The United States: A Brief History

Court-watchers confirm this cruel ICE agent has been reinstated. Last week, in the briefest moment of decency, violently throwing a woman to the floor was “beneath the men and women of ICE.” This week, it’s back to business as usual. The cruelty, after all, is the point.

The state could have backed him but instead they demonstrated for the thousandth time that there is no level of respectability that will prevent white people from serving you up on a platter in order to appease powerful racists.

“The Bluebonnet Learning materials…have been heavily critiqued for their lack of secularism. But at an additional $60 per student, the price of Christian-influenced learning may seem worth it to districts struggling under cost burdens.” www.dallasobserver.com/news/fort-wo...

I know eugenics is the name of their game but it's actually wild how they're damaging their rep with one of the Republicans most solid voting blocs, disabled people.

lmao. typical "He marched with MLK...what more do you blacks want?" at this point all i can do is laugh

While its good that so many people are contacting their reps and getting others to do so i think its worth mentioning that this headline and even the article itself is extremely misleading.

When “Law & Order” is too critical of law enforcement you’re kind of cartwheeling over the shark no?

Wait until she finds out that it's factual

You can not have probable cause to arrest a citizen for being unlawfully present in the United States. IOW, this is kidnapping, and felony assault, and battery, and deprivation of rights under color of law, and the sort of thing that IS probable cause to arrest and prosecute the people who did it.

Also like what he said was factual?

Hi! If I gave you a little heart but didnt repost your thing it's probably because you didn't use ALT text. Please ALT text your images so your posts are accessible to everyone.

This is why I say most political opinion in the US is based in anti-Blackness. And I’m not going to participate in that.

imagine being a consultant doctor here and having to go out litter picking to be given your citizenship lol www.bbc.co.uk/news/article...

I'm heartbroken to hear of the pedestrian death at Franklin & Cedar and the others across the metro this weekend. We need a Mayor who will invest in Traffic Calming measures. I secured $1M in funding last session to help, but there's more to do to achieve our Vision Zero goals.

I can understand that sentiment. But I’m saying outlets like NPR leverage this feeling to shield white folks from criticism to focus on Black folks. And that’s just bias. If Chappelle is guilty, and he is, so is Bill Burr.

And positing Saudi Arabia is somehow worse than the US when it comes to human rights is a laughable take. It would be very easy to make the premise there is no difference from performing there versus the US. So a lot of this noise about Saudi Arabia feels performative at best.

It’s interesting how articles like this never talk about the big name white comedians that are participating. If we’re gonna, let’s talk about everyone instead of using Black folks for clicks. Again.

there are almost certainly more people — more blue collar laborers, specifically — involved in the cultivation and production of chardonnay grapes and wine than in coal

If they believe this to be true, it seems like the sort of thing you lead with, not bury at the end of a long piece. www.nytimes.com/2025/09/28/w...

ICE attempted and failed to disappear a food delivery guy. It needed to be scored.

SCOOP / UPDATE — Disney saw more than 1.7 million total paid streaming cancelations during the period 9/17-9/23, a Disney source confirms to me. The total includes Disney+, Hulu and ESPN.

Immigration experts warn the Trump administration is trying to keep a DACA recipient in detention so her protected status expires.

“What they’re trying to do is quietly end it, essentially slashing and killing DACA in front of us, one case at a time, one individual at a time,” said Diana Pliego, a senior strategist at the National Immigration Law Center. Read all of @jesswash.bsky.social's piece here: interc.pt/4gPW0yb

This appears to be the full video of the Chicago delivery worker. It actually appears that an agent tries to assault him after he curses the Dear Leader Kim il Trump to their faces.

Similar to the person who was arrested and charged here in DC for “threatening” Trump when they were drunk, people should be just as alarmed by this reaction from law enforcement to speech they disfavor as they are by Comey being indicted.

The US is trying to demonize nuance because it doesn’t want us to recognize how insidious whiteness works, even among alleged ‘progressives.’ In no universe should Black folks be catching more heat than any of their white counterparts in any arena. Because we didn’t build this shit.

ICE Nazis in Chicago tried to kidnap a food delivery worker but my man was too fast for those slow bastards

First time this guy has ever made me laugh

The empire requires suppression of communal and authentic, autonomous interpersonal relationships for precisely this reason. Colonizer culture is the futile search to meet those needs without having to give up extraction and theft.

Yesterday, I was having a conversation with some former (white) colleagues about how I'd totally pick up a gun and fight to protect my community and loved ones, but I'd never fight for a flag, or some idea of a "nation state." Fuck that! And all these EU liberals didn't understand the difference.

It is actually peak absurdity that we still have people arguing that voters should bend to the positions of their political representatives instead of the other way around.

I’m sharing a Palestinian account every day and today is Nesma. Nesma and her husband ran a small thrift store before this. She is now displaced to the South with her three children, Muhammad, 3, Alma, 2 and a baby just two months old. She is also with her parents and sister who has cerebral palsy.

Third way and Fettermans ridiculous chief of staff think tanks got funded 400k+ Black women are unemployed and folks make too much money pretending they don’t see this They did come for pundits first They came for Haitians , Black women, trans bathroom rights And folks said OK

NEW YORK (AP) — New York City Mayor Eric Adams ends his reelection campaign.

Whiteness is carnage

The white poor need to dismantle whiteness too.

Again, most of the "conspiracy theories" believed by Black folk that authors and researchers that say "Black and white US people are just as likely to believe in conspiracy theories!"🤡 cite... Have been proven to be true. Believing that Tuskegee experiments happened, is not the same as medbeds.

What centrists are offering across the Western world is the opportunity for the right to consolidate their gains as hegemonic. They’re offering managerial competence in service to reactionary aims.

Recent recognitions of a Palestinian state by several European countries are not acts of solidarity but a profound betrayal that undermines our struggle for liberation by legitimizing Zionism. mondoweiss.net/2025/09/euro... #Palestine #Israel

Being American is constantly being gaslighted that the left is divisive or Obama was a divisive president when the current president’s ordered his “Secretary of War” to send troops to American cities and bragged about not forgiving his political enemies while delivering a eulogy at a funeral.

Reading The Reformatory @tananarivedue.bsky.social and it is colliding with everything I know about Residential schools. Makes me wish I had a podcast so we could talk about that overlap. There's always so much I don't know.

“I don’t know enough about the subject of Palestine” is not an excuse for not speaking up anymore. It is not. We’ve been flooded with information about Palestine for two years now. If you still don’t know, it’s because you don’t want to know. That makes you a coward in my book.

Multiple people were shot at a Michigan church, which was also set on fire, authorities say abcnews.go.com/US/multiple-...

This is what “better training” talk is meant to elide.

Together with 1000 Madleens to #Gaza @1kmadleenfr.mastodon.social.ap.brid.gy we are sending a boat with international journalists & health workers in solidarity with Palestinian journalists & medics who continue to report & provide care through #genocide #BreakTheSiege #FreePalestine #AllEyesOnGaza

Not to be a total nerd but like Even in the original Star Wars movies not everyone thought the genocide was bad. The movies were just from the pov of people who did. Like it’s very much part of the plot!
