Richest 1/1000th of world’s population controls 3 times more wealth than the poorest 50%. "The global wealth gap has become so staggering, and its impact on economies & democratic institutions so corrosive, that policymakers should treat it as an emergency..." www.commondreams.org/news/world-i...

Minneapolis Police Chief Brian O'Hara to US citizen detained by ICE: "I apologize that this happened to you in my city with people wearing vests that say 'police.' That's embarrassing."

The U.S. is mirroring a pattern that has happened in authoritarian regimes around the world. When a government erects barriers to reproductive care, it doesn’t just cause death and suffering for women and their families. Such policies are often a first step in the gradual decline of democracies.

lol everyone finding out white men benefit from preferential treatment in college admissions is sending me. May the consequences of said actions begin. 🤷🏿‍♀️ hechingerreport.org/an-unexpecte...

Remember folks: if you have any small amount of artistic talent, any sex appeal, or can make your friends laugh, the richest man on earth is crying screaming throwing up because he can’t be you.

They are EVERYWHERE!!

The USPS posting a NINE BILLION DOLLAR LOSS!!! sounds terrible. Certainly worse than if you said "USPS costs thirty dollars per person per year" even though that means the same thing and more accurately describes a government service

This is how it’s done.

Still waiting for the billionaire pop star to chime in about the WH using her music…

Since I haven’t seen anyone mention this: When the U.S. commits war crimes it puts our troops in danger also, as it gives a green light to other countries that they can do the same to us

Jamal Hinton and Grandma Wanda officially celebrate Thanksgiving together for a 10th year. 🦃

the requirement is, of course, “be white” amp.miamiherald.com/news/nation-...

This is the type of hater energy that will fuel us in the years ahead.

Yikes. (via @steverattner.bsky.social)

ICE deported a woman who owned a home in the US for 30 years. A judge banned ICE from deporting her to Sierra Leone where she had been tortured, so it deported her to Ghana, which kidnapped her and sent her back Sierra Leone anyway. ICE is part of this illegal conspiracy.

l bet some of y‘all think Kristi is joking. Nope. The Republicans hid this on purpose for almost a year and the MSM missed it. www.politico.com/news/magazin...

As a survivor of the Tulsa Race Massacre, Viola Ford Fletcher bravely shared her story so that we’d never forget this painful part of our history. Michelle and I are grateful for her lifelong work to advance civil rights, and send our love to her family.

So a big part of the Project 2025 goals hinges on forcing women out of the workforce. The Heritage Foundation knows that women voters hold the most power in terms of sheer numbers. If they can push you out of the workforce, they can push you out of your voting rights.

As we all wait for Callais to come down, our piece showing that Shelby County increased the racial turnout gap in most of the covered parts of the country has cleared the replication check and is incoming at JOP. Gutting the VRA was bad, actually.

What a throw from Shedeur Sanders

Funny ongoing bit is the browns not letting Shedeur be on the field for their touchdowns

Since February, according to my latest analysis, almost 600,000 Black women have been economically sidelined. The November 20, 2025, Jobs Report makes clear this isn’t a blip. It’s a structural crisis. That is not a recovery. It is a redistribution of opportunity.

Fake fake fake. The sad thing is that this works, which is why our enemies do it.

the last 24 hours on X, summed up:

The center of the party is Black women. The sooner you make peace with it, the better it will be for you. Energy is all the populist left has. When it's time to convert that energy into action to create progress y'all chicken out and offer up excuses for your cowardice.

Medical Professionals treat Black Women like the legal system treats Black Men. And this story is just a continuation of that dehumanization process.

Here’s the thing…he didn’t say any of that to his face. Also…why didn’t the first Black Female mayor of Detroit do this? I mean Detroit is actually in a swing state? I’ll answer that…Whitmer the governor of Michigan did it and was dragged for filth...by the same people defending the bs yesterday.

MOTHER JONES: “You should be paying attention to the race in Tennessee’s 7th congressional district”

It’s funny/sad that folks want to pretend that it’s charisma or some magic beans that had the orange demon smiling with the mayor elect of NYC. What is it about the regressive branch of the Democratic Party that is unable to give grace to a BW but will twist themselves into pretzels to make excuses

I’ve been meaning to talk to the Universe about the allocation system of confidence…

THREAD: Judge Ellis is the first federal judge to review extensive body cam video of DHS's actions in Chicago. She finds that DHS *repeatedly* misled the public and made claims that were disproven by agents' own videos. I'll go through some of the most egregious ones here.

In case you were wondering or forgot....or completely ignored it....

Trump suggests Khashoggi had it coming: "You're mentioning someone that was extremely controversial. A lot of people didn't like that gentleman that you're talking about. Whether you like him or didn't like him, things happen. But he knew nothing about it. You don't have to embarrass our guest."

i—

forgot how racist she is

Last Thanksgiving, two Dallas Police officers knocked on my door, citing a tip from the FBI national threat operations center that I was beating my girlfriend. The incident report confirms this. Today, I obtained a file from the FBI via FOIA that states the FBI has no record of receiving such a tip.

It’s funny that even now, with everything we know, there’s still a retreat towards treating racism as somehow uniquely unbelievable.

"Ungrateful wench".... this how #they all feel.

This may not be entirely fair but a reason I don’t think mayor Pete has It is because he polled zero percent among Black voters, the demographic which - can’t say this without sounding condescending but - usually gets it right, early, when it comes to candidates

I'm seeing people wonder why ICE is going after Charlotte. ICE has been at war with Charlotte's sheriff ever since he won in 2018. We'd covered this at Bolts back in the day; this quote is from that sheriff:

too real lol

Michelle also said we have a lot of growing up to do and well…

He is not the front runner. That man has turned off tons of Black people. Until he gets the actual base to turn out…I’m not worried about him.

Just say “white people” and go. We already heard this from Bernie.

65 Years Ago,,, History was made. #RubyBridges

Do you want to know why Michelle Obama won’t run for president? Here it is, and she’s not wrong…

The White House has said last month’s jobs report and inflation data would “likely never” be released.

From @jesseduquette.bsky.social

I no longer hold a safe space for white people to unlearn bigoted and biased behaviors. I've long chosen not to put up with anyone's sh*t across the board. That's the only way some of you hard-headed mothers’ fckrs are going to learn.

At the same time the NY Times was hyping Hillary Clinton's emails, it had a reporter with emails from Jeffrey Epstein that were highly damaging to Trump. The more NYT apologists try to minimize this the clearer it becomes that they don't understand why much of the public doesn't trust legacy media.
