Be warned. Jan.6 will be a picnic of sorts, comparatively. Freedom 250 - the fundraising operation. They are organizing & have been since. ICE is the paramilitary arm of MAGA politics, and Trump is the commanding general. Bannon and the like are setting the strategies/tactics. History teaches.

I'm so lucky to work with the brilliant @jlussenhop.bsky.social and @propublica.org's crackerjack audio team. Please listen to this episode about April Wilkens, who was handed a life sentence for murder after she fought back against her abuser.

Seriously ? Yeah, serious. Well, look who is DONI .

Are you a fascist? I hope not.

And what will be in their goodie bags? Take a look.

For the hundreds of thousands of Haitians living in the US, the Supreme Court's decision to allow Trump to end temporary protected status is a matter of "life and death." “There is no safe place in Haiti.”

We need not one more piece of evidence to stand and demand the impeachment of the #SCOTUS6 and reform of the #SCOTUS to ensure that the kind of partisan, racist bias in decisions doesn't stand. There should be a provision that when bias is suspected, . . . 👇🏾

Just fed up with the petty, racist, misogynistic, hateful, and ignorant sewage that is floating through this country. F***ing algae is just one more piece of evidence that dumbing down the citizens empowers the wealthy and poor scum illiterates.

Let's see how the MAGA/GOP influencers, including business and Congress mangle this one.

As well as the stunning photojournalism—from Nan Goldin to Ken Light—that made Mother Jones.

American people for the most part have always gotten it wrong. Slavery and Jim Crow is "white history". Dr. Marian Croak is Black history.

I’ve been reporting on Christian nationalism for decades but God dared to discipline me with a ride down James Dobson’s three-story Jesus tube slide—that’s not a euphemism, you pervert, & yes I really did slide—and now here I am with my new podcast. Refunds available for all my previous books.

“Pro-life” House fascist republican Kat Cammack tried to hide her life threatening pregnancy complication in 2024 where she needed an abortion in order to survive. So abortion healthcare services are okay for them when they need it, but not everyone else? Evil hypocrites.

And without the weapons inspections in the JCPOA Iran started enriching uranium again ☢️ Thanks to Donald J Trump and his burning jealousy of President Obama, Iran now has over a ton of highly enriched uranium which THEY DID NOT HAVE UNTIL TRUMP WITHDREW FROM THE JCPOA ❗️

Trump sought to make his mark on Washington by turning the White House into a grotesque construction site: a dream ballroom, absurd arche, and the Lincoln Memorial Reflecting Pool covered with algae thanks to contracts awarded to his corrupted and incompetent cronies. #ProudBlue #DV1

A woman who's an advocate from Minnesota was run over yesterday at Delaney Hall in New Jersey. Protesters were honoring the fathers imprisoned there. Those who witnessed the attack say that the vehicle belongs to a security guard at the facility. Talk about #ICELawlessness with everyone you know!

"A Mississippi farmer who paid higher wages and favoured white South African guest workers has been taken to court by five black American workers alleging a pattern of racial and citizenship-based discrimination and 'wage theft'."

We are fully surrounded by criminals who protect criminals in order to protect themselves.

JD Vance wants you to have more kids. The data says fathers can't even afford to take leave for the ones they have. A new report describes the state of fatherhood in 2026. Oh yes, happy Father's Day.

And to every single mom doing double duty, I see & celebrate you too. This day belongs to you as well www.qasimrashid.com/p/happy-fath...

A ‘Song For My Father’ Horace Silver’s tribute to his father has become a jazz standard covered by scores of artists.

"Chattel slavery stole people’s families, intellectual creations, land, access to resources, and, for some, spiritual foundations."

Imo it is more a 19th century Calhoun Jacksonian view that promise simply does not and was never meant to apply to people who aren’t white men, but Greg is correct that view is more unpopular than it may seem at times bsky.app/profile/greg...

The JCPOA was completed by Obama, but the negotiations began under Clinton. It wasn’t a deal between the US & Iran. It was 10 years of negotiation between the world & Iran. And it was WORKING, without causing economic chaos & global instability. TACO ripped it up for two reasons: 1) his hatred

Dismantling public education so Americans will be in need if more private schools. This is part of many decades of the GOP "dumbing down of America" campaign. Until the 1940s high school was unavailable 2 Blacks & brown children in most South states. Parents sent their kids to private institutions.

A bridge which would be the biggest border crossing in Canada & one of the most important routes for trade in the entire world, except Donald Trump refuses to open it. I'm sure it's just a coincidence that the family that owns a competing bridge gave a large amount of money to Trump's super PAC.
