@africanacarr.bsky.social not sure if you know of this elder

It’s fucking heartbreaking watching the pleas from MN residents start echoing the pleas from Gaza residents

Anti-choice extremists in Indiana are trying to force the release of records for the very few legal abortions in the state (146 in 2024). The purpose is to intimidate patients and providers and expose them to harassment, arrests, and violence.

Major GOP donors are getting rich off Trump's deportation campaign. It's the purest distillation of MAGA: fusing bigotry with uncontrollable greed.

If you have not gotten your copy of Burn Down Master's House by @claycane.bsky.social you are missing out! Clay Cane put his literary foot in this book! I wish I could give it a gazillion stars because ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ is woefully inadequate! I cannot recommend this book enough!

Yo

JD Vance, Donald Trump, Stephen Miller, Pete Hegseth, Pamela Bondi, Greg Bovino, and Kristi Noem Have conspired against the US public; they should be held accountable for their crimes. Impeachment is too light of a consequence. Life imprisonment is necessary.

The tiny nation of Palau, where two seasons of Survivor were filmed, has agreed to take 75 migrants for $7.5 million. They have not been charged with crimes and will be put to work filling labor shortages. Now you really are on Survivor. www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article...

This is brilliant

Y’all are cutting HBCU funding, dismantling civil rights offices, slashing Medicaid and SNAP, over-policing Black communities—yet want us to believe you’re helping poor Black people?

People missing an important point about folks getting fired for whatever they said about Charlie Kirk: Americans are being conditioned to be snitches on their fellow citizens who don’t toe a party line on what is “allowed” to be expressed. And employers are going along. It’s the new secret police

Hurricane forecasters and scientists rely on weather data collected and processed by Department of Defense satellites. The Navy has decided to stop sharing the data.

Trump seized power, not by winning votes, but by erasing them. Watch my interview with @nicolesandler.bsky.social for the 411 on 47. www.youtube.com/watch?v=hZLI...

The Trump administration has agreed to pay reparations to Ashli Babbitt, who was shot and killed when she attacked the United States Capitol on January 6. They will compensate an insurrectionist but say Black people deserve to die if we sell a loose cigarette or wear a hoodie in the rain.

Stay woke.

If you’ve never heard Whoopi Goldberg tell the story of how she came to be cast in the film adaptation of Dr. Alice Walker’s “The Color Purple,” you should definitely watch this. This right here. This Black Culture. This is Community. We are truly a remarkable people. 🖤🖤

I don’t think people realize how bad it’s going to get tomorrow when Wall Street finally collectively realizes that these people have no idea how economics work, and then it’s gonna be a scramble to not be the one left holding the bag.

They are disappearing people off the streets They are disappearing people off the streets They are disappearing people off the streets They are disappearing people off the streets They are disappearing people off the streets

Also if you feel strongly about Eric Adams, you should call your city councilmember to express that and ask for their position. You’d be surprised. Hochul’s stance is highly disappointing but it doesn’t come from nowhere. Press all your electeds. City elections are in 5 months. Ask candidates too.

Come and get it from me, Milwaukee!!!! See you all June 19 at Summerfest. 🎟 defleppard.com/tour

Hey, here’s some of what @thedemocraticparty.bsky.social did today 👋🏽

Today is International Day of Women and Girls in Science! STEM fields are essential to national economies, yet gender equality remains out of reach in most countries—regardless of their level of development. It’s time to close the gap!

One of the most important websites in America right now.

Dictator in Chief Musk has taken his coup of the federal government to another unhinged level by reportedly moving 1 of his infiltrators in to live in a government agency WITH HIS WIFE AND BABY! And ICYMI Elon is infiltrating air traffic controls next. #reeciecolbertshow youtube.com/shorts/XEiTp...

In honor of Black History Month, check out this Black owned directory site. it's great! blacknile.co

Remember, weeks before the election, our Department of Justice issued a memo stating that there were some 600 Russian assets in the United States, some of which were members of Congress. 1/2

Just the <checks notes> Chair of the House Appropriations Committee going on the record to say that appropriations statutes “are not a law.” The United States Congress, ladies and gentlemen.

Here we go …

Wow

“And if we don’t fight, if we don’t resist, if we don’t gain the power to control our own lives, then we will wear the exaggerated look of captivity, the stylized look of submission, the bizarre look of suicide forever and ever, and therefore it is, there it is.” Jayne Cortez, There It Is

1. I had no epiphany, no singular revelation, no moment of truth, but a steady accumulation of a thousand slights, a thousand indignities and a thousand unremembered moments produced in me an anger, a rebelliousness, a desire to fight the system that imprisoned my people —Nelson Mandela

Relatively few people genuinely want to think about solutions. They'd rather cater to their addiction to being angry for the bump in energy it gives them and the perceived distance it creates from their fear.

Matthew Kacsmaryk ruled today that Kansas, Idaho, and Missouri can continue this lawsuit in Texas even though they have no ties to Texas. I would have thought they would have just asked Texas to jump in, but why bother when Trump judges will just do whatever they feel like it. More info below:

In light of Trump's External Revenue Service announcement let me explain again. Tariffs are not taxes imposed by the U.S. on citizens of other countries. Tarrifs are NOT FREE MONEY for the U.S. they are a tax on Americans. #reeciecolbertshow ##reeciewiththereceipts youtube.com/shorts/GXXpH...

After I pointed out that while there was a $17M budget cut to LAFD the expenditures (spending) is forecasted to be $90M MORE than the FY24/25 budget, people have asked me about the Fire Chief's 12/4 memo still mentioning the cut. I'll dive deeper on the #ReecieColbertShow youtube.com/shorts/Fbf9C...

Elon’s estranged daughter has re-entered the chat

Just flying home from a brief respite from reality. There was an inflight emergency. Respiratory depression in the setting of a few meds newly started and known to cause sleepiness. Altitude causes all sorts of stress on our bodies. Check twice before starting a new med prior to boarding a flight

Tis the season. 🎅🏻

“We can disagree and still love each other unless your disagreement is rooted in my oppression and denial of my humanity and right to exist” James Baldwin

It's hard to love a country governed by hate.

Joy, creativity and leisure is just as much apart of the fight against white supremacist regimes as protesting, teaching, learning and working. If you can’t imagine a different world you’re not going to build one
