Truman creates the Civil Rights Commission in 1946, specifically in response to attacks on returning Black veterans, which leads to the desegregation of the military, which causes the Dixicrat split of 1948. That's the pattern for the next 30 yrs of US politics right there.

ICE Wants to Build Out a 24/7 Social Media Surveillance Team Documents show that ICE plans to hire dozens of contractors to scan X, Facebook, TikTok, and other platforms to target people for deportation. #Pinks www.wired.com/story/ice-so...

Their efficacy was confirmed against LIVE viruses including Ebola, Marburg, Nipah, Hendra, SARS-CoV, SARS-CoV-2 (COVID-19), AND Middle East Respiratory Syndrome (MERS). The study has been published in Science Advances. YES, it is PEER-REVIEWED. • www.science.org/doi/10.1126/... 🧪🧵⬇️

GOOD NEWS! Researchers have made a HUGE breakthrough towards a UNIVERSAL antiviral. By targeting sugar molecules found on the surface of many viruses that SHARE structural similarities, they identified FOUR compounds that successfully BLOCKED infections from SEVEN different viruses.

BREAKING: Our client Mario Guevara, an Emmy-winning journalist detained by ICE in retaliation for livestreaming law enforcement activity, will be deported tomorrow to El Salvador. Mario and his family are being punished for his reporting. This cruelty is meant to stifle our free press.

This is evil.

What in the living *fuck* is happening to this country!?!

Why would you write this? The Democrats proposed a bill that used OUR tax money for US, and the GOP refused to vote for it. And Republicans control both houses of Congress. If they couldn’t negotiate a reasonable deal, it’s on them.

Zohran Mamdani: “If Netanyahu comes to deliver a speech at the United Nations General Assembly in New York next year while I am mayor, I will move to honor the ICC arrest warrant issued in The Hague against him — just as I would against Putin."

"If we lose hope, we're doomed." We must continue Dr. Jane Goodall's mission and all fight for the future of the planet.

These guys are the scum of the scum.

The ADL has become such an embarrassment. Cowards. "...the Anti-Defamation League is removing from its website the Glossary of Extremism and Hate, one of the organization’s signature anti-hate resources." jewishinsider.com/2025/09/adl-...

Forty text messages from organizations I never signed up for that take too much time to delete and report as junk. I miss important texts from friends and family. This has to change.

I had Covid in 2023 — and two weeks ago I was diagnosed with GravesDisease & TED. Make sure to get your updated vaccine. www.thyroid.org/patient-thyr...

Hundreds of people have vanished from ICE's system at the Everglades internment camp. Families don't know where their loved ones are. This isn't deportation, it's kidnapping. That's why I introduced the SUDEM Act to hold ICE accountable and make this info public.

Indeed. I’m reading The Hacienda right now.

Republicans under trump’s order are stealing House seats. We’re leveling the field. Prop 50 is California’s line of defense against Trump’s election rigging. #YesOn50

Shame on this university.

Mark your calendars! The in-person Winter Conference features keynotes from Meg Medina and Tiffany Jackson and a special interview with Jason Reynolds. Registration opens October 14. More information coming soon!

My husband - who is a historian - said something last night that has been in my mind ever since. He said, "the epilogue of 1984 is written in English - not Newspeak. It's meant to let you know that this story is over and in the end, we won."

I’m going back to reading The Hacienda by Isabel Cañas. This gothic horror will be a breath of air from what’s happening under this ethnic cleansing regime.

If you voted for him, you've done this.

2/ I stayed by Monica Moreta-Galarza, who was seeking asylum with her family, until she was discharged from the hospital. “Over [in Ecuador], they beat us there too. I didn’t think I’d come here to the United States and the same thing would happen to me,” she said in Spanish.

Because this administration thinks everyone believes the rules only matter when it helps “your side” (like they do), they are counting on Comey’s unpopularity to normalize this. Don’t let it. Whatever you think of him or his actions in the past, etc. this indictment is dangerous and an outrage.

Out of fucking control and if I were an elected Dem or running for office I’d be in front of every camera I could find telling America your prescriptions just got twice as expensive, your health insurance premiums are about to skyrocket from ACA subsidy cancellation, and oh the gov shuts down Wed.

Why Fascists Fear Teachers is officially a NYT Best Seller. Thank you to everyone reading this book. It’s both a warning about the life we can lose and a testament to the teachers trying to help young people and their families have a good life.

It is so funny that putting the release on hiatus probably made things worse for Apple than just letting it air with no fanfare (LIKE ALL APPLE TV SHOWS)

Wow — Italy and Spain have now both officially announced they're sending military ships to support the Gaza aid flotilla

Results from the trial have been released in a statement by the company uniQure. The data from the company HAS been shared with independent scientists for review to be published. • www.bbc.com/news/article... • www.globenewswire.com/news-release...

you’re never more than 10 feet away from someone texting “lol” with a completely expressionless face

Gifting this article because Warren is brilliant. www.nytimes.com/2025/09/22/o...

I keep saying, this guys numbers are TERRIBLE, he is VULNERABLE...now is the time for people to push back against Trumpism

Why did THE ASPEN INSTITUTE just remove "...Free, just and equitable society" from their mission statement? The left is their previous mission statement. The right is what they have now. This is shameful and pathetic caving to Trump and MAGA. Shameful.

PSA that all top Democrats social media comment sections but especially VP Harris are favorite targets of AI chatbots looking to drive their propaganda narratives.

It's all so fucking grim. Eugenics and misogyny all wrapped in one sold by disinformation that benefits grifters. I honestly don't know how we get out of this.

Leucavorin is filinic acid which is a form of folate but it is not the same thing as folic acid. That distinction will be lost on the public when the grifters start pushing folic acid. Going forward, mother's if autistic children will be blamed for not taking it despite no evidence that it works.

Do you understand that a huge portion of the wellness podcaster and influencer community is now going to be paid to push folic acid as a treatment for autism despite no actual evidence for it. This is a windfall for the supplements industry. It's all a grift.

Is the MTA going to do anything about this Jim Crow sht. ???!!!

For god’s sake, would one journalist please ask him to do the maths on one example!

BREAKING: SCOTUS Lets Trump Fire FTC Commissioner 🔗 open.substack.com/pub/michaelp...

SCOTUS must be expanded and reformed to restore our democracy

SCOTUS’s right-wing majority is handing Trump control of agencies that are meant to be independent and nonpartisan. They are using the shadow docket to rubber-stamp his authoritarian agenda. This is not how our democracy is meant to function. www.nytimes.com/2025/09/22/u...

REVEAL THE FACES

A man caged by ICE was found dead in his cell inside a Long Island jail 18 hours after arriving there.

I’m a U.S. citizen who was wrongly arrested and held by ICE. Here’s why you could be next. www.sfchronicle.com/opinion/open...
