We’re deeply grateful to all of the Tennessee Indivisibles and everyone else across the state who showed up in defense of democracy. We the People — especially Black and Brown Americans — have opposed tyranny in the past. The road may be longer than we hoped, but we will win. Again.

“I live in constant fear that I will be subjected to further baseless detentions just for going about my daily life." On May 2, Leonardo Garcia Venegas, a Florida-born US citizen, was detained by ICE in Alabama for the third time (!) in the span of a year. And he's suing the federal government.

ICE keeps detaining the same US citizen again, and again, and again. He’s fighting back.
“I only wish to live my life in peace,” Leonardo Garcia Venegas said in a declaration.

People need to stop trying to gaslight us. Everything is political. The air we breathe, our bodies, our minds, our daily lives, the streets we walk on. Politics shapes who gets safety, healthcare, housing, education, and peace. Pretending otherwise is a privilege.

Can reporters stop using the word deal? It’s an agreement, a settlement, a treaty, an understanding, an MOU etc. Using the word deal is accepting his simple-minded TV game-show framing and contributes to the bogus drama he is trying to create.

Don't forget: my old Yale Law classmate Clarence Thomas refused to recuse from Jan. 6 cases despite his wife's involvement in the plot. And he's taken at least 100 gifts worth over $2 million while serving, including from GOP donor Harlan Crow. He's a disgrace to the Court.

a thought i had while talking to a friend is that a federal end to partisan gerrymandering has to be at the top of the democratic party's agenda, and may likely get there because of threat the status quo poises to black representation, and thus black political involvement altogether.

Amazon is the Met Gala’s main sponsor. Bezos' "lovely" wife will likely wear a dress made of cash she stole from tip jars and blind beggars. If you don’t watch or care about the Met Gala, it's an easy thing to skip, but Amazon? Let's keep not giving our money to Amazon.
