Watched a very bad quality but very interesting documentary about a white reporter that reported on civil rights cases in Mississippi- Bill Minor. The documentary talks about the case of Willie McGee, a black man accused of taping a white woman, was found guilty-

The Hennepin County Attorney’s Office said ICE agent Christian Castro fired through the front door of a duplex, striking Julio Sosa-Celis in the leg while people, including children, were inside the home.

I don’t think they’ll see any more of this money than any of us will. It will go to the big guns nobody else and all the rest will go to trump. This is his personal slush fund and it’s a simple as that. The fact it won’t go to joe blow doesn’t make it better-

Shorter version: What the police say goes, and the police said they wanted Trump.

BREAKING: It's official. The Trump DOJ just confirmed the creation of a $1.776 billion slush fund that can be used to pay Trump allies who claim they've been wrongfully targeted by the Biden admin's ‘weaponization' — including, reportedly, Jan. 6 insurrectionists.

I watched an old frontline episode (as in from the 80s) about abortion and it featured several teens-

The efforts to find a racially neutral method to address racism is itself an affirmation of the conservative frame here too.

The VRA *has always* been there to stop racial vote dilution, not to give Black people some kind of bonus districts. The reason we have the VRA (especially the 1982 version) is because Southern white politicians reliably define the political parties in such a way as to make sure Black voters lose.

A shocking number of people are replying to my call to block Neil Gaiman with variations on "Wait, what did he do?" I guess some folks have been living under a rock, but it's never too late to wise up: archive.is/cr8Me

FYI, Neil Gaiman appears to be lurking around Bsky again All are encouraged to block: bsky.app/profile/neil...

Everyone involved in posting this should be fired and everyone in the chain of command whose office is subject to impeachment, including the president, should be impeached. Just for this. I am not kidding in the least, and Democrats who let this go by without comment are putting us all in danger.

Welp it was a fun run #DetroitPistons gang but that's a wrap. #NewYorkKnicks please put old flop master Harden out to pasture.

On Fri night, Brooklyn court staff forced a woman to give birth inside the courtroom. Per public defenders, she gave birth in handcuffs, unable to reposition herself, unable to pick up her infant. The men who’d shackled her looked on. The judge lauded the birth of a ‘beautiful baby’ on the record.

There is a gofundme linked in this story. They need money to pay for their education www.gofundme.com/f/help-max-a...

Do the pistons know this is game 7???

I kee hearing Eminem over and over again—A DETROIT TEAM MUST BE IN THE PLAYOFFS!!!!

On this anniversary day if brown v board of education being released.

There is no tit for tat. There is a well organized centuries old brigade of segregationists that have a developed ideology that they use multiple tactics to implement. And there is the rest of us- who have grossly miscalculated the virulence of white supremacy at least 40% of USians hold.

They’re not ever going to self soothe themselves into obeying the law, they’re simply going to change the law, and if they can’t change it, bend it into their own image.

People have already memory-holed how critical #TeslaTakeDown was. It was the earliest decentralized set of protests in the second term as early as Feb 2025 at a time when most people were shell-shocked and Dem leadership was cowering and capitulating. And it pushed Elon out of the WH.

Holy Christ I just swallowed a bee

The entire state of Louisiana voting against these racist white folks effectively trying to segregate the school system in Baton Rouge makes my heart happy. We not dead in Louisiana. We are not a lost cause.

What is happening here as well, is that many career scientists at e.g., NIAID are transitioned to Schedule P/C, meaning that they can be terminated at will. The purge across our scientific and public health institutions continues, as congress is completely asleep at the steering wheel.

FUCK BILL CASSIDY. WE DID IT, LOUISIANA!!!! WE DID IT!!!

Is there a chance in the devils hell on earth a D could win this?

What’s your favorite most satisfying type of puzzle to put together. I am talking about jigsaw puzzles but if you are thinking about other puzzles, plz share!

You may remember during DOGE chainsawing USAID early on they said they wouldn't kill PEPFAR. Not true. Massive cuts in funding and implementation details, and we're holding HIV meds hostage to African countries signing away mineral rights to the U.S.

I’m sorry but even the ones that don’t have maralago faces are ugly as hell. I have always thought that you could still be attractive and be a total dick, the trump camp is showing me how untrue this is.

Thousands are marching in Selma calling for a full restoration of the voting rights act.

I forgot to do my standard: If political prisoners around the world have formed study groups, including Kenyans illegally detained by British colonizers, you have zero excuses not to form study groups.

❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️

Election interference. The documented evidence of multi-election interference comes from this administration. Let’s stop fighting over if immigrants vote or not and direct all that energy at holding this admin and its people accountable.

So many baby grey ducks!!!

There's a major civil rights protest taking place in Selma, Alabama, right now in response to the SCOTUS decision that weakened the Voting Rights Act and the ongoing attack on Black Americans’ political power (video: defiancedispatch/IG)

“this Court has so perverted the VRA and the 15th Amendment that they serve almost the opposite of their intended function. These provisions were adopted for the…purpose of guaranteeing the political rights of African-Americans. After Callais…they function to limit black political power.”

I sucked on my straw 74 times today does that make me a naughty girl.

Oh yea I love that lol is autocorrecting to kkk on my phone that’s great keep doing your thing phone.

This is a great dive into just how corrupt Duffy’s privately-funded reality show is. prospect.org/2026/05/14/f...

Elon Musk cut aid that researchers estimate will kill 14 million people, mostly children, mostly Black and brown. Then he found time to complain about a Black woman in a movie. The existence of non-white people seems to be his problem.

This. Is. Spectacular! Easily one of the coolest uses of satellite imagery I have ever seen.

Why does disability policy matter? Medicaid is the program that pays for the home care services that allow disabled people — kids, adults, seniors — to live in their own homes, with their families, instead of being locked up in institutions. RFK Jr's attacks on home care are incredibly unpopular

Simply outrageous. Horrific to even imagine the horrible things we’re doing to generations of people.

This is outrageous. It’s just pure largesse for the president’s family, cronies, and street thugs. The corruption is mind-blowing.

Today is Nakba Day. You cannot understand what lies at the heart of conflict in the Middle East unless you understand what happened to 85% of Palestinians in 1948. Here Eugene Rogan explains how hundred of thousands ended up as homeless refugees in Gaza

Data centers are responsible for a 76% increase in the cost of electricity in the largest US grid www.bloomberg.com/news/article...

See this is where I get ‘these fucking hypocrites’ cuz if Kamala Harris was doing VIP snorkeling on taxpayer dime or 7 month shooting schedule wandering the US or smashing a part of the WH and not replacing it? Would we have heard the end of it? Would we EVER hear the end of it?

still not quite over the fact that i watched 15 year olds get sued for millions of dollars for downloading twelve songs and now we all have to accept AI slop because every tech company in the known universe decided that IP laws don't exist now that they're inconvenient for them

Holy. Fuck.
