Defund the police is very specific. The issue is the Black youth that articulated the position were met with eye rolls, even as they laid out their plan for an abolitionist movement. I've spoken to many of them, specificity isn't a problem, will is. Much like abolish ICE.

NEW: Amazon is telling people who use its wishlists feature to switch to post office boxes or non-residential delivery addresses if they want to ensure their home addresses remain private, as part of a change in how it processes gifts bought from third-party sellers.

AIPAC, crypto, and AI industry Super PACs are spending millions on upcoming Democratic primaries. If the Democrats wants to win back voters' trust, they must reject the influence of these Big Money donors. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Uzc57eD3cWI

I finally read this piece and it resonates. newint.org/protest/2025...

I strongly disagree with this! Perhaps this was true in 2000. In 2026, there are ~200 DSA members in City council & mayor seats, ~65 in state leg seats. DSA holds ~1 in 120 state leg seats! Maybe most *online* leftists are too anti-reformist. But onliners of any ideology are stupid & impatient!

Ah yes, Europe divesting from United States businesses again!

I celebrate the founders of the “Second founding.” The ones who imagined and worked to create a new America, & laid the foundation for, wrote, or advanced the 13th, 14th, & 15th amendments. Charles Sumner, Thaddeus Stevens, John Bingham, Frederick Douglass, Frances Ellen Watkins Harper & many more.

Look at them, clapping like seals for their dear leader. Too cowardly to embrace morality because they don’t want to be targeted by him.

Listen...these dudes changed the locks on her mailbox They marked her mail undeliverable and returned it to the sender They blocked her & her tenants from receiving doctor’s bills, medications, credit card statements, car titles, property tax statements, & more ballsandstrikes.org/scotus/posta...

CNN follows NPR and Politico in finding that DOJ scrubbed the Epstein files of evidence related to a woman who accused Trump of sexually assaulting her when she was 13 years old.

I wish white people wanted to say “excuse me” as much as they wanna say “nigga”

Rep. Al Green was holding a sign that reads "Black People Aren't Apes" at the #SOTU:

Wild part is we explained all of this years ago very publicly and they swore they got it.

The data on the links between autism and pollution has been around for awhile but it gets no traction because reducing air pollution involves collective action, but you can individually opt out of vaccines. It's about control.

I'm not going to censor who posted this because he should be unfollowed, and you need to know who he is before you can do that. This homophobia is unacceptable in Canada or anywhere. Homophobes need to learn that their hate is losing them community.

When you realize that Warner Brothers said "Delete that shit" and the BBC chose to keep it...baby this is why I'm not debating nothing about modern racism. Full grown adults made a lot of choices

White folks. . . y'all have GOT to stop tryna go Rambo and actually work TOGETHER

I on the other hand would like to see some yelling of “YOU LIE” and maybe shoe-throwing.

Instead of watching Trump lie and ramble for an hour tonight, you should watch, listen, or read the latest Theory of Change episode in which @jeetheer.bsky.social and I discuss how tech oligarchs like Peter Thiel and Elon Musk are literally basing their politics on sci-fi novels.

Democrats dropped a bill TODAY to stop private equity's housing takeover. Let's get this done.

Love my city to death.

If you threw away your weed man call him back now.

ICE stole an older, blind refugee who can’t speak English, then dropped him off at a random coffee shop in Buffalo and he hasn’t been seen for 5 days in the freezing cold… www.investigativepost.org/2026/02/24/b...

I don't want or need a president that silences the conversations that protect people that aren't "culturally normal.🤡" That's how fascists chip away at the base of good people. I do want and need a president that will prioritize protecting the most vulnerable. That's how you protect people.

Clarence Thomas is celebrating Black History Month his way: by becoming the first black judge to rule that they don’t have to deliver the mail to you if you’re Black

He was MAGA, so no outrage.

AI Added 'Basically Zero' to US Economic Growth Last Year, Goldman Sachs Says https://gizmodo.com/ai-added-basically-zero-to-us-economic-growth-last-year-goldman-sachs-says-2000725380

the truth is: black people are made to feel intrusive nearly everywhere we go. but even allies "uninflicted with blackness" often fail to advocate on our behalf so resolutely to society for compassion & understanding and when we are forced to do so for ourselves, we are vilified for it.

this is so funny.

Bluesky's cashtags were built for stock tickers. Nobody used them. So I repurposed the 45 million available frequencies into something else — a horizontal information network called the Mezzanine. Posts connect across time without threads.

Giving people Republican-lite, when the Republicans are there is a bizarre choice.

Yeah, in general, we privatized public accommodations instead of building more housing precisely because people wanted to believe anyone without housing should be dehumanized and ostracized.

“And a third time at a Black woman. I understand and deeply know why this is an impossible situation. I know we must handle this with grace and continue to push through. But what made the situation worse was the throw away apology of ‘if you were offended’ at the end of the show....

It’s soooooo much happening… and none of the people conservatives warned you about is doing it…. Not a single queer , gay , trans leftist person involved

Waymo on the freeway just seems like an even worse idea than them being on the street

Someone explain to me how this is effectively distinct from what Russia did to the Ukrainian children they stole and put up for adoption to Russian families.

People get into trouble thinking there’s infinite growth doing one single thing. Oh no, friends, you must widen the repertoire.

She literally called the children the Black school stupid.

Concentration camps with a shooting range.

Extremely predictable (in fact, predicted by basically everyone) but still a little shocking that Team USA had its best Winter Olympics ever and the Trump administration didn’t celebrate any of the winners until the men’s hockey team, which they are celebrating A LOT

I love that Ryan continually points out (as recently as at the BAFTAs) that Zinzi is a Producer (Proximity Media) too, not only his wife. She’s there by his side in both roles (and is an Oscar nominee too via Best Picture nom for Sinners). related: www.marieclaire.com/culture/zinz...
