First, genocide takes many forms. In July, NPR reported researchers estimate that if current cuts continue through 2030, 14 million people who might have otherwise lived could die. Also, this was money already approved by Congress so Justice Kagan was right to be concerned about balance of power.

A lot to unpack from that Klein+Coates interview but if somebody says to me: "I don't think people like you should have any rights and I would prefer it if you didn't even exist. Debate me." And a friends suggests I comply w/this demand, or grieve for anybody who makes it, we're in fact NOT friends

The only way to see the US as a historically white country is if you pretend Indigenous Americans don't exist and you ignore the fact that African Americans have been in this country longer than most of its white people. The way US history is taught from k-12 affirms the lie of white supremacy.

Turned off the comments on that last post because a bunch of keyboard warriors wanted to prescribe risks for others, and that shit infuriates me. If you aren't going and actually taking the risk you are suggesting yourself, I don't care what you think.

Urgent: please share

I’m sharing a Palestinian account every day and today is Eslam. It’s Eslam’s 34th birthday today. She worked in a hair salon before this started. Her husband had immigrated and since the war she has lost contact with him and is on her own with her three children Islam, 8, Yahya, 5 and Mohammed, 4.

The goal is to canonize him so white nationalists can inject his hateful ideas (esp. about Jim Crow, stoning LGTBQ people, and forced births) into mainstream policy movements w/o the merited shame and opposition from centrists.

Really happy to see Mamdani planning to send baby baskets to new parents. When I lived in Scotland, every new parent got a baby basket with a few helpful basics from the Sturgeon administration. It didn't cost taxpayers much, it was wildly popular, and it built up a ton of goodwill among voters.

A mass walkout of the UN General Assembly as Netanyahu prepares to speak.

Kamala Harris is not an elected official. Heckling outside her book tour is racially motivated. The White House lawn is right there.

I say yes to kicking their KKK supporting a$$ out the tent Sparta style.

What a weird-ass Rapture. Only the Constitution disappeared.

I was back at 26 Federal Plaza today, where an ICE agent violently threw this bereft woman to the ground in front of her kids. She had not touched him. She did not pose any threat. She had to be taken to the hospital. (🎥: Elias Eliahu)

I mean

If you were concerned about Kimmel, here's another for you… Journalist Mario Guevara has been detained for 100+ days, ironically arrested as he reported on a "No Kings" protest. The Trump-Vance admin just issued an order of final removal, to send him to El Salvador—where he fled from 21 years ago.

Transitive property aside for a sec, embracing someone who defends a man who defended Jim Crow + slavery is NOT a way to build a strong coalition, unless you want to build a white supremacy coalition. That already exists: the GOP, which (wait for it) welcomed Dixicrats mad about Civil Rights.

Correction: "The president president and his deputies blames autism on acetaminophen use during pregnancy." "tied" implies evidence of a plausible connection was offered That is NOT what happened Normalizing the fallacy is the first step toward more gov't control over women's bodies during pregnancy

People know the harm of bloating police budgets while shrinking social programs. However, the mov't choked on an important point: some advocates differed on the meaning of DTP: 1 "abolish the police (+ prisons)" vs 2 exactly what this second question says. Folks requesting clarity were labeled opps

"She didn't endorse him hard enough and then started talking about these female politicians I don't care about" has been a bit of a tell.

Can you imagine if 400+ American artists had taken such a stand for Palestinian lives within days 2 fucking years ago??? 🍉

One very wealthy white man got his job back today (along with his 200 staff and production team) because of organizing, boycotts, and collective pushback. When will we see that same energy for the 320k+ Black women who were pushed out of the labor market?

Tried to get my real ID. I had my license, my SS card and my birth certificate. I was not allowed to get my real ID because my birth name is different than my married name. Now I have to go dig up a marriage certificate. You know who wouldn’t have to do this? A man. Never change your last name.

Also, (and I'm gonna hold y'all hand when I say this) due process in any legal action taken by a local, state, or federal government, including deportation.

Way too many people on the left poking holes in our lifeboat w/lies and anti-Blackness, even as a white nationalist dictatorship emerges. It's ok to have reasons to dislike any Dem politician, but let those be based on facts, not clickbait headlines of articles you didn't even read.

To be clear, ICE is kidnapping people of all genders, AGES, etc., so children + other vulnerable folk, are at risk, too, not only from fake agents but agents employed ICE. Bien hecho @teenvogue.com

I was subjected for years to Evangelicalism during my youth. It's likely pastors are telling people to give those proceeds to "the church." "Rapture threats" opened wallets bc people put more in offering plate if they think the end is nigh, and as bonus, this might increase chances of being "saved."

It's time for #ClimateWeekNYC! On Thursday Sept 25 @ 3:30 pm, we’re co-hosting an in-person panel with @nrginstitute.bsky.social exploring how AI technologies may reinforce legacies of unjust natural resource exploitation. Space is limited; reserve your spot! resourcegovernance.org/events/ai-an...

Free public college for everyone. But at a minimum, if ppl commit to a public necessity profession that requires a 4 yr. college degree or +, -- e.g., teaching, social work, public hospital/clinic medical professionals, public defender -- ALL their univ education should be free for 10 yrs of service

I am sipping my coffee ret na to the sounds of a rushing Alaskan river and the sight of big booty bears CHOWING DOWN. explore.org/livecams/bro...

For the Nth time, white people who are about that life are NOT camping out in Black people's mentions litigating their wounded feelings. They're out here opening purses and abetting liberation. They take no issue cause they *know for sure* we're not talking about them.

We're need @warren.senate.gov and @aoc.bsky.social but also @governor.ny.gov @mta.info offices to make some calls and report back to the people about how these officers and the train conductor were disciplined. If this can happen once, it can keep happening until Jim Crow returns.

This entire Jimmy Kimmel situation shows, again, white folks can shut all this down whenever they want. But they won’t because they’re not against authoritarianism and hate. They’re just against it when it affects them.

This is a genocide as well——just fyi

A Black teen named Kalief Browder was falsely accused of stealing a backpack. He spent 3 years tortured at Rikers & died by suicide A wealthy white man named Tom Homan was caught by FBI accepting bribes. He was promoted to a powerful law enforcement position This is what white supremacy looks like

Elizabeth Taylor, Princess Diana, and Dionne Warwick basically showed long before most celebrities they dgaf about the AIDS stigma, they went to battle. They will always be icons to me for that.

If you are one of the almost 100 Dems who voted to honor the guy who said the Civil Rights Act was a huge mistake, don’t bother asking Black people to vote for you, donate to you or canvass for you next year. Don’t bother. Please. And don’t be shocked if you get a primary opponent.

I won't post, but Variety published a boot-licking take on Jimmy Kimmel/Stephen Colbert censorship. Making false equivalencies to argue apology as the solution, the Writer implies Letterman's insult of Palin's daughter and Bill Maher's racist slur is the same as criticizing POTUS or a slain Nazi.

"Actually weighing the bears would be a dangerous and monumental task, so it’s up to voters to judge size by looks alone." Yes, we will weighing with our hearts. #fatbearweek 🧸 is coming 📣

"This isn't the America I know" Black people:

It shook me that white man at Fox News was allowed to say all homeless people should be killed. On live TV. I WAS homeless a decade ago. The isolation you experience after being cast off by people is why I refuse to speak to anyone who knew me back then. It’s unforgivable what the homeless endure

Did we forget that fast how anti-genocide protesters have been treated for the last 2 years for simply saying “please don’t kill the Palestinians”? I know y’all know about that poem.

You can’t talk about cleaning up crime in D.C. while a 34-count convicted felon is running the country.

I would love to be part of the conversation on MSNBC related to the Kimmel story and it's chilling effects on first amendment, but unfortunately I was terminated by MSNBC for stating that "hateful thoughts lead to hateful words which lead to hateful actions".

Motherfuckers begging to say shit suddenly ain't got shit to say. Sad.

Yes but can we talk about how muffahs are doing a remembrance special for a Nazi?!

DOJ Deletes Study Showing Domestic Terrorists Are Most Often Right Wing 🔗 www.404media.co/doj-deletes-...

even if we refuse to remember the shooter's name, once she said Charleston, that should have rung the bell for anyone

For last 9yrs, hateful people voted while too many of the rest of us found excuses not to. There are people in my family who remember DixieCrats, Jim Crow supporters who left Dem party bc of its support for Civil Rights. Today, certain "Dems" want to reverse that exodus.

oh gawd, thank YOU @luxalptraum.com I feared I was the only 1 seeing the patterns: gaslighting, brazen lies, hypocrisy, testing boundaries w/small hurts before worse harm unfair punishments for perceived slights, refusal to take accountability for anything financial abuse won't go away (9 yrs?!)
