one thing perhaps worth emphasizing is that under federal law an escaped enslaved person was a criminal. an "illegal," you might say.

In Matt 25 Jesus says that individuals & nations will be judged by how they care for the poor & sick. Govt is shutdown bc GOP wants to throw 12-20 million low-income/disabled Americans off Medicaid. Bc the GOP uses Jesus as a prop, while despising His actual commandments.

we need to abolish this shit

The regime gets more deranged every day. A rightwing conspiracy theorist assassinated a Democratic lawmaker - which the attorney general presents as an example of leftwing political violence in order to justify an authoritarian crackdown on the opposition… We’re in incredibly dangerous territory.

It’s remarkable to realize Diane Keaton created a signature look and sensibility back in the 1970s and for about half a century continued to be a creative inspiration for how to be yourself in a world that tries so hard to put you in a box. Well done, Diane Keaton. RIP.

Sorry, is there a question here? 27 children died. Close the goddam camps if you can’t comply with safety measures. This isn’t the first time flash flooding in this zone has killed campers, just the most well known with the highest death toll. www.texastribune.org/2025/10/10/t...

Listening to Baba @africanacarr.bsky.social and @mrlamontking.bsky.social on @urbanviewradio.bsky.social speaking with the founder of this Roots 101 African American Museum www.roots-101.org

At some point, either local law enforcement is gonna have to arrest ICE agents or all the bluster in the world won’t matter.

My husband was detained by ICE today Juan Muñoz, an American citizen, father of 2, and local government official, was peacefully protesting w. other elected officials. He was assaulted and taken away I have had zero contact or updates since #SOS @duckworth.senate.gov @durbin.senate.gov

St. Louis deserves a leader who is built different. That’s why I’m running to represent Missouri’s 1st District in Congress. We need a fighter who will lower costs, protect our communities, and make life fairer. I’ll be that fighter. Join us: coribush.org

@jodyhamilton.bsky.social just FYI, that guy with the accent that just called @stephaniemiller.bsky.social & claimed he was doing trading ops in…Atlanta🙄 called @karenhunter.bsky.social show yesterday afternoon. He’s clearly a paid troll! I don’t believe he’s EVER served.

Hey @bellagerencser.bsky.social with a Z! I too had Covid…me, my husband, & our three 20something children ALL were down for the entire Labor Day week! I TOO still have sinus drainage, occasional sore throat, & ear pain! I’m still using Theraflu/NyQuil & I’m TIRED of being coughy & snotty!!

Must also give thanks to @rockymntnmike.bsky.social for having me singing EVERY time one of @stephaniemiller.bsky.social mooks are on tv or radio!!👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽🥰

Aghhh! @karenhunter.bsky.social I’m coming in late, as per usual, and just now hearing @johnfugelsang.bsky.social and singing his jingle from @stephaniemiller.bsky.social !! I love when my favorites hang out together!!👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽 just grabbed my audio copy of #SeparationOfChurchAndHate

And beware of false flags and planted evidence with this FBI in charge. Skepticism is in order.

What the survivors of the Holocaust I've spent a lot of time with have taught me is to ask yourself what your values are. In the face of uncertainty, we should all be speaking up and standing together to help preserve our democracy.

A white man is killed by what we assume to be another white man and now HBCUs are receiving threats. This fucking place. We cannot have a moment of peace. This has literally nothing to do with Black people, but here we are, being terrorized.

got clicks and paid bills. What causes me to shutter, is that Klein and Talarico are ostensibly on my side, and yet they feel far more sympathy for those who loved Kirk, than those who were harmed by him. As a Black woman, I am reminded that those kinds of white guys are not fighting for me.

They may be willing to cheer me on when I fight for them, but they will not fight for me. Noted.

Decrying violence against political opponents rings a bit hollow when you pull Secret Service protection from your political opponents.

I am equally confused how Black people got pulled into this

“Kirk & I were on different sides of most political arguments. We were on the same side of the continued possibility of American politics.” So it’s personal? B/c if you were a Black woman or transgender, Kirk would not imagine you having any role in the future of American politics.

In June, a Democratic state rep in Minnesota was murdered, and a state senator was shot. And a couple of days later, Trump said he wouldn't phone Gov. Walz, calling him "whacked out" and "a mess"

Political violence of every sort should be condemned and voices seeking to use the Kirk killing for political gain should NOT BE AMPLIFIED. @nbcnews.com @cbsnews.com @cnn-news.bsky.social @foxnews.com.web.brid.gy put our country & our safety over clicks.

@stephaniemiller.bsky.social my husband brought COVID home from work and has taken all of us down with it! The only one left standing is my daughter. I hope she remains well! At least, I get to watch you guys on a @jodyhamilton.bsky.social day instead of just listening at work!

New Mexico has issued a public health order that removes federal restrictions to COVID-19 vaccine access so that pharmacies in New Mexico can vaccinate people of all ages and risk profiles. Every state need to do this!

Lt. General Russel Honore IS an American HERO! He deserves way MORE appreciation and recognition for what he did, has done, and continues to do to this DAY!! God bless him forever!❤️🙏🏽

Lieutenant General Russel Honore’ was the person who single-handedly pulled all that together to save lives. I will never forget seeing bodies floating in the water and the interior of the Superdome, the only refuge.😭 Appointing Russel Honore’ was the best thing that GW Bush did in his presidency.

After Katrina Lt. General Russel Honore told the military that was called into New Orleans, to put down their f.....g guns. The military was there to help citizens not harm them. This message should be sent to every military person deployed to an American city.

I remember at the time watching RayNagin behave like a blank wall & I couldn’t understand why he seemed so completely un bothered. He seemed to have such FLAT affect. Now I’m seriously wondering, was this fucker on drugs?? WHY are you so UN concerned about these PEOPLE?? Thank GOD for Gen Honore!

@karenhunter.bsky.social I’m stuck laying around cuz my husband got our whole house sick w/ this cold! The RAGE I’m in yet AGAIN watching “come hell or high water” after already having watched “race against time”!!🤬🤬🤬 to hear some of these ppl say no one could have planned for this…I’m sorry, WHUT??

@stephaniemiller.bsky.social RFK JR sounds like he’s gargling a wet bag of rusty nails! That is especially horrific coming out of that boiled catchers mitt!

Why can’t people see that the level of incompetence in this administration has lead to irreparable harm & more is to come?!

SCOTUS is compromised & corrupted

This.

We are in a fascist autocracy NOW. Selfish, ignorant Americans who couldn't be bothered to vote refused to hear the alarm bells we were ringing. American democracy is way past the danger threat. We now have to get American democracy back. WAKE UP.

WAKE UP!!! TOOOOOOOOO late for then”high road”!!!! WAKE UP AND SAVE OUR DEMOCRACY! @Baldwin.Senate.Gov @govevers.wisconsin.gov @housedemocrats.bsky.social @democrats.org @democrats-judiciary.house.gov @senatedemocrats.bsky.social

This is the part where they're going to pretend every single one of us who were correct about "AI" for the past few years actually wasn't, because that would mean the media, tech executives and most of Wall Street were wrong.

As much as I'm enjoying Governor Newsome's mocking of our small-handed President, this is something we should hear from him about, in a serious way.

"Three people were killed in this crime, three human beings. We don’t know their names." Read KUT Austin's coverage of EJI's community remembrance work, in partnership with the Austin NAACP, that honors the victims of racial terror lynching.

If you have a student attending Howard: My new course, "The Black University" [AFRO 121-02] was finally listed as open for enrollment. I have seats available for a few students who want to join this class. This one, part of the larger work to #JailbreakTheBlackUniversity , going to hit different.

No. We are not doing this anymore. It is 2025. Usha Vance stays with her husband because she agrees with him. There is no evidence that she loathes him at all. Yale-educated women can be fascist too.

Just watched the NatGeo documentary on Katrina. It included a home video from a cookout full of white people, bragging about all the Black people they'd murdered as the survivors tried to get to safety. "Like a pheasant shootout." There's people who want to kill and ICE is recruiting them.

if you want to have a nice and relaxing sunday, do not watch the new Hulu documentary on Hurricane Katrina. if you want to shake with rage and anger over the total failure of this nation's government and media establishment, watch the Hulu documentary on Katrina (this is a recommendation)

Today is Dr. Benjamin E. Mays’ birthday! A true giant in education and civil rights, he mentored Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. and served as the sixth president of Morehouse College How can we carry forward his vision for education and justice today? @africanacarr.bsky.social @mrlamontking.bsky.social

Justin Jones was there to represent his constituents. He was not permitted into an event, showcasing a state sponsored project. Justin Jones, a state lawmaker, was kept outside the event for no reason other than he is black,

Oh also @jodyhamilton.bsky.social has your mom seen the Tik Tok craze about Annie? I’ve seen Mollys daughter & Tessie’s daughter in the last few weeks posting videos of their moms now! It’s precious & fun! I wish they would do a reunion show of some sort with everyone we are still blessed to have!
