Priscilla Williams-Till, a cousin of 14-year-old lynching victim Emmett Till, is running for U.S. Senate in Mississippi as a Democrat against incumbent Sen. Cindy Hyde-Smith. She says that Hyde-Smith's infamous remark about being "on the front row" at a public hanging helped inspire her to run.

I spent a lot of last summer making ASL versions of info about Project 2025. The amount of hatred I got was overwhelming. Those folks are quiet now, and there's no pleasure in having been right. It's just sad. It didn't have to be this way. And tbh P25 is a drop in the bucket of evil these days.

Sharing my article regarding my use of AI: "To be or NOT to be dependent on interpreters?" - available in ASL & written English. Inspired by my experience at TISLR15, surrounded by the scholars I respect so much - had to tag @linasigns.bsky.social @jaceyhill.bsky.social and @d7play.bsky.social

Hearing families should stop being told not to use sign language with their deaf children, deaf academic Dr Kate Rowley has said, with there being “no evidence” it impacts speech or literacy.

Colbert will be all right, maybe even better off. The world's his oyster and I'm sure MSNBC and Netflix will come calling. He could stand up the biggest late night YouTube channel in days. But they are just torching the Late Show, an institution, solely to appease a dictator. And that fucking sucks.

In 2013, the Obama administration introduced a goal for federal contractors to work towards having 7 percent disabled employees. Now, as I reported for @motherjones.com, the Trump administration is working to undo this. www.motherjones.com/politics/202...

New bombshell from my investigators on Epstein's sex trafficking operation: the Trump administration has an Epstein file detailing 4,725 wire transfers and almost $1.1 billion flowing through just one of his banks. Hundreds of millions more through others.

The Senate voted early Thursday to strip $1.1 billion in funding from the Corporation for Public Broadcasting, a severe blow to 1,500 local public stations, as well as PBS and NPR

A State Department employee shared with PBS News an image from inside the department. The image includes a piece of paper taped to a mirror with the words, "Colleagues, if you remain: RESIST FASCISM. Remember the oath you vowed to uphold."

The first time Charlie Chaplin used his voice in a film, he wielded it to forcefully condemn the rising forces of fascism around the globe. Will we listen to his words today?

Trump was golfing, Ted Cruz was partying in Greece, and the Mexican President was sending in help to the Texas flood victims. Put it on every. fucking. billboard.

A Boston University professor estimates that the Trump administration’s cuts to USAID grants have caused more than 330,000 deaths worldwide, including 224,575 children. 😰😰

I don’t think anyone is prepared for what they just did w/ ICE. This is not a simple budget increase. It is an explosion - making ICE bigger than the FBI, US Bureau of Prisons, DEA,& others combined. It is setting up to make what’s happening now look like child’s play. And people are disappearing.

I am grieving the barbarism that is going to unfurl from all this. People are going to die. Livelihoods gone. All to feed a corrupt kleptocracy. I see every day up close how different it is from the first time around. There are no guardrails. A disaster. I’m sorry we have to live through this.

Republicans are gonna pay for this shit. I don't mean this in some sort of violence encouraged rhetoric, but you will pay for this. The American people are pissed. 2026 we will vote you out! This bill is gonna hurt way more people than it help. Remember this!

I can't believe I still have to cook dinner after they undoubtedly turn off the Constitution this afternoon.

This is why they didn’t want him back: He is a witness.

the president just opened a concentration camp

Not for nothing, but y'all better get to learning ASL, because without Medicaid no one will be able to afford your fancy cochlear implants 🙃. PS--WHO predicts a huge spike in hearing loss due to Covid, noise pollution and earbud use.

My statement on Donald Trump's threat to deport me and his praise for Eric Adams, who the President "helped out" of legal accountability.

Frost: James 2:26 says faith without works is dead. So, we can read the verses all you want but until you stand up for the healthcare of people, those words are dead Foxx: I know that scripture very well too

Senate Republicans just passed Trump’s bullshit of a bill—and it’s even uglier than before. — At least 16 million could lose healthcare
— Trillions will be added to the deficit
— Hospitals will close
— Children will go hungry Now it comes back to the House. (1/2)

A government ban on Hungary’s Pride parade backfired Saturday as over 100,000 people marched through Budapest, far more than usual PM Viktor Orban warned people to stay away, threatening “clear legal consequences.” But the warnings only turned a modest event into a mass rally against his government

Rep. Raskin is 🔥

The gloves are off 🥊

Today’s SCOTUS decision on birthright citizenship sadly confirms the argument of my essay that published today: We are in a once-in-century battle for civil rights, and therefore, democracy.

I've covered race for two decades. I knew the 2nd Trump Admin would be dangerous for civil rights. Yet the collapse of the federal civil rights architecture and national will to address racial inequality and work on integration is stunning. Here's my latest. www.nytimes.com/2025/06/27/m...

So weird that Dems who said Trump won because Dems weren’t focusing enough on young voters and kitchen table issues are actively opposing a candidate who won the NYC mayoral primary doing just that. Almost as if that’s not really the concern…

BREAKING: Tomorrow — Friday — will be the final SCOTUS decision day of the term, Chief Justice Roberts announces. The following cases — www.lawdork.com/i/166479240/... — remain:

In the words of Nelson Mandela: it always seems impossible until it’s done. My friends, it is done. And you are the ones who did it. I am honored to be your Democratic nominee for the Mayor of New York City.

A deaf and mute Mongolian man seeking asylum has spent more than 80 days at an ICE facility. During that time, he has not had an opportunity to see a judge or communicate with anyone who understands Mongolian Sign Language, according to his sister and lawyer.

Pacers, it was an amazing run 🫡

The most powerful military machine on the face of the earth, led by Moe, Larry, Curly and Shemp. (SOUND UP) #DonaldTrump #WWIII #Iran

Sorry, but I’m all out of sympathy. Farmers who supported Trump should have known exactly what they’d be getting. After all, pretty much his entire campaign was based on his vitriolic hatred of undocumented workers, coupled with his idiotic tariff policy. You reap what you sow, guys.

Oh.

Tell a Black child: • I’m so proud of you. • You are so loved. • You make the world brighter. • You are amazing just the way you are. • I believe in you. • You are so creative. • You are a great problem solver. • You have a kind heart. • I love your sense of humor. • You are enough.
