That's his achilles....damn

Trump and Netanyahu are determined to completely break the world.

Just as Iraq had no WMD, Iran has no nuclear weapons. America has entered another unnecessary war in the Middle East

illegal war started by a man constitutionally ineligible to be president

JUST NOW: Bernie tells the crowd about Trump attacking Iran, the crowd erupts into “NO MORE WAR!” chants Bernie calls the attack “grossly unconstitutional”

Appreciated the opportunity to share a few thoughts for this article.

Steph. Curry.

Unidentified men grabbing someone off the street and putting her in a car because she wrote an op-Ed. This as flatly authoritarian as anything we’ve seen in this country in a very long time.

So Gabbard and Ratcliffe purjured themselves yesterday, right?

These fools are cooked.

Shout out to Jeffrey Goldberg for reporting on this now instead of waiting two years to put it in a book.

my takeaway from reading this is that i have to assume that every half-competent intelligence agency in the world has an almost real-time glimpse into what the white house and the pentagon are doing

But, you know... DEI.

Columbia University has failed to defend academic freedom & freedom of speech & allowed a great institution to be bullied & extorted into submission by an administration hellbent on contorting higher education to their will. The AAUP condemns this capitulation. We can & must fight back.

This is an abject failure on the part of Columbia’s leadership to defend academic freedom and institutional integrity. It should lead to resignations.

We are in a very dangerous place. With more shameful moments to come.

The media can (and should) reject the Right's deceptive frame. This is not about "references to diversity, equity, and inclusion." It is a neosegregationist attempt to erase everyone but white males from the nation's history.

I’m not sure that the Trump Democrats strategy of letting the bully take their lunch money today in the hopes the bully will be nice to them tomorrow will be all that effective

Target is facing a 40-day consumer boycott starting Wednesday over the company’s shift away from diversity, equity and inclusion (DEI) policies.

This is it. 🎯

Yeah so the Constitution isn’t really in effect right now

Kendrick Lamar's smash hit "Not Like Us" has already won multiple Grammys.

"There's people that fit the culture and there's people that come in and add to the culture. And those are two distinct things. And I believe the people that we're coming in are adding to the culture." 👀 Luka revenge game is going to be a movie. 🍿

Black Lives Matter fundamentally broke these people’s brains. They couldn’t bear the idea that they might have to tell a different story about this country and thus tell a different story about themselves. They hated it, and now they are using everything they have to never feel that way again.

i think it is important to say that the open and explicit racism of the president and the vice president isn’t just uncouth or “controversial” but a direct attack on tens of millions of americans and a dereliction of their duty to represent the entire country

One of the best things you can do right now is read books. Buy them. Borrow them from the library. Gift them. Read history. Read fiction. Read science writing. Read anything that shows you the world is bigger than what fascists say it is. Read to remember why your resistance matters. 📚💙

The Air Force confirmed it has dropped a training video with the famed Tuskegee Airmen following Trump’s DEI crackdown

A modern-day "red scare." Not hyperbole to say that we are entering a period that will potentially be worse and have more lasting consequences than 1950s McCarthyism.

If you are a lawyer, you advocate to save democracy. If you are an elected rep you use legislative power to protect your country. If you are a journalist you write truth in the face of threats to democracy. If you are a faith leader, you do this. Everyone has a role. Stand upright in yours.

Just so we're clear, with his executive order Trump has reversed 60 years of federal affirmative action and civil rights policy dating back to LBJ and 1965 and weaponized the government to attack any major private institution that actively values equity and inclusion.

Must read🧵👇🏾

Musk comes from a family that moved to South Africa *for* the racism. He has repeatedly endorsed Great Replacement Theory in the US & Neo-Nazis of the AfD in Germany. He championed the rights of white nationalists and restored Nazi accounts to Twitter. But I'm sure the Nazi salute was an accident.

“Fascism, it’s always about using nationalism, and the nation, as a bludgeon to generate support for death policies, on behalf of death governments. For violence and repression and exploitation, internationalism is the antidote, always.” —Robin D. G. Kelley

My thoughts on Martin Luther King, Jr.'s radical labor politics and the times to come for my MLK Day piece for @truthout.org truthout.org/articles/as-...

Grifters... assemble!

As the Reverend Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. wisely said, "Our lives begin to end the day we become silent about things that matter." Today and every day, I pledge to never silence my voice in the fight for what is right, and I will continue to march in the path he forged toward justice.

My MLK day piece is up. open.substack.com/pub/sherrily...

This year MLK Day coincides with Inauguration Day. In this 2018 forum, Brandon M. Terry—with @keeanga.bsky.social, @elizabethkai.bsky.social, @ajdouglas.bsky.social, and others—discusses the substance of King’s commitments, and why his vision for a revolution in U.S. society remains unfinished.

The last survivors of the 1921 Tulsa race massacre said the Justice Department’s recent report “falls heartbreakingly short” and are still calling for reparative action

Long overdue.

Shared some thoughts on Biden's legacy on this @gbhnews.bsky.social roundtable.

The racism and sexism hurled at Karen Bass sadly illustrates why so many people found it impossible to vote for Kamala Harris. Black women do not fit the archetype of executive leadership and are thus subjected to unfair criticism and impossible standards.

Sobering but a reflection of many convos I've had in the last year: "I used to joke with colleagues that higher education is besieged on two fronts: by fascists on one side and neoliberals on the other. As we look ahead to a second Trump administration, these two threads appear ready to converge."

"If the Justice Department says the statute of limitations is a law, then there ought to be a campaign for new legislation that says, when the government has participated in political murder, this country will not allow a statute of limitation to prevent justice." - Rev. William Barber

There are families who will never be able to come back from this devastation, and many of them were in generational homes, passed down from people who bought homes in the 1970sand 80's in Altadena. All of the fires are a tragedy, but especially for those who don't have the resources to rebuild.
