What a photograph. “Nearly two dozen arrested as faith leaders protested outside a federal immigration facility near Chicago…” Arrested large amounts of peaceful clergy face first on pavement is a pretty good sign you’re not the good guys in the story. www.reuters.com/legal/govern...

not even american - born and raised in London. given GB’s history, the desire to subjugate non-white people is in his dna.

What we learned from newly released Epstein emails... crucial: open.substack.com/pub/contrari...

Today is a good day to remember, and to say, that the #MeToo movement was right, and was righteous, and has been vindicated over and over again. There was no overreach. There was no excess. There was no they-went-too-far. So much work remains to be done.

I’ve written it at least once already, but this is slavery-era shit.

Wild that Maxwell--a child rapist--is currently in prison and has better health care than I do.

his rants on beards is more anti-Blackness - many Black men can’t shave because of ingrown hairs, razor bumps and skin discoloration, and if they are no longer allowed to get waivers their careers are in jeopardy. he knows that if I said what I really think of this 🐱 I’d have feds at my door

good morning…forgot to post this Monday - my latest for @contrariannews.org, on protecting “critics” for their opinions vs legitimate sources offering information open.substack.com/pub/contrari...

agreed. it's "the guy who makes you uncomfortable for reasons you won't articulate isn't the future. this guy who looks and talks like you is."

I know there’s always that “well at least he’s seen the light” way of thinking, but Moulton’s doing a hard left turn because he needs to if he wants to be a Mass senator. we remember not so long ago you were more than happy to throw trans girls & women under the bus, sir…

literally thousands of walmart employees - as in they work - need snap benefits because they don’t. fcking. pay. their. employees. and then they use those snap dollars *in walmart*.

in case you needed another example of how completely fcked up the us “justice” system is…oh, and how racist -

this was a good convo - not just anger (totally warranted) - but potential solutions too

it’s not a “counternarcotics” campaign, it’s straight up “killing hispanic people in boats for funsies” campaign

good morning to everyone except @schumer.senate.gov and the 8 spineless senators he talked into co-signing on the cruelty

I honestly don’t get the value of this company. They hoover up energy and water. Their product constantly gets things wrong and, in extreme cases, coaches people into suicide. And it’s all built on what seems to be malicious and vast intellectual property theft. What does OpenAI offer the world?

“He even brought—what are these feelings?—hope and optimism to New York City and to those around the country paying attention to his race. Both are in short supply.” @shalisemyoung.bsky.social on Zohran Mamdani.

Yemeni bodega owners. Mexican abuelas. Uzbek nurses. Trinidadian line cooks. Senegalese taxi drivers. Ethiopian aunties. No one was left out during NY Mayor-elect Zohran Mamdani’s victory speech, because he promised that no one will be left behind if he was elected. open.substack.com/pub/contrari...

I probably shouldn’t be surprised, but it’s…illuminating that popular independent political news outlets zeteo and the bulwark - both led by people from marginalized communities - have a combined zero Black writers/journalists. (zeteo has a podcast with former reps Cori Bush and Jamaal Bowman)

In his decades-long pantheon of bone-chilling statements, this one’s hard to top.

who could have ever predicted that would happen?!? everyone. everyone predicted it.

this is so obscene and disgusting…recent data shows over one-third of americans don’t have $400 for an emergency for perspective: 1 million seconds = 11.5 days 1 billion seconds = 31.7 years 1 trillion seconds = 31,689 years

No it’s important to listen to this. Because then you understand that many of them will do ANYTHING to keep power. Remember Musk got involved in the 2024 election after saying to Tucker “if she wins” I am definitely going to prison. So we need to move knowing that nothing is off the table for them.

always enjoy Azza Cohen’s analysis of photos and how they’re used to shape perception. after Tuesday, she looked at pictures of hope

the entire twitter and group chat poisoned elite of American society who decided Trump winning an election by 1.5% heralded a thousand year reich may have miscalculated a bit

not really trying to be funny…is he at the point with his mental acuity that he needs this signage?

it’s kind of delicious that the absolute worst people in this country are crashing tf out over Mamdani

if only they’d been awake to reality 12 months ago…

in Asia, Trump was more laughingstock than leader. my latest for @contrariannews.org -

did I really see a clip of @jaketapper.bsky.social say gen z kids have had issues of human and civil rights for Black and queer people “shoved down their throats”?? these people really couldn’t wait to stop pretending, eh?

Amazing. The man isn't even mayor yet but he's already solving our trash problems.

if i said these words out loud i would immediately retreat to the most remote place i could find and never be seen or heard from again (context: this is the cbp agent that was “assaulted” by a protestor in dc throwing a subway sandwich)

the AI ads cuomo and cuomo-supporting pacs are pumping out are so vile and beyond the pale… roughly 1 in 9 residents of NYC are Muslim and they’ve been shown time and again what the person who wants to lead the city thinks of them - that they are all terrorists worthy of contempt and open hatred

I feel terribly for people losing their jobs. but target did this all on its own. I loved going to target and almost always spent more than I intended. and then the minute mango mussolini said he hated Black and LGBTQ people they folded like a cheap lawn chair. fck em.

“For someone who claims he is a strong man, he looked feeble. And confused. And weak.” @shalisemyoung.bsky.social breaks down Trump’s visible decline — at home and abroad.

All that Christian Jesus, hundreds of years of unchecked wealth and power And still scared of women, black people, trans people, immigrants, rainbow sidewalks, vaccines? Yeah. Loser shit.

92% means there are 8% like winsome…there’s a reason “all skinfolk ain’t kinfolk” is a thing we can’t all be perfect

Have you seen the AI video Fox News thought was real? @azzacohen.bsky.social explains how discriminatory AI videos target the vulnerable, especially Black women.

in Asia, Trump was more laughingstock than leader. my latest for @contrariannews.org -

good morning…everything is terrible, but let’s share a little joy - big or small, what happened that made you smile this weekend? for me, I’m the new director of track & field at Phillips Andover and had my first Andover-Exeter experience via the cross country teams. indoor track starts soon!

this country is terrified of the greatness of Black women, ex. 114,292:

I’ve said variations of this, but I cannot fathom the level of greed and hatred you harbor when you already have more money than can be spent in this or 40 lifetimes and you say nothing as the government openly admits to starving citizens, ostensibly to give you even more money.

no better way to burnish his white supremacist bonafides than to dump the brown lady for an aryan dream girl

“As we approach the one-year mark of the presidential election that gave us whatever all of this madness is, it is even clearer that Vice President Kamala Harris was right about pretty much everything,” writes @shalisemyoung.bsky.social in her latest.

That orange demon is telling y’all he’s going to play with nuclear weapons but some of y’all are too busy defending Nazi tattoos, yelling at democrats, and pretending a mayoral race is the center of the universe. 🗣Get your shit all the way together!

they’ve murdered 61 people literally just because. where are the functioning democracies of the world? where is the UN?

Like a "third world war lord" Trump and his cronies are weaponizing food to get what they want. Jen's piece showcases their cruelty further: contrarian.substack.com/p/maga-uses-...
