“Cotton-picking hands” is not a figure of speech. It is a direct invocation of slavery — designed to remind a Black man of his place. Rep Jen Kiggans heard it used against Hakeem Jeffries and said THAT’S RIGHT. If that doesn’t make your blood boil, check your pulse. #JimCrowJen

THERE’S A PATTERN Before Jen Kiggans was nodding along to “cotton-picking,” she was already trying to police how schools talk about racism. #JimCrowJen Anti-Black history panic👇🏽 As a state senator, Kiggans championed SB 570, a bill banning school’s honest discussion of race & racism in US history

MAGA Rep Jen Kiggans (R-VA) agreeing with this radio host that Leader Jeffries (D-NY) needs to get his cotton-picking hands off of Virginia, tells you everything you need to know about the Republican Party. #JimCrowJen needs to resign or lose her seat in November. VILE‼️‼️

We need to win back Congress to put a roadblock in front of Trump. Every Republican seat we flip is a vote against healthcare cuts, rising prices, voter suppression and racist Jim Crow rhetoric like what Jen Kiggans said on a talk show yesterday. #JimCrowJen www.nytimes.com/2026/05/12/u...

No comment.

Someone asked a bunch of kids what the first thing was that cane to mind when they thought about Trump. Their answers are priceless. Check out the video.

This is an appalling and intended to silence us in challenging racism. Get louder and braver.

So, we didn’t just pay for the tariffs, we paid for the tariffs twice?

If you were married to an abusive man and you now fear for you life if you stay and fear for your life and the lives of those you love if you leave, what would you do?

Today’s children are growing up in a world where major news reaches them quickly. But heavy news often comes with little context, which can trigger anxiety. Read my piece on Medium about helping Kids Make Sense of Heavy News medium.com/the-parentin... #MomSky

Thank you to everyone who has taken time out of your busy day to roast his lying 🫏!

NEW: Two senior MOD whistleblowers with inside knowledge of Palantir's systems have come forward to @thenerve.news to say government ministers are ignorant of the grave national security risks the technology poses. Hugely important by @charlienotold.bsky.social www.thenerve.news/p/palantir-t...

Except we’ve spent $50 billion, the Strait is closed and 3000 people are dead. @bloomberg.com www.bloomberg.com/news/article...

NEW: Trump accepted $37m worth of donated steel for his WH ballroom project from the Luxembourg-based company ArcelorMittal. Days later, the WH made adjustments to Trump's tariffs that could benefit ArcelorMittal.

NEW: Thomson Reuters, the media company which is also a data broker, has long provided personal data for ICE tools, according to documents obtained by 404 Media and sources. There are also indications its data is now part of the Palantir system ICE uses to find which neighborhoods to target.

The humiliation ritual continues and yet nothing Trump does to her can equal the manner in which Pam Bondi repeatedly debased herself.

Massive turnout for #NoKings #SanDiego

One red-shirted, counter-protester showed up but he was no match for this sassy man and his Pomeranian. #NoKings #SanDiego

Are you getting these ominous new alerts? I wrote about a new way Facebook may be the target of trolls, bots, and extremists looking to silence activists. open.substack.com/pub/1nadines...

Just a reminder, if you haven’t been to a hospital or retirement community lately, it is the families ICE is targeting most who are taking care of your grandpas and meemaws every day.

“Being a convicted sex offender did not make Mr. Epstein an outcast, not when he seemed to have something to offer. His transactional amorality actually seemed to add to his appeal to people who were convinced that the rules didn’t apply to them.” Nailed by @mollyjongfast.bsky.social

Byron Donalds, your silence as Trump posts racist memes comparing the most prominent Black family in the country to apes exposes your cowardice and lack of character.

Araña had been out of activism for over 2 decades before recently joining Migra Whistle...“I had been feeling pretty dejected,” “But when Chicago started using whistles to push back against ICE, I saw the first really effective activism that gave me hope that we could do..” slate.com/technology/2...

Tremendous offering: Your money funds ICE's "public health initiative" - eliminating health problems by eliminating the public! Can't spread germs if you are too afraid to leave the house and you can't have medical debt if you're dead! Problem solved! #FundHealthcareOverICE

Triggered by Elon Musk's decision to flood the social media platform X with pronography, Spanish PM Pedro Sánchez announces a strict 5-point measure designed to restrict access of adolescents to social media, clamping down on logarithms that foment hate, racism and violence, and banning pornography.

Remember when Elon Musk tweeted: “@realDonaldTrump is in the Epstein files. That is the real reason they have not been made public. Have a nice day, DJT.”

ICE now confirming that there is a measles outbreak at the Texas concentration camp where young Liam was held.

After Renée Goode was killed, Minneapolis neighbors poured into subzero streets to witness, protect, and refuse to be silent. On Wide Awake America, I talk with Minneapolis-based sociologist Nicole Bedera about what outsiders miss and what the country can learn.

Remember when Elon Musk tweeted: “@realDonaldTrump is in the Epstein files. That is the real reason they have not been made public. Have a nice day, DJT.”

I just want to clarify that I have had no correspondence that needs this kind of clarification.

Thankful FOR LIAM and his father ! JUDGE ORDERED THEIR RELEASE !! PLEASE KNOW THAT DILLEY DETENTION CENTER IN TEXAS houses 1100 detainees, many children, and even a two month old baby!! They're being treated as prisoners !! Call your Representatives 202 224-3121 NO ICE FUNDING #ICEOUT

Judge dismisses federal murder charge Death penalty is off table for Luigi Mangione Mangione is accused of killing UnitedHealthcare CEO Brian Thompson in New York in December 2024. He still faces federal stalking charges that carry a possible life sentence without parole.

This is fascism. This is racism. This is outrageous. Don't be silent. That is their goal.

Let us be heartbroken and angry and resolved to stop this attack on our country and our people.

Today, ICE agents killed yet another person in Minnesota. They wrestled him to the ground. Shot him multiple times. And soon, they'll tell us why we should accept it. We won't. Take action today: coc.is/3Ly4peB

Trump continues to protect pedophiles in every way possible.

They keep walking. People keep showing up. In a loud, punishing news cycle, a group of monks, a healing dog, and ordinary people across the country offer something quieter: care, restraint, and a reminder that peace still moves among us. open.substack.com/pub/thejenni...

If we need more proof these are in fact death camps… www.theguardian.com/us-news/2026...

Greenland PM Jens-Frederik Nielsen: "If we have to choose between the US & Denmark here and now, we choose Denmark. We choose NATO. We choose the Kingdom of Denmark. We choose the EU." "Greenland does not want to be owned by the US. Greenland does not want to be governed by the US" he later added.
