Iran’s leader and security council ‘still need to approve’ peace deal with US

ADDENDUM: I want to mention that White Springfield residents actually praised the riot—framing it as a "cleansing". The riot all but eliminated Black presence. Approximately 2,000 out of 3,000 Black residents were driven out of Springfield. #KeepItWoke talkafricana.com/the-1908-spr...

What you just read was not only about a race riot. It was the origin of the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People or the NAACP. The NAACP was formed on February 12, 1909. America's Avengers!🤜🏾🤛🏻 #KeepItWoke #DedicatedToTam✡️🕊 www.smithsonianmag.com/history/land...

and Scott Burton, a barber. Both men were lynched that night. Afterwards, the mob attacked the Black neighborhood known as 'The Badlands'—a name that I can say with certainty the Black residents did not come up with. Forty Black homes and 15 businesses were destroyed. (cont)

another jail in Bloomington, IL. Upon discovering that the men had been moved, the mob vented their anger upon two Black men who had nothing to do with the alleged crimes. One of the men was William Donnegan, a weathy shoemaker, (cont) www.zinnedproject.org/news/tdih/sp...

⚠️WOKE CONTENT⚠️™️ 🧵 A White woman's false accusation of rape sparked the Springfield Race Riot of 1908. It led to the start of a multiracial civil rights movement. Pull up a seat.🪑(cont) #ProudBlue #ResistanceRoots #USDemocracy #Voices4Victory blackpast.org/african-amer...

A good copy editor is worth their weight in gold. Mine is the freaking best. I just wrote something that is incredibly well known in my field and got back: "Got a source for this?" I do... but boy is it superb to be held to account every single time. #copyeditorsareprobablygods #katyaespecially

During the immigration raids in Minneapolis, Robert Rice (White Earth Ojibwe), the owner of Pow Wow Grounds, gave away thousands of pieces of hot fry bread to protestors and activists, keeping demonstrators warm and fed at a time of upheaval.

So the saying is,”The needs of the few or the one Outweighs the Needs of the Many” that’s it, Right?!? No, 5 million people have not been "lifted off" of food stamps, they have been thrown off. Call it what it is; Trump-sanctioned starvation. Pray about that in church.

Shut Delaney Hall down, NOW.   Today, @menendez.house.gov and I went to Delaney Hall because of the inhumane conditions we've been hearing about.   What I saw and heard is absolutely unacceptable.

💥 Horrific. Morning footage from Kyiv Ukraine after Russia poured ballistic missiles on civilian neighborhoods, targeting apartment buildings, schools, markets, and bomb shelters full of people. @radiosvoboda.org.web.brid.gy

omg this is insane

Tarrio was convicted of seditious conspiracy.

Trump can’t remember when he was president.

because I know y’all can’t click and read

Memorial Day is a U.S. holiday that’s supposed to be about mourning the nation’s fallen service members, but it’s come to anchor the unofficial start of summer and a long weekend of travel and discounts on anything from mattresses to lawn mowers.

I like how every data centre proposal has to include how it's not going to be as horrifying on the environment as you'd think rather than what societal benefit it'll provide in exchange for strangling the last of our dwindling resources

Will they be paying restitution for the damage they caused to the building out of their rewards??

Reminder that Trump cut your health care, food assistance, and emergency preparedness programs because they cost Americans "too much." So where does the $1 billion White House ballroom fall?

He’s getting rolled. I can’t wait to see what this is. It’ll either be JPCOA II (but with Trump’s signature, not that other guy) or it’ll be Trump selling the store to get a nickel. Either way, it’s going to be ridiculous.

We don't need a golden arch We don't need a ballroom with a hospital bunker We need a responsible president responsible Supreme Court or responsible Senate and House of Representatives and some understanding that government is for the people not against the people

There is no evacuation order for LA County at this time. For now, follow the news and local authorities for updates and stay alert. (2/2)

My office is monitoring the ongoing situation at the GKN Aerospace chemical plant in Orange County. I’m grateful to the Orange County Fire Authority for their response efforts and I’m praying for our fellow Californians in Orange County. (1/2)

Food is a basic human right. Food is a basic human right. Food is a basic human right. Food is a basic human right.

Ukrainian defenders are causing critical damage to the russian war machine. On the night of May 22-23, Ukrainian strike and maritime drones hit the Sheskharis oil terminal and Grushova oil storage depot in Novorossiysk region and the oil tanker "Chrysalis" on the Black Sea.

Here’s a thought — Maybe these people don’t deserve to be handsomely rewarded? (From NPR)

Poverty is a policy choice. Concentrated wealth is a policy choice. Inequality is a policy choice. None of it is natural or inevitable. Remember: We have the power to build a system that serves the many, not the powerful few.

How is this farce of a do nothing government still going on? It's as if the system that protects incompetent white men and women in power was built to protect incompetent white men and women to stay in power.

While we slept the DOJ deleted all press releases about charges against January 6 defendants: www.nbcnews.com/politics/jus...

The Montana Plan is bipartisan, common-sense, and one of the best opportunities in a long time to put Citizens United where it belongs: in the ashbin of history.

Remember: while you’re struggling to afford the rising cost of groceries, Trump’s allies are cashing in on his $1.8B slush fund.

🚨 The Trump DOJ has now moved to dismiss the seditious conspiracy case against Oath Keepers founder Elmer Stewart Rhodes III and several other Oath Keepers who participated in the January 6th insurrection — with prejudice — meaning the charges cannot be brought again.

Colbert has provided ample evidence with Only In Monroe that all the resources he had at The Ed was NOT what made him funny and worthy. He can literally go to a cable access channel, do the same thing, and still be funny and worthy. He doesn't need CBS. The Network was holding him back.

Stephen Colbert's first post–Late Show move: guest-hosting a public access show in Michigan. Jack White was the deadpan musical director. Steve Buscemi read a pizza ad. They ate hot dogs. The president is furious. As for Colbert? He seems just fine. www.motherjones.com/politics/202...

Only in Monroe! Thank you Stephen Colbert and Jack White for returning to Monroe, MI for a great Michigan conversation!

Stephen Colbert doing Only in Monroe is everything I love about America

One day after The Late Show on CBS ended, Stephen Colbert hosted a public-access show with musician Jack White in Monroe, Michigan.

The president of the United States of America can be the first one on this list.

Stephen Colbert is a national treasure: The day after his show was canned after 11 years by CBS to appease a tyrant, he shows up on the Monroe, MI public access channel where he did his first Late Show broadcast in 2015.

Georgia has one of the highest maternal mortality rates in the country — and Black mamas face the worst outcomes. I know that fear personally. That’s why I introduced the Blood Pressure MATTERS Act to help pregnant and postpartum patients access home blood pressure monitors and lifesaving care.
