ICE themselves believe that they are terrifying secret police "With the suspect in custody, the ICE agent wearing a balaclava walked toward the group of onlookers and appeared to ask, 'Want to be next?'"

RIP to the realest. What a woman.

I continue to think that his attack on his base’s identitarian consumption — TikTok/shein crap, skincare, toys, and asset based tool like gardening and home improvement stuff — will eventually be a perfect storm. But, I’m like Gwen. What do I know.

Assata taught me that “Only a fool lets somebody else tell him who his enemy is.” May her spirit fly free!🤲🏾

I’d like to think things like Brazil convicting their attempted coup leader, while the US gave ours back the reins of power, would kill American exceptionalism or at least curb it; but Americans don’t really subscribe to reality like that.

It’s great folks are honoring the civil rights generation like this while they’re still around.

he declined to share the one that said "kash patel is a fugly slut"

“Educators now spend a significant amount of their time detecting AI-generated work and seeking ways to assess whether students are developing essential skills.” Yes. Everywhere.

The Israeli assassination of Al Jazeera journalist Anas al-Sharif, as well as hundreds of other media workers in Gaza, is "a blatant attempt by the Israelis to stop the world witnessing what they are doing," says U.N. rapporteur Irene Khan.

I feel like every single day I need to post a reminder: if you ask an LLM about itself it DOES NOT KNOW ANYTHING ABOUT ITS INNER WORKINGS and WILL NOT TELL YOU ANYTHING ACTUALLY ABOUT ITSELF. It just (as it always does) will make up some plausible sounding answer.

I say it all of the time but I need to repeat this. Talk to elders who were activists and organizers in previous eras because they will share how much in the minority they were.

Look at these broke motherfuckers with bad credit. www.cnn.com/2025/05/16/b...

Stop calling A.I. slop “art” and real human-created works “content”

Jokes on noem, this is already the immigration system

This is the hardest I’ve ever been owned online

A principled student said in a grad speech that the “only appropriate thing to say in this moment” is to acknowledge the “atrocities” currently being committed in Palestine. In response, NYU is withholding their diploma + apologizing to the community for the trauma the audience was “subjected to.”

I really think we’d be surprised at how many officially respectable people would fall in the gutter bigot category if their private views were publicly known.

I’m not hearing impaired, but even I’ve noticed that closed captioning for live events often lacks accuracy. These people are addicted to maladjustment.

seems national publications could be putting more energy into why so many whistleblowers are dying these days www.mercurynews.com/2024/12/13/o...

Thankfully the British and Yoruba have always had a frictionless relationship.

Pretindians is crazy😂

With Bluesky user numbers rocketing, more official news accounts are arriving. Here is a starter pack of major media outlets. Feel free to repost, I’ll keep this updated as more arrive.

5 likes on a disgusting “joke”. Fucking loser. I’m glad he’s already added to a blocklist

I need to find something to call these doohickeys besides “skeets.” Because I was listening to the radio in 2003, so “skeets” ain’t happening.

OMG YES!

Oh they're here but I used a blocklist for them

I hope it stays this way.

For every prominent hate crime against a black person since Trayvon I can think of groups of people celebrating

Failed standup comedian who got "famous" as a talking head on VH1 shows like "Best Week Ever" and then pivoted to podcasting where he was also unsuccessful until he started aligning with the "manosphere" and other reactionary forces and has gotten more and more openly racist/misogynist ever since.

Akhil Amar, Tom Schmidt, and I have a piece in the Atlantic on why Trump + the GOP House cannot adjourn the Senate against its will in order to give Trump recess appointments. (Gift link) www.theatlantic.com/politics/arc...

"We will fight like hell to ensure that our industry has a future, no matter how many times those in charge attempt to run it into the ground." We're in that fight with you! ✊🏽

I need to enjoy that there ain’t no damn ADOS/FBA, Black Hebrew Israelites or Black Pretindians over here yet.

when I first explained health insurance to my kids, I started with "so the first thing to understand is that it's a scam"

I have doubts about the death penalty for people, but not for corporations. Break them up, bar the executives from holding positions of authority in the industry (as a condition of parole), and hold their brands in perpetuity as government property so nobody can profit from them.

people die from guns every day in this country. may as well be the bad ones. stop giving disproportionate sympathy just bc this dude was rich and powerful and "had a family" and maybe shift your outrage to the fact that kids go to school every day wondering if they're going to be killed by a gun.

The only real quibble you can reasonably make with the healthcare CEO being killed is that it was extrajudicial. If they were held to the standards we set for terrorists and war criminals, a lot of corporate leaders would’ve been put on trial and shot already.

I know that people like to publicly pronounce their willingness to resist, but honestly, this kind of work is done in underground networks, off the Internet whenever possible, and without tipping off law enforcement by attaching your name and face to the action.

Twitter *was bought by* a real hating ass bitch

Like, literally the whole reason Biden won the nom/got elected was "beat Trump" and the motivating factor for the unity that drove that was "do something about Trump's abuse of power." The administration has been a complete and total failure on that front.

CEO of Cameraimage downplayed talent of female cinematographers in a column—both male & female cinematographers called him out tho—right before their festival that also premiered Rust, the set Alec Baldwin accidentally shot female cinematographer Halyna Hutchins… www.indiewire.com/features/cra...

Apparently Hutchins’ mom was looking forward to seeing Rust, before daughter was killed on set. Now she sees it as Baldwin profiting off her death. The way her death, as a female cinematographer, collides with their talent being minimized, en masse. Wow. atlantablackstar.com/2024/11/24/a...

I am earnestly seeking suggestions for accounts to follow, any and all suggestions that may be forthcoming will be most welcome.

People act like cancel culture is real but then you go out and everyone is applauding this guy even though he stole fuckin Christmas 67 years ago

My year went much better than his, that’s for sure 🤣

Elon Musk's millions were behind the "Republican false-flag effort" to depress Democratic turnout with dishonest and cynical ads, you'll be shocked to hear:

"In nature there are neither rewards nor punishments, only consequences." - Robert Ingersoll.

Revolution is the only solution.

My dearest authors. I really think you should post links to pre-order/order your books every time you talk about your book. Do not assume people will click on your bio. Do not assume people already know. My mentions are full of people telling me about books but not providing links. Help!
