Read this and tell me how you can’t let politics get in the way of your relationships be they familial, romantic, professional or platonic. A ONE month old newborn was next to a window that ICE agents shattered with no regard for his life. And then left his wife and child behind in the cold.

If they ban whistles switch to cowbells. It'll be fun for all the Gen Xers. Because we need more cowbell.

However else you feel about BLM One of the founders is a Black Immigrant, another is Afro Latina The Black Immigrant experience was always part of this, Audre Lorde was Bajan Diasporic and immigration concerns have always been a part of discourse

Speaking as a Black Immigrant who worked for these outlets, and foundations etc And been laughed at if not directly insulted and stolen from They know They know this is why this is happening. They thought “those people” deserved it

Consider yourself on notice that John Roberts is going to get his dream fulfilled by overturning the Civil Rights Act of 1964. @akstaggers.bsky.social

More shocked that Pete Hegseth wasn't the first to do this.

There's a rising faction of the legal academy that stays quiet when their MAGAdemic colleagues produce fraudulent psuedo-scholarship in service to the cruelest aspects of Trump's agenda ... then leap in to police the discourse when their progressive colleagues criticize those MAGAdemics too bluntly.

It was amazing to watch the journalists who built this tool at work. Months and months of painstaking effort, careful reporting behind every decision. It's the kind of work that ProPublica does best.

my one plea as we ring in the new year with Zohran being sworn in as mayor is to take some fucking wins he’s not going to be perfect, there will be setbacks and disappointments, but take some joy and some pride in the good that comes out of this good things are more durable when we celebrate them

thank you for being a haven in the storm and a kind word in the darkness. praying for a safe, bountiful and blessed 2026 and beyond for us all. ✌🏾

Fighting to be seen as the "member of the team" they demand you be, while never being treated as one. I wish that when I read stories like this, they'd just once sound unfamiliar and not resonate, viscerally.

I'm already over the grandstanding over "60 Minutes" pulling their report. What did people think would happen if Trump got re-elected? From the tearing down of the East Wing to the boat strikes to the Kennedy Center, the press brought us here because they were bored. They aren't the heroes here.

If I’d donated every dollar I earned to Act Blue and direct campaign contributions since I was eligible to vote… May John Roberts live to see his legacy remembered as that of the most destructive Chief Justice in our country’s history.

Sure, Wilsey might not be a great fit for a customer-facing position…her long rap sheet, which includes charges of child endangerment, disorderly conduct, marijuana possession, &DWI.

AMERICANS DO NOT WANT TO ETHNICALLY CLEANSE THE NONWHITE POPULATION. Only a tiny cabal of dedicated white supremacists led by Stephen Miller wants that. But Americans are being lied to by their cowed, billionaire-controlled media about what their government wants.

Earlier this year, I wrote about being concerned that we would soon witness journalists being jailed for doing their jobs.https://open.substack.com/pub/nicolefcarr/p/the-historic-black-press-and-the?utm_campaign=post&utm_medium=web It’s happening. Let’s not allow this to become the norm.

There’s also its key aim of procurement capture for its corrupt owners. We will not know whether DOGE has been uprooted until we have gotten into the Signal chat full of white supremacists and extremists where all of its activity is illegally coordinated, entirely outside of government authority.
