Chris Rabb handing corporate Dems an embarrassing defeat in Philly on Malcolm X's 101st birthday while I did my annual tradition of listening to "The Ballot or the Bullet" is so intensely gratifying. The main thing is to keep the main thing the main thing type shit! Go 🦅s Fuck 🧊 Free 🇵🇸

A federal judge in Manhattan has barred ICE from arresting most immigrants inside New York City’s three immigration courthouses.

Black, oily goo drove this Oklahoma family from their dream home. @propublica.org & @readfrontier.bsky.social show you what happened next. AND coming soon: A film featuring the Merediths & other Oklahomans living with the environmental impacts of oil & gas pollution. Screening in Tulsa May 20.

I know we're long past the point where this should be shocking anymore, but I still can't get over official government accounts stating that Jesus is "our Savior."

Random tea about the Drake album release you probably don’t know about. And it has to do with charting 🧵🪡 So Drake dropped right ? Everyone predicted he’d have the largest Spotify debut of 2026 competing with Bad Bunny. Well you’re right Spotify even posted about it with Billboard backing it.

Published in The New England Journal of Medicine. Peer-reviewed. Large sample size. Sound methodology. An antiviral pill has, for the first time, been shown to prevent COVID-19 in individuals exposed to SARS-CoV-2. Ensitrelvir blocks the enzyme coronaviruses need to make new copies of themselves.

the way to think of this is that it is the judicial version of “you’re the real racist for noticing my racism or even thinking about race”

Biblical literacy is always needed when analysing contemporary US politics, & @karenattiah.bsky.social does a great job of it.

Public Interest Law Center called the decision “a victory for the city’s growing tenant organizing movement.”

BIG STORY: ICE arrested, shackled and separated Israel and Max Makoka as they were about to board their school bus in Diamondhead, Miss. While one brother endured confinement and pressure to self-deport in a Louisiana prison, the other was sent to a youth home in Texas. Now, they tell their story.

BREAKING: SCOTUS has denied Democrats' request for a stay on the Virginia redistricting case. This means that the VA Supreme Court ruling stands. This is what Democrats get for asking permission. It is beyond absurd that they asked a 6-3 MAGA fascist court for permission. They need to ACT ASAP.

This episode feels particularly important to me. Even though I lived through a lot of it, I found the history of US empire, war, and the analysis of our current wars, and the connections of it all, very helpful.

Thinking a lot about a convo between @liberationma.bsky.social and me: Whether we are all destined for a a future in America where we are all hawking our services on social media like one Big Giant Home Shopping network. Journalism becomes not a stable career, but a side hobby at best.

Since Ben Bergquam is riding around with ICE in the west burbs this morning, we thought it only fair that people see the invite to have a pint and discuss politics with him tonight. Feel free to call the church and tell them your thoughts on his active support of ethnic cleansing. #Chicago

While 1 in 3 families with an incarcerated loved one goes into debt over the cost of prison phone calls, telecom companies line their pockets with billions. It's time to end this vicious exploitation of incarcerated people and their loved ones.

I'm not concerned about "erasure" because I know history in this country so I know that Carter G Woodson, Du Bois and countless others who were operating under USian political fascism documented Black life and history. They did so under much worse conditions than we have now.

thank you sam alito for ending the unconstitutional racial discrimination against white conservatives and allowing them to obliterate federal representation for as many black people as they can manage, as the reconstruction congress intended

i found it incredibly painful to hear tucker carlson repeatedly invoke the legacy of Occupy Wall St and talk about the oppressive burden of debt on the nyt podcast yesterday. the fact that this space is even available for him to, well, occupy is such an indictment of a the democratic party.

Dilley is evil and must be closed. It's a goddamn concentration camp. A moral abomination. People are going to Hell over this.

She was granted withholding of removal from India *decades* ago, and had been living and working legally (including for the U.S. government!) ever since. But with third country removals now a real option, TSA shared her data with ICE and they arrested her at the airport on her way to a job.
