Greta Thunberg, deported to Greece, says the targeting of the Sumud Flotilla is "not the story" @teenvogue.com — instead, she says: "Israel once again violated international humanitarian law by preventing aid from getting into Gaza while people are being starved.”

BREAKING: "For all of the reasons" given in Saturday's TRO, Immergut grants plaintiffs' second motion for a TRO. "Based on the conduct of the defendants, ... in direct contravention" of Saturday's TRO, the second TRO bars relocation or federalization of National Guard from "any state or D.C."

In a first coordinated African-led effort at the United Nations, leaders have declared the Transatlantic Slave Trade as “the greatest crime against humanity” and called for reparations.

greta thunberg’s moral clarity throws other people’s callous indifference into sharp relief. The existence of a person who can unabashedly refuse the excuses cheapens and undermines their excuses. Her existence exposes their lie.

I really need all of us to abandon any impostor syndrome. It’s time.

In case it wasn’t clear, the anti-DEI crusade has never been about merit. Zero news experience. Never been a reporter. Elevated to Editor in Chief of CBS News, one of the most storied news institutions in the nation. www.mediaite.com/media/news/p...

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.

Why do headlines say "norms shattered" when what is meant is "laws broken" or "Constitution violated"?

“Nobody in the world, nobody in history, has ever gotten their freedom by appealing to the moral sense of the people who were oppressing them.” ― Assata Shakur, Assata: An Autobiography

If you have a moment when the public’s attention is focused on what you’re gonna say—make the most of it. Spoke your mind. Called out the bs. Respect @jimmykimmel.com

Earthjustice President @abbiedillen.bsky.social delivered over 54,600 letters from our supporters demanding that the EPA honor their responsibly to address climate change and uphold the endangerment finding. Make your voice heard by September 22nd: earthjustice.org/action/dont-...

One of the most remarkable things of the last 9 months is how many Americans seem to believe the President is all powerful and Congress has no say. Actually Congress has been ineffective by choice. It has immense power if it had the courage to use it.

Scratch that. What a brutal fucking L. Just..how tf do you lose that game. I can’t. #dodgers

losing the no-no with a HR. ugh. 💙

Black women have every right to be furious. The irresponsible choices of white voters has for many of us, taken our livelihood with consequences for our homes, the education of our children, our ability to care for parents. It’s unconscionable. www.nytimes.com/2025/08/31/u...

Appreciate the clarifications in this piece.

It never gets less sickening

@grist.org examine the impacts that Trump administration cuts are having, and may have, on the everyday activities of Americans: “Flipping on your lights. Turning on your faucet. Paying household bills. Visiting a park. Checking the weather forecast. Feeding your family.” grist.org/politics/tru...

Today, the Trump admin announced its decision to repeal the endangerment finding – the single most important provision authorizing the US government to regulate greenhouse-gas emissions and fight climate change. This unprecedented decision is reckless, detached from reality, and will cost lives.

85% of Gaza is on the brink of death due to starvation. Israel could let aid in at any moment. And some people (like these men tried to do with me on Friday) are still trying to justify this atrocity. There is no justification. This could stop at any moment. End the blockade now.

The illusion was that any of these institutions actually believed in these principles. They practiced liberal democracy when it was easy because it was easy, and now they’re caving because fascism is easy and democracy is difficult. In the end, they will have the world they’re willing to work for.

Some people don't feel as close to this as they ought to. Most of us are just a bad break or two away from winding up on the streets, and addiction & mental health crises can affect anyone. They're gutting services and rendering more of us disposable, and there's a carceral disposal system waiting.

The distance between what is in happening Gaza, fully backed with US dollars and political support, and the reaction of American politicians who by and large just don’t seem to care or support it is just completely brain-breaking. www.nytimes.com/2025/07/23/w...

There’s not enough evil in the world to break us or our ability to see our innate beauty and strength even under the worst of conditions. Justice has a long memory. Breonna Taylor, 2020 Amy Sherald

This is why so many of us should have been listening to Black voices and learning far more about the history of racism in America. All of that led us here. Fascism was already here for many others. And now it’s coming for the rest. If we had fought for others harder, we’d have prevented it.

Every single story you are hearing from the Everglades Concentration Camp has been and is already taking place in hundreds of prisons and jails in the U.S. That's what PIC abolitionists have been trying to get the public to understand for decades.

🚨A federal judge in Los Angeles has temporarily blocked ICE raids and other arrests in LA and surrounding areas unless there’s “reasonable suspicion” of immigration violations that aren’t based on “apparent race or ethnicity” or speaking Spanish or English with an accent.

The Ku Klux Klan Acts (passed in 1870 & 1871 to protect 14th amend rights) were a response to masked violent men who terrorized Black communities, violating their civil rights.The deployment of violent masked ICE ofcrs are tapping into this unique form of terror. open.substack.com/pub/sherrily...

NEW: Planned Parenthood just won a temporary injunction that will allow its clinics to continue receiving Medicaid funding for services unrelated to abortion — despite a provision in the GOP tax law blocking such funding.

"The children are always ours, every single one of them, all over the globe; and I am beginning to suspect that whoever is incapable of recognizing this may be incapable of morality." - James Baldwin

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.

The evil that men do lives after them

American fashion designer Willy Chavarria starts his show with a performance dedicated to those illegally detained by ICE.

Last night Diego Luna gave a heartfelt speech about immigration and LA and what Trump gets wrong about it. Starts at 3:00 in this video and it’s worth your listen. youtu.be/7726WoO7mTM?...

to call this a crime against humanity is true but inadequate — it’s a crime against all creation

“He has always worked hard to put food on the table for us and my mom,” said Alejandro. “He was always careful and always did his taxes on time. He never caused any problems and he is known as a kind and helping person by everyone in our community.” santanero.org/2025/06/21/l...

Oh god no

In spite of its owner, I must say the LA Times is meeting the moment with wall-to-wall coverage of ICE kidnappings and so many stories about how immigrants are the backbone of everything great about LA. Its staff has a much clearer view of the city than the New York Times does of NYC.

The sole surviving fiberglas full-scale model of Jaws at the Academy Museum of Motion Pictures in LA. It hangs over an escalator. Have to admit it’s pretty cool to see. And it’s huge. #jaws

Garcia said he was shaken by what he heard while he was detained. “They call them ‘bodies,’ they reduce them to bodies,” he said. “My blood was boiling.”

The Senate's Reconciliation bill is up for debate in Congress, and it would auction off millions of acres of our cherished public lands to the oil, gas, coal, and logging industries to help pay for tax cuts for billionaires. Urge your Senators to vote NO on the budget bill: 202-224-3121
