Having grown up in Cole Harbour, right next to Cherrybrook-Preston (one of the oldest Black Loyalist settlements in Canada), I learned about Africville and the racist, degrading actions of my city's council of the day. Driving past Seaview now still makes me sad for the loss of that community.

Not a safe place to visit, either.

CNN hit back at a conservative guest Wednesday as it met his accusations that left-wing rhetoric was sparking violent incidents with a brutal supercut of President Donald Trump's most incendiary attacks.

WATCH: @Gutfeldfox insists to @jessicatarlov.bsky.social right-wing violence isn’t a thing — despite all evidence to the contrary. Just ask Grok, CATO, previous DOJ data, etc. (Ironically, Greg professes to be an expert on “brainwashing” — also: isn’t he doing exactly what Kimmel was accused of?)

JD Vance said yesterday the Dallas ICE facility shooter was a “violent left-wing extremist.” No evidence backs that up. But then I remembered Vance admitted in 2024 that to help the GOP: "If I have to create stories so that the American media actually pays attention...that's what I'm going to do."

Speaking of voices under attack…can we be just as loud about Black journalists and comedians who are silenced, even by our so-called liberal outlets. • Joy Reid • Don Lemon • Melissa Harris-Perry • Tiffany Cross • Jemele Hill • Marc Lamont Hill • Karen Attiah • Amber Ruffin

If you think that adults taking Tylenol hurt kids, just wait until you read what the adults in the Epstein Files were doing to them.

Have a great day, all!

Weird. I thought these were the folks who despised "removing history" and were quite fond of celebrating and honouring losers. 🤔

Yes. This.

Georgia’s senators want answers from DHS Secretary Kristi Noem on why detainees are dying at the highest rate ever recorded. 10 in the first 6 months, 15 total, after Noem cut oversight positions focused on civil rights. Humanity is not optional, no matter what your views are.

Reminds me of how the Koch brothers funded the “grass roots” tea party.

These people are so unhinged, yet it’s the left that needs to “tone down the rhetoric” 🙄

🤣🤣🤣

The devil looks a lot like a twink Stephen Miller. Just saying.

Just....lol wow.

An important read for my fellow mayo sapiens in particular.

800 detainees are missing after being held in Alligator Alcatraz in July, showing no record of their location in ICE’s database. Other detainees have been mistakenly deported or sent to detention centers thousands of miles away. The cruelty is the point.

It’s critical that we support the arts…🏆

“I’ve worked for this health department for about 18 years, and we’ve never seen a case of measles that I know of up until this point. We are just at that low rate of (vaccine) uptake that does leave us open for this kind of an outbreak.”

This is abhorrent. This is America.

OLIVER: “In Russia, when Putin rose to power, TV satirists were among his first targets… Putin was driven to madness by how he was mocked on a puppet show… the lesson is it’s not safe to let one show slide because there are currently others.”

This ought to be engraved somewhere.

Can someone remind me who the last member of our armed services who sacrificed their life for this country...who was given a memorial service by someone...like the one today? In all of the hoopla....I have forgotten.

IRS filings show the Wayne Duddlesten Foundation was Turning Point USA’s largest direct donor, surpassing contributions from foundations linked to billionaires like Bernie Marcus, Charles Johnson and Jimmy John Liautaud.

People can try to whitewash a guy's history all they want but when that person had hours upon hours of video content, the content will speak for itself...forever.

The 4th admendment protects you from unreasonable searches and seizures. Police need a warrant based on probable cause to search you or your property. The supreme court changed its application in immigration enforcement today... The door is now open to racial profiling.

It's even worse than I thought. The Justice Department's public integrity section is down to just *two people*, @josepagliery.bsky.social reports. www.notus.org/courts/doj-p...

Good options: *BBC News / BBC World Service *Deutsche Welle (DW News) *France 24 *Al Jazeera *The Associated Press (although U.S.-based...it operates globally and is widely regarded as a fact/reporting wire service more than opinion.) *Radio Free Europe / Radio Liberty *CBC News (Canada)

Congress shall make no law respecting an establishment of religion, or prohibiting the free exercise thereof; or abridging the freedom of speech, or of the press; or the right of the people peaceably to assemble, and to petition the Government for a redress of grievances. --First Amendment, USA

This is America.

Official documents suggest that I am a half century old, but my sense of ha-ha suggests that I am a 12 year old boy.

Cheering what soldiers? As a Tennessee journalist who has been monitoring these developments, I can tell you the Guard has not yet been deployed!

This… 👇🏼

Well said.

This is a great (and timely) guide, because things are stressful, to say the least.

One of my favorite moments in the history of free speech: Larry Flynt publishing a satirical Campari ad featuring Jerry Falwell Sr. as an incestuous drunk who first had sex with his mother in an outhouse. Falwell sued. In a unanimous decision, the Supreme Court found that satire is protected speech.

Remember that MLK said America suffers not just from "the vitriolic words and actions of the bad people but for the appalling silence of the good people."

NEW: Air Force jets are doing ICE flights to Africa with transponders turned off, making them nearly un-trackable. This includes the third-country removal to Ghana and another secret flight. We figured out where it landed. From me for @rollingstone.com: www.rollingstone.com/politics/pol...
