ICE agents held a man’s five year old autistic daughter and taunted him with “Is that your daughter” in an attempt to get him to come out of the house. They were rebuffed but two days later took him from his car.

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?

Unfettered, emboldened and therefore deadly and yet… yet… cheek turning ensues.

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.

everything changed, everything destroyed, everything gone

Imagine if all the white ladies canceled their Disney+/Hulu subs, stopped paying Amazon, and quit supporting Target and other problematic brands and paid those 320k Black women who lost their jobs monthly instead? Just thinking out loud.

NEW: Air Force jets are doing ICE flights to Africa with transponders turned off, making them nearly un-trackable. This includes the third-country removal to Ghana and another secret flight. We figured out where it landed. From me for @rollingstone.com: www.rollingstone.com/politics/pol...

A man caged by ICE was found dead in his cell inside a Long Island jail 18 hours after arriving there.

They’ve fired a whole lot of pepper balls at us. Multiple people hit, including one struck in the head. They’re charging the crowd and seizing people outside Broadview. The air is barely tolerable from all the fumes.

In case you’re wondering, it’s barely fall & our children’s hospital is already almost always full with kids boarding in the ER. And the pediatric workforce is stretched thin. Our system does not have the capacity to care for the influx of vaccine preventable diseases that is coming.

I'm recovering from open heart surgery and a sitting US House member has called on my university to fire me. Happy Thursday.

Just now, 11 state and city lawmakers were arrested by DHS police on the 10th floor of 26 Federal Plaza after a hour of demanding access to the ICE lock up on the same floor. @thecity.nyc

Did you know if you throw something to Ryan’s @mewefree.bsky.social cashapp $mewefree like I just did you are helping a mad Black person who is an invaluable part of our community & has survived homelessness & police violence living in economic precarity? Things to ponder. You know you want to.

It’s going to break your heart how many people you know, love, and respect will turn out to be cowards. Prepare yourself as best you can. You are not alone, but you are your own center. Be a strong center.

IT'S OFFICIAL: Connecticut, Maine, Massachusetts, New Jersey, New York State, Pennsylvania, Rhode Island and New York City have formed the Northeast Public Health Collaborative. The collaborative will issue their own vaccine recommendations and coordinate public health efforts.

Epic trolling by the Brits!

I’m perimenopausal. Hormone therapy has been game changer for me. But when I learned that peri- and menopause symptoms hit Black women harder and last longer, and yet we’re 5X less likely to get hormone care than white women, I had to write about it. My column: www.bostonglobe.com/2025/09/18/o...

Though she doesn’t have ample free time as a soccer mom with a full-time job, Vargas tries to use what slivers she can manage shrewdly. “The minutes that I do have extra, I use them for the community.” Her method? Chasing ICE officers with her car. via @sfgate.com www.sfgate.com/la/article/a...

Yesterday, I said out loud, "A Black man was lynched today." I'm still processing that. Please elevate Trey Reed's name.

A mainstream outlet finally does more than repeat the official BS statement from ICE about the shooting of Silvero Villegas-Gonzalez. This man's death should be a national scandal. Grateful for indy journalists who questioned the official narrative that corporate outlets mindlessly echoed last week.

When I was placed on the Professor Watchlist in 2021, people sent death threats about my children. I had security officers monitor my 8yo at school. Where is all the outrage for those of us who have been targeted for years? Where is the outrage for our families? My own colleagues are silent.

If you are a white person who subscribes to the Washington Post, your solidarity should not be expressed in "feeling badly" but in cancelling your subscription today if you have one. Otherwise no one wants to hear anything from you.

For the record. My posts were not even about Kirk directly, but about America's apathy towards political violence, and the coddling of white male shooters and hate peddlers. I was fired because I mentioned race: white men and violence-- that was my "gross misconduct."

I saw this image yesterday & haven't stopped thinking about it. A healthy lung, the lung of a 14-year-old boy with chronic exposure to air pollution, and a smoker's lung. Report comes out tomorrow, bringing together peer-reviewed research on fossil fuels & health us02web.zoom.us/webinar/regi...

This was a word AND he cussed 😂

If it’s on par with the bread they make, I bet it’s 🔥

“For nearly 50 years, his fate has remained a mystery, sparking desperate searches, raising suspicions of government complicity, and inspiring international documentaries. Now the mystery has been solved,” writes @harrietbarber.bsky.social

happy birthday bong joon ho ✨

“ExxonMobil made 51 heatwaves at least 10,000 times more likely than in an unheated world” ExxonMobil knew they were cooking our world 50 years ago, & then CHOSE to spend decades funding doubt & denial. People made this choice. People who will be responsible for billions of people.

Sikh woman raped in 'racially aggravated attack' speaks out The young woman was on her way to work when two white men raped her - they also told her to "get out" the country. There's been no notable response to this by UK politicians - they should speak out. news.sky.com/story/sikh-w...

man they really didn't give a shit about that guy. as soon as it was clear they couldn't use his death to launch a purge they started to treat it like a nothingburger

In 2023, we won the Build Public Renewables Act — a groundbreaking law empowering NYS to speed up the clean energy transition and lower your bills with publicly-owned power. Today is the deadline to tell the New York Power Authority that we need a plan for 15 GW by 2030. Take urgent action below.

Me all day on the internet seeing non-Black people ask what has happened to America.

BRASILIA, Brazil (AP) — Brazil's Bolsonaro sentenced to more than 27 years in prison after Supreme Court panel convicts him of attempting coup.

A dozen people have died either on Rikers or shortly after being released from it this year, including Wednesday’s death. The death toll nearly matches the number of deaths seen in the dangerous jail in 2024 and 2023 combined.

Meanwhile…

For those of you who want to know what Congressional Black Caucus members are actually doing - please check out this weekly series from Linda

The left isn’t “dancing on Charlie Kirk’s grave,” we’re just pointing out that, thanks to rhetoric like his, a lot of other graves exist.

They aren’t calls for civility. They’re demands for forgiveness. Because if Black people can “forgive” the most virulent racists, then there’s certainly hope for your racist loved ones or even you. Grief is an extension of love. It’s why hate coalitions don’t know how to do it alone.

Federal immigration agents were seemingly forced to retreat from a roofing job site in Rochester, NY, after being confronted by more than 100 protesters The workers stayed on the roof and agents drove away in a Border Patrol SUV on four flat tires, which had been slashed

One day after the Supreme Court lifted the ban on racial profiling, federal agents swarmed a car in Van Nuys. Four masked agents with guns drawn yanked people out, slammed them to the ground, and pointed a weapon at a pregnant woman. There is no justification for this. None.

Dear NYC: 1. The last day to register to vote is October 25, 2025. 2. There will be two mayoral debates, on Thursday, October 16 and Wednesday, October 22.

I’ve always believed that white people push the whole “vaccines cause autism” narrative because it’s easier for their ego to blame something physical like vaccines, rather than their genetics — which they have always been taught to be superior.

ICE is using a controversial spy tool to locate smartphones, court records show.
