July’s crowdfund is $1500. I am starting this campaign now, so I have plenty time and space to gain traction. I’m still trying to get back on SNAP. Looking for a day job. All info below: CA: cash.app/$itsdopegirl... VM: venmo.com/u/dopegirlfr... PP/ ZLL: sayheylenee at gmail

lol Henry Kane referring to Ghana as one of "these TYPES of nations" reeks of the British Empire. *LAUGHS HEARTILY IN KWAME NKRUMAH*

A DEA agent in New Mexico gets upset they’re not busting low level street dealers and it’s now an entire thing with the imprimatur of the Associated Press.

Both anti-ICE protesters at Prairieland and Stop Cop City indictments were credited as part of the NSPM-7 initiative, an effort to prosecute civil disobedience and protest-related petty offenses as domestic terrorism. One Texas protester received 30 years for moving a box of antifascist zines.

#Barbados’s prime minister, Mia Mottley, has announced a new manifesto from Caribbean leaders asserting the “moral, ethical and legal case” for #reparations over damage caused by hundreds of years of #enslavement. www.theguardian.com/news/2026/ju...

Pre-1960 the southern most NFL franchise was in Washington, the same team forced to integrate by the Federal government.

By me the food lion one doesn’t yell. However if you are standing in their parking lot you can hear the one from the CVS across the street that does yell.

Family members of US soldiers wounded in Iran were reportedly told by military personnel their loved ones only sustained 'minor injuries.' Several families have said this was not true, and their loved ones were actually suffering severe shrapnel wounds and traumatic brain injuries.

I might have mentioned it on here before, but this is why, when I worked retail in DC decades ago, my boss, who was African American, was a rabid Cowboys fan and named his kids Dallas and Austin.

Everything RFKJr has to say about health is actually appropriated hippy culture

This is a big part of why you find so many Black Dallas Cowboys fans in Washington DC as they’d often draft or sign players from HBCUs.

They put these in the parking lots of every grocery store opened in or near working-class or poor communities.

It’s funny because Mamdani gets treated as an obvious terrorist sleeper cell while open allies of this guy and his movement get “my good friends across the aisle”

Yeah this gets at the general dynamic of sports writers declaring players to be smart when you have to understand 90% of their interactions are with other people monomaniacally obsessed with their particular sport.

It's why I side-eye even the well intentioned people who actually use "woke" in that kind of discourse. Participating in the bastardization of a term meant for a very specific phenomenon is not exactly something that sits well with me, regardless of the intent behind the person using it.

"Jackson told host Rick Rubin that he had not watched NBA basketball since the 2020 pandemic ...He said that having phrases like “Justice” and “Equal Opportunity” on the back of players’ jerseys instead of their last names was a sign of “catering.” Fact that he told this to Rick Rubin is 👨‍🍳💋

The man said he stopped watching basketball because they had “end racism” or something like that printed on the court, Phil Jackson!

Natural endpoint of the entire paternalistic approach taken with the entrenchment of the “if you’re in line, stay in line” approach

Him and Phil Jackson are classic examples.

Another good example of the dishonesty re Blackness I’m always referring to, institutional actors decide they hate racism and/or “identity politics,” very instrumentally.

Take the slice with three pepperonis, and eat until there aren’t anymore pepperonis, taking two bites of the crust, throwing the pepperoni-less cheese-covered portions in the trash.

(This is also true of many, if not most, people who look like hippies)

I don’t think anyone is being particularly honest about the complicated relationship to Blackness that the popular movements associated with their politics have.

I hope *everyone* on my skyline gets a chance to watch this. 🥚

Also, with respect to the student movement for Palestine. If anything, what we see in the failure of most divestment demands---alongside a complete restructuring of the Israel-Palestine issue in electoral politics---is that universities are fundamentally anti-democratic organizations.

"Filter reached 11 currently incarcerated people who went to trial. Their plea offers averaged 17 years. Ten are now serving life sentences."

Lmaooo

The sad but honest truth is rap absolutely needed Rick Rubin figures in the early stages to begin to be taken seriously as an art form, unfortunately.

Not married, but I can’t relate to half the stuff people are talking about, so I keep it to myself.

“The officers confirmed in their own statement that they had seen the “juvenile” — they knew a baby was in that car. The way these small towns operate, we may never see the footage. But I don’t have to. If diapers were stolen, they were needed. A cop shot and killed a baby. Period.”

People also love to say defund the police was a failure because every city in the country did not immediately cut police budgets. Social movement outcomes have a long time horizon and may not always show up in the exact demands the movement made

This was always the likeliest outcome from a leadership set that convinced itself that Trump’s election represented a new normal, where they hesitated before opposing things like sending people to a torture camp in El Salvador.

It is *absolutely* relevant, when we consider that the most powerful players, like Andreessen Horowitz, *hire people who kill unarmed civilians around them*.

“One passenger said Green had a knife. But other witnesses saw only one weapon, a .45 Colt revolver pistol, as the driver shot Green in the chest at point-blank range. And after a brief inquest the next day, no charges were brought against Lachney.”

Of a long list of hideous anti-asylum policies Labour has implemented, it's one in one out policy is one of the worst, with tough competition. It's dramatically undermined trafficking and modern slavery protections in a way the previous government only dreamed of. www.theguardian.com/uk-news/2026...

In Ottawa, the police chief had to make a 7-minute video telling officers to stop using databases and surveillance tools to look up women they found attractive out in the world. This is a major problem *everywhere* and one that has only gotten worse as police have gotten access to more technology.

the state of Republican campaigning on the other site:

this is a great illustration of one of the fundamental insights of democracy — that there is no such thing as "the people" and that majorities are elusive and ever shifting. no election, no decision, is final and treating an election as a final decision is profoundly undemocratic.

“The searches targeted former NYPD Chief of Department Jeffrey Maddrey, who resigned in late 2024 amid allegations of sexual misconduct.”

They just spent like 100 billion dollars on losing a war in Iran.
