Didn’t have the Commander-in-Chief addressing brass and invoking two N-words—nuclear and the slur—on my bingo card.

Took about 20 years. And I never thought a book about enslavers using deputization to give themselves policing power would be relevant to our times. But we are where we are. My book, White Power: Policing American Slavery, is now available for preorder. a.co/d/29c7EIP

the president of the united states wants to use the american military to kill american citizens on american soil. that's the whole story!

Well, what he said was "Debargeables," but after some discussion it was determined that Rhythm of the Night had somewhat limited tactical value in engagements with Antifa, so the consensus evolved he had meant dirigibles.

Judging by their speeches, neither Trump nor Hegseth has paid the slightest attention to how actual wars are being fought in the actual world. The “war fighting” and “lethality” they plan is inside their own country and comes from conflicts inside their own minds.

Shit! Keep him safe 🙏🏽

BREAKING: Israeli attacks across Gaza today have killed at least 25 Palestinians, according to local hospital sources cited by our colleagues at Al Jazeera Arabic. 🔴 LIVE updates: aje.io/e85h34

This fucking Keebler Elf from hell just keeps lying with every breathe that he can muster. It just never ends with these Republican chuds. Republicans control every single branch of the government. All of them. They cannot pass a budget so they're blaming Democrats.

Nothing of course!!

PORTLAND PREPARES FOR WAR Photo of trees downtown which have been “yarn bombed” by makers knitting colorful patches and wrapping them around their trunks. No trees were harmed in the making of this art form. 💚 🍄🚲🗽🌦️🐿️☕️🧶 #ICE #Knitting #INeedCoffee

“There will be no federal takeover of Portland, Oregon.” 🔥 👀 Damn — @bynum.house.gov is. Not. Playing. Around.

Caught him and a photo bomber in real life,!! @joshjohnsoncomedy.bsky.social

Yep

NEW: Rachel Maddow drops unseen bodycam footage of feds coordinating the arrest of Newark Mayor Baraka. I REPEAT: the feds ordered his arrest even though he wasn’t breaking any laws. Federal agent: “We are arresting the mayor right now per the Deputy Attorney General of the United States.”

Priztker: if federal agents fired upon journalists and protesters, when unprovoked, what would we call it?  I don't think we'd have any trouble calling it what it is. Authoritarianism.  So let's not pretend it's something else when it happens in our American cities.

It’s official: AIPAC is trying to buy my election to keep me out of Congress. Apparently, I’m a “dangerous detractor”... by believing Palestinians (like myself and my family) deserve basic human rights. But we’re not going to let AIPAC win.

I thought BlueSky was setup so we didn't have to read posts from the current occupant of the White House.

The gender wage gap exists worldwide. It is estimated to be about 20% globally, while in the U.S., the gap was about 17% in 2024, meaning women overall earned 83 cents for every dollar earned by men. Those numbers vary when you account for race/ethnicity. 🧵⬇️

“Israeli Forces Kill 198 Palestinians in Gaza Over Three Days” It’s a genocide. Daily endless massacres, largely ignored in the West.

The better question is why would any LEGITIMATE business need untraceable and unregulated avenues of transferring money?

Um, could someone get a message to Katie Couric's team regarding the camera's focus? @katiecouric.bsky.social

The arc of the moral universe is long, but it bends towards justice. Except it doesn’t bend on its own—it bends because we pull it in the direction of justice. What keeps me hopeful during times like these is being surrounded by people who are doing just that.

Don’t blame “progressives” for a NC murder while praising Reagan—the gov who signed LPS (’67) and the prez who cut Carter’s MHSA (’81). DOJ/AP/PMC confirm the Charlotte case; NC GOP spun “woke.” Safety isn’t a slogan—it’s capacity. Starve the net, and people fall.

More in love with Order than with Justice Loving the negative peace brought by the absence of dissent, over the positive peace that comes with the presence of Justice Someone said something like that once

ICE attempted and failed to disappear a food delivery guy. It needed to be scored.

Portland not backing down.

Equating “American” with one racialized culture is racist. Belonging ≠ assimilation; rights aren’t contingent on culture.

Praising Eric Adams is dumb, unnecessary and only serves to condone corruption and lawlessness.

A US citizen & human rights defender identified as Rachel S. was abducted & beaten by ICE Trump regime forces in LA, then transported to the hospital and then a detention center, local rights defenders demand an investigation. She is heard screaming: "Let me go! I am an American! I was born here!"

Hillary lost me when she shrank MLK and the Movement. On “deplorables,” though—she told the truth. Call it half of tRUmp’s base; I’d say more. Not persuadable. We’ve seen this before: the crowd that treated lynching as a picnic. The uniforms change; the hate doesn’t.

Ezra Klein asked Ta-Nehisi Coates, "Why are we losing"? Coates should have said, "Because there ain't no we".

I really don't like to pick on the same people over and over, but Hakeem Jeffries and Ezra Klein won't stop saying things.

"Political violence is the norm for the Black experience in this country. It just is." - Ta-Nehisi Coates If you think political violence starts and ends with rich, powerful white people, you have NOT been paying attention in the slightest. #blacksky

White church: "Blackness is the curse of Ham" or the "mark of Cain". Black church: "If you don't speak in tongues, you ain't saved".

Nothing is more enjoyable to watch than a 350 pound NFL nosetackle intercepting a pass! SEXY DEXY! www.nfl.com/videos/can-t...

It's the fuckin guns........ BREAKING: Multiple victims injured, church on fire after shooting in Grand Blanc, Michigan. www.youtube.com/watch?v=4I0n...

MIKE JOHNSON: We have to ensure that the rule of law applies to everyone TAPPER: Does the rule of law apply to people who stormed the Capitol on January 6? JOHNSON: Apparently there were 274 FBI agents in the crowd TAPPER: They were sent there to do crowd control. It wasn't a false flag operation

Well literally everyone needs to watch this. And then everyone needs to get to work on this problem. And what isn't needed is more tax breaks for the rich nor more welfare and handouts for the rich when you got rich on the backs of others.

Andrew Johnson wrecked Reconstruction. 1865–69: vetoed Freedmen’s Bureau & Civil Rights Act; pardoned ex-Confederates. 1868: impeached, saved by one vote. His “black rule” propaganda branded Reconstruction illegitimate—white supremacy squandered the Union’s win. #ReadingAsRebellion

More than 200 GOP House members voted to hide the #Epstein files and protect child rapists. They can't evade responsibility. HERE'S ONE: [ All of them are shown at wearesaners.org/pop ]

Trump demands that Microsoft fire Lisa Monaco. Anybody from the party of small government have an issue with this or nah?
