We can't fall into right-wing populism’s lie that the most vulnerable in society are to blame for wealth inequality in our countries. We need to build movements that tell the truth: the story of wealth inequality is not a cultural one, but a class one.

I miss when you could post Brave Norman Rockwell Townsperson and the caption could be, like, “R.E.M was wrong to leave ‘Fretless’ off of Out of Time” instead of “The secret police should stop murdering people.”

None of this is normal

Will it be national news? Will it cause performative outrage? Will he be censured? Nope. Forgotten by tomorrow.

Massie: "Donald Trump told us that even though he had dinner with these people in NYC and West Palm Beach, that he would be transparent. But he's not. He's still in with the Epstein class. This is the Epstein administration."

This is what ICE does every day. Hunt little kids who are here legally. They get sent to a place called the “baby jail” in Texas. Very little of it ends up on video like this. But it’s routine. And disgusting.

I just heard someone say on TV that use of the term "concentration camps" to describe ICE facilities was "very strong language." I think ICE's concentration camps are very strong abuses of human rights.

If those who claim the authority of law do not obey the law, and the law does not stop them, then they do not have the authority of law, because there is no longer any law.

Oh so this is what NYT called "friendlier tone"

ICE using the same ruse that Ted Bundy used to kidnap people should tell you something.

There are far more voters than ICE agents. People should plan to stay at their polling place all day. Make it a party. Meet your neighbors. Talk politics. Gather food trucks. Make it a safe place for voters who are nervous. ICE agents always back off when they are outnumbered.

The President of the United States raped underage women. Attorney General Pam Bondi has seen the proof in the Epstein files and doesn't care. Thank you for your attention to this matter.

AOC: "Extreme level of wealth inequality leads to social instability and drives authoritarianism, right-wing populism, and really dangerous domestic internal politics. That is a direct outcome of the failure of democracies over decades to deliver."

MAHA: Eating a giant steak cooked in butter alongside beef tallow fries and washing it down with coffee spiked with butter Not MAHA: Clean air, clean water, health insurance, vaccines, disease monitoring, scientific research, food assistance, food safety, bike lanes

If only we could charge people with lying to Congress! If only we knew how!

The Department of Just Us Or The Department of Just Ice Both work, unfortunately.

More Americans need to remember that every time these Klansmen go around "investigating" artists for doing a performance well within the First Amendment rights because it wasn't white enough, YOU are paying for the efforts they take instead of healthcare, infrastructure, etc. with your taxes.

They're building concentration camps with my tax money Chuck. They're torturing children. They're murdering innocent people on the street. What are you doing.

You couldn’t pay me to travel to the US right now. Especially with my posting history!

I've said it before, I will probably say it again: It is never for the children.

Benito is a threat b/c he makes art so alluring and enjoyable you want to understand everything about it and then you end up learning about sugar and slavery and colonialism and the Taínos and Hawaii and then you probably have some thoughts of your own, and that's why art is powerful and dangerous

wow, Donald Trump really rethinking his meeting with those three witches

Man. I am so blessed to have been born a Latina.

FAMU can't use the word Black on anything posted around campus related to Black History Month, to stay in compliance with Florida state laws against DEI. Black students can't use the word Black at their Historically Black College during Black History Month.

I've written about the overarching post story, causes, underlying pattern. But the failure of Lewis or Bezos to even show up, literally or figuratively, on a day of devastating cuts epitomizes the profound lack of character and accountability that is so common place today within the American elite.

Alberto Castañeda Mondragón was hospitalized with eight skull fractures and five life-threatening brain hemorrhages. Officers claimed he ran into a wall, but medical staff doubted that account. n.pr/4bHoZDU

NYT confirming MS NOW reporting: Prosecutors began investigating Renee Good's killing, then Washington told them to stop. Federal prosecutors had a warrant to collect evidence from Good's vehicle, but Trump leaders said to drop it. About a dozen prosecutors have since departed.

My publisher does have my books available as MMPBs BUT you can't get them through commercial retailers. When I hand sell them at conventions, they do incredibly well. I know a substantial number of readers like the bigger books for nicer bookshelves. There is still an audience (like me) for these

Four state-level right to read bills are on deck right now. Here's what they are, why one of them is not being actively endorsed, and how you can get involved. The teen letters here are outstanding, too. That, plus a deeply frustrating roundup of book censorship news: bookriot.com/freedom-to-r...

I feel like Los Angeles is a place where people expect ICE to happen because the kidnappings have been happening to my home city for decades, so there’s less media attention to it now. and I want folks to see that in LA, Latine students are organizing major protests & the police are attacking them

AWFUL news tonight. This blesses the “mandatory” detention in the 5th Circuit without bond (and little chance at habeas) of every undocumented immigrant who originally entered across the border, no matter how many decades in the past. It will fuel ICE’s push to transfer people to Texas immediately.

This is a very, very bad decision from one of the two Reagan judges left on the Fifth Circuit, joined by one of the two most extreme Trump appointees on the court. And, it is about the issue I walked through at Law Dork earlier this week, in the context of Minnesota: www.lawdork.com/i/186796727/...

Donald Trump and Republicans forced the ACA tax credits to expire, causing health care premiums to double and families to drop coverage altogether.

Epstein survivor Anouska De Georgiou: The fact that the very people who are meant to lead this country have completely retraumatized us… it’s—I mean—it’s like being raped by the Department of Justice.

Obviously the way police treat people is the most problematic but if the dog-loving American public actually knew how many dogs cops kill I think you’d see ACAB become the modal belief

The Washington Post just laid off its entire award-winning photo team. They were our eyes in places we'll never see. It's a horrifying loss at a time when lying governments, propaganda and AI slop are on the rise.

On behalf of the American public: Please boo these assholes. Please.

The public made noise for Liam Ramos and it got him released from Dilley. Now we must make noise for 7 year old Diana Crespo. Her parents were taking her for emergency medical care when ICE grabbed them, and she’s rotting in the camp sick and exposed to measles. Get them out!
