on teaching them to read. The mission is reading should be fun! We are all readers, worthy of literacy. LeVar Burton said “but you don’t have to take my word for it” because he wanted us to look to the books. That’s the beauty 💚

When Medicaid is for white people it’s “just helping folks in need.” When it’s for Black people, it’s welfare.

The reason a lot of white people can operate in the privilege of a comment like “we used to be able to have dissenting opinions & now they break friendships” is because the people of color in the room had to be silent in order to remain in the room safely.

New KFF poll: Americans want Congress to extend the expiring, enhanced Obamacare credits by a whopping margin of 78% to 22% — a remarkable political entrenchment for subsidies that were a heavy political lift for Democrats just a few years ago, per Politico.

He’s not saying it because he believes it. He’s saying it because saying it makes other people believe it and provides justification for killing/imprisoning Americans for political beliefs.

Not enough people watch American Greed and it shows.

The Vice President of the United States used his social media page to tell Joy Reid, a private citizen with no connection to the government, that she should express "gratitude" for how this country has treated her. Black women remain the most consistent targets in all of this.

As importantly, ICE should stop lying. It's unbelievable that we literally cannot trust anything ICE says after an incident like this. Not even the banal "we will investigate it" can be trusted. The base instinct in every situation is just to lie. Who is dictating this strategy?

by imprisoning people indefinitely away from their families in deplorable conditions and deporting them to foreign prisons or random countries. Desperate people in desperate spots can make stupid decisions like this guy did. But ICE shouldn't manufacture these situations either

ICE tried to grab him just after dropping off his two little kids at day care. There is no reason why this interaction needed to happen at all. ICE is taking officers away from people with criminal histories to target noncriminals, all while massively increasing the stakes...

DHS also said that these agents were well-trained professionals. But video obtained by the NY Times shows these bungling officers violated standard protocols by not telling him to turn his car off before putting their hands on the car & attempted to stop the moving vehicle

ICE initially claimed that the officer was "seriously injured" sustaining "severe injuries" and in "serious condition" but actual body cam footage of the ICE agents now shows that they LIED. The officer himself says it was "nothing major" via Chicago Sun Times: chicago.suntimes.com/the-watchdog...

ICE lied about the person it shot, claiming he was a "criminal," but NBC finds that he had no criminal history whatsoever. Not even traffic tickets in 12 years! It also lied about the extent of the injuries to its agents....

Nothing in ICE’s tweet contradicts anything in my thread. The guy had traffic violations from “years ago”. That does not make him a criminal. ICE does not even try to rebut the other facts bsky.app/profile/davi...

ICE says I cause assaults on ICE by reciting facts about ICE’s recent shooting but refuses to link to the thread. Only posting a picture. ICE lies and ICE hides. You can read the facts for yourselves

My favorite armchair comment is Americans don‘t understand authoritarianism, because so many of you don’t count Black people as Americans. Learn the history or shut up.

Capitulating once again.

ICE is running around Chicago harassing people for not being white. Just a year ago, that was illegal in the United States and now it’s commonplace. That’s not making America great again.

Yesterday I said this abt Russ Vought's plan to retaliate against Dems (I said this before the cuts to New Jersey commuters and states that include 40% Trump voters). Vought's attempt to attack Dems will make his illegal power grabs visible just like DOGE. www.emptywheel.net/2025/10/01/a...

“ABC7 spoke to Pertissue Fisher, a woman who lives in the building. She said ICE agents took everyone in the building, including her, and asked questions later….’They was bringing the kids down, too, had them zip tied to each other.’” It can’t happen here, you say. But it is happening.
