Today, Pam Bondi offered a forceful defense of the victim named repeatedly in the Epstein files

This is it.

Pam Bondi's sole job.

Protect Trump, criminals, and pedophiles.

Rep. Delia Ramirez to DHS officials: "I have as much respect for you as I do for the last white men who put on masks to terrorize communities of color. I have no respect for the inheritors of the Klanhood and the slave patrol. Those activities were criminal and so are yours."

These lil AI commercials reek of desperation.

Benito is a threat b/c he makes art so alluring and enjoyable you want to understand everything about it and then you end up learning about sugar and slavery and colonialism and the Taínos and Hawaii and then you probably have some thoughts of your own, and that's why art is powerful and dangerous

When he gave the Grammy to that young boy who made everyone think of Liam…even if that wasn’t actually Liam, it was just the perfect way of cutting through all the bullshit.

Every kid impacted by this administration’s cruelty is another Liam.

No Kings includes Draft Kings

A number of abolitionists have worked for years to successfully close a number of jails and prisons in the US. Too bad *reformers* have nothing to learn from them especially in this moment.

FWIW this is more or less how white conservatives destroyed multiracial democracy after emancipation. That & paramilitary violence, but of course they would never... oh yeah they're doing that too.

Cause we have a long history of monstrous behavior perpetrated by powerful white men, and we call it freedom. White supremacy is a hell of a drug.

Our founders, though deeply flawed, understood that democracy requires an informed citizenry and a government accountable to it people. That’s why the press is the only profession protected by the Constitution. It’s also why autocrats and oligarchs seek to control and destroy it.

We gotta come up with a better system than “everything rests on whether these twelve billionnaires are nice”

Moulton: This is state-sponsored terror. This is what you would expect to see in North Korea or Iran or the old Soviet Union. We’ve got to crack down on the government before they crack down on the American people.

That was mad specific! I miss the Chi.

Attorneys for man killed by off-duty ICE agent call on California A.G. to investigate Attorneys for Keith Porter Jr. — who was shot and killed by an off-duty ICE agent on New Year's Eve — called for California Atty. Gen. Rob Bonta to take over the investigation of the incident, claiming the LAPD won't conduct a fair review.

We have to have a tax strike- blue states withhold giving taxes to the feds. I’m sure they’d change their tunes pronto.

As Black History Month begins, we honor the generations of Black New Yorkers who built this city into the “gorgeous mosaic” we call home.

Today, we reflect on the words of Mayor David Dinkins: our city’s first Black mayor (and a democratic socialist!).

I kicked off Black History Month in Corona at the home of Louis Armstrong, who lived in our city for more than 30 years. Walking through his house and hearing how much New York meant to him was a powerful reminder of what this city owes to Black artists and culture.

“There’s no single answer that will solve all our future problems. There’s no magic bullet. Instead there are thousands of answers—at least. You can be one of them if you choose to be.”

Epstein is the most garish and harrowing manifestation of this but oligarchy makes life miserable in a thousand other ways. A core point of democracy is that no one should have so much power that they can make themselves everybody's problem. We should have a political party that believes that

The Epstein emails should really end the debate over whether society should have billionaires. "Do you want there to be a class of people so powerful they can fuck your kids and no one will even try to do anything" seems like an easy sell if everyone in politics wasn't trying to get on their payroll

I get tired of saying it, but I’ll say it again: the nature of oppression in America is that they workshop it first on Black, Latino, Asian & Native people.

But it is always, in the end, coming for everyone.

The arrests of Don Lemon, Georgia Fort, and Jamael Lundy are unacceptable and a clear violation of the Constitution.

This is a dangerous abuse of power that threatens the rights of every single American.

They must be released immediately.

The arrests of journalists Don Lemon and Georgia Fort are a test for every MSM member with a platform. If you are not voicing your outrage at this blatant violation of the First Amendment, you are utterly discredited as a journalist.

Cheeky Molly!

friend of mine is an undocumented immigrant and has been hiding in Melania theaters bc he knows people assume no one is in there

"Non-lethal" force sure looks dangerously close to lethal.
