Johnny is in Chicago for their protest. It looks horribly violent #USDemocracy

I'm really pleased this resonated with so many people

Joy Reid asks “Why are conservatives so angry?” 🤔

Your infrequent reminder that the Second Klan was partially built on the exact same moral panic as MAGA: "sex trafficking". maggiemcneill.com/2012/03/14/c...

A golden moon whispers of change.

@repshontelbrown.bsky.social delivered a #CupOfJoe with a latte facts. “Donald Trump’s only expertise on crime is committing it not preventing it”

The Hopi Tribe received a multimillion-dollar federal grant to install solar panels and battery storage systems for hundreds of homes. But the Trump administration has canceled the funding.

Well said by @chrisambr. In fact, two things can be true here: 1) what Jones said was horrendous & deserves condemnation by everyone; 2) anyone who supports Trump - one of the most evil people EVER in US history - has no moral standing to demand anything. bluevirginia.us/2025/10/satu...

We need a bigger national spotlight on this building raid, fam. Agents dropped from helicopters onto the roof. Citizens and non-citizens alike were dragged from their homes in the night. People who weren't kidnapped during the raid had their belongings seized after the fact. This is madness.

Developing – Feds put a Black man in a chokehold in Chicago's East Garfield Park

They’re repeating history - Hitler’s Purging Disloyal Commanders 1938. Since we already know this “playbook” - then why aren’t we doing anything to change it?

They’re gaming the midterms by erasing districts like Jasmine Crockett’s and silencing Black and Brown voices. California, you can stop them. Vote YES on Prop 50❕

Hegseth is a joke.. Country over Party 🇺🇸 Fuck you and your loyalty test.. #SheShed

I still can't believe we let this drunken rapist piece of shit lead the military.

The exact number of victims is unknown, but estimates of African Americans killed ranges from 100 up to several hundred. None of the white perpetrators of the massacre were charged with any crime, despite some admitting to participating in torture.

We’re crowdfunding for @eji.org, a charitable org dedicated to “ending mass incarceration and excessive punishment in the United States, to challenging racial and economic injustice, and to protecting basic human rights for the most vulnerable people in American society.” tiktok.com/@thisisawkword

This ought to be a huge story everywhere. It is imperative that we not normalize sending troops into blue cities on false pretenses. The consequences could be tragic. Journalists must rebut the lies and quote the outraged at the top of their articles and segments. www.cnn.com/2025/09/27/p...

Wild how white folks rally for a comedian while a Black man was just lynched. Tells you everything.

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?

There should be no doubt as this funeral is being broadcast who America is … however it doesn’t mean this type of white nationalism can’t be beat back. Instead of white America ignoring the reality of this truth folks who don’t stand for this need to link arms with those who have BEEN telling you!

When you call out racism these days, they call that “hate speech,” but when someone promotes racism, they call that “free speech.” It’s backwards

THE HUMAN COST OF A BROKEN HEALTH CARE SYSTEM While insurance and drug companies rake in huge profits, over 85 million Americans are uninsured or underinsured. 68,000 people in our country die each year because they can't afford to go to a doctor.

I believe the younger generations vote is sacred, because they are the ones who will inherit the consequences of today’s decisions and be left to endure the mess passed down to them😞🖤

You cannot understand US politics without understanding racism. It's impossible.

Ossoff: "There are families in NE Georgia now who will not have local access to child birth services ... I mean, we are the wealthiest country in the world. We should be building new hospitals. We should be building new clinics."

You didn’t recognize fascism when Black people faced harassment by law enforcement, were beaten and bitten by dogs while advocating for equal rights. Or when police bombed a Black community in Philadelphia. You failed to recognize fascism when it impacted others. Now we’re here.

NEW WRITING: "We are living through the worst time of my lifetime, and astrophotography has helped me remember that, as my mom Margaret Prescod once reminded me, the universe is bigger than the bad things that are happening to us." 🔭 As promised, with a prettier image of Andromeda! 🎉

First, Stephen Colbert. Now Jimmy Kimmel. Is it sinking in now? Do you all get it now? We now live in an authoritarian dictatorship. The United States of America as we know it is OVER for everyone.

They target Historically Black Colleges and Universities because they fear Black excellence. They choke off funding to keep Black students from climbing higher, then lie about “budget priorities.” Call it what it is: #GOPCutsKillEducation

The Dept. of Justice has removed a study showing that white supremacist and far-right violence “continues to outpace all other types of terrorism and domestic violent extremism” in the U.S.

I want our young people to know that there is a path forward, that a better world is possible. I don't want them to give up, to become cynical. They deserve to be young and full of optimism. They are owed a world that supports and sustains optimism.

Four Black girls were murdered in a church for daring to exist in a desegregated America. Decades later, justice came, because people refused to let the story die. Watch Sen Doug Jones and historian Heather Cox Richardson break it down. History isn’t past. It’s a warning. youtu.be/bccqUo0mZvQ?...

Joy, solidarity, love and hope - fascists cannot take these from us. We The People will not bend nor break, and we will keep fighting for the equality they try to deny.

House Democrats are fighting to protect Americans’ access to affordable, quality health care.

Charlie Kirk spent his life making people like me unsafe. His followers sent me death threats for years and threatened my employer if they didn’t terminate me. His work was NEVER about free speech. It was about hate and emboldening violent people. The dishonesty of the past 24hrs is disgusting.

don’t decide what’s real let it decide you... the thoughts are the map but the dream is the journey the heart is the compass but the soul is the north and in the end belief fades away but what remains without effort is what was always real #Photography Jackie Jones @mookyshi91.bsky.social

Trump and Republicans are trying to rig the next election by diluting the vote of Black, Brown, and minority voters across the nation. This is yet another attempt to silence the voice of those who disagree with their politics, and these are the actions of a wannabe tyrant.

Y’all, Missouri needs our help📢 Spread the word… The GOP is trying to ram through another redistricting power grab, but there’s a secret weapon: a referendum —to block it. All it takes is 106,000 signatures across 6 districts. Let’s make sure Missouri voters, not politicians, decide. 1/3
