Mainstream communication does not want women, particularly white women, responding to racism. It wants racism to be accepted as an immutable given in the fabric of your existence, like evening-time or the common cold. - Audrey Lorde

Iโ€™m so exhausted that this will be the big one that ends Trumpโ€™s corruption! The next day will be this is it, & so on! We have been dealing with this sociopathic narcissist for a DECADE and NOBODY is stopping him! All we hear is the repetitive crimes Trump & his goons have committed, still Nothing!

We've seen the mock-ups. That is not "refurbishing", it's demolishing and replacing with a gaudy gold plated eyesore.

It's not expected to be completed until Jan 2029. The confidence that he has that he'll be able to enjoy it thereafter tells you everything you need to know about what they're doing today.

He says he and donors are paying, yet suddenly states the DOJ owes him $250 million..... tax payer money.

Lil Johnson is mentally ill.He thinks that putting this off will somehow,someway stop the release.But,let me make this very clear & I've been right on many predictions..they r REDACTING THE FILES.That takes time. Don't expect much when/if they r released. We NEED THE VICTIMS LISTS. TRUE.UNREDACTED

LAPD turns out in force to Westlake CARE+ operation: โ€˜We were raided, treated like criminalsโ€™ LA Councilmember Eunisses Hernandezโ€™s constituents confronted her staffer, after Los Angeles Police Department officers showed up in large numbers right before a CARE+ encampment sweep that her office...

Some of this funding was later reallocated to patrolling tiny shed villages, but a large portion now funds LAPD overtime for sweep enforcement.
Just last week, cops violently raided the Mountain View encampment the morning of a sweep. thelareporter.la/p/lapd-turns...

Chart from Human Right Watch's You Have to Move report that shows 99 to 100% of citations and arrests for charges like sitting on the sidewalk, leaving personal property in public, cannabis regulation, working as a hired driver without a license, drinking in public, and possession of a shopping cart targeted unhoused people.

For context, a federal court found LAPD violated constitutional rights of Skid Row residents by using minor infractions like jaywalking as an excuse to search people and take them to jail.

On Wednesday, City Councilโ€™s Housing & Homelessness Committee (chaired by Nithya Raman) agendized LAPD's request for $4.4 million in additional overtime.
If approved, cops will get paid $105.08/hour to target and criminalize unhoused people at encampment raids and near shelters.

Jeffries: "You've got Leavitt, who's sick, she's out of control. I'm not sure if she's just demented, ignorant, a stone cold liar, or all of the above. But the notion that an official WH spokesperson would say that the D Party consists of 'terrorists, violent criminals & undocumented immigrants'..."

Federal workers are our family, friends, and neighbors. They are also real life heroes. Curing cancers, keeping planes on safe routes, stopping mass threats to our safety and security, keeping corporations from poisoning our water, protecting our parksโ€ฆ โค๏ธ them back! 2 crises. 1 vote.

All the press reporters have handed in their press badges to the Pentagon, even Fox propaganda News handed in their press badges. The regime is losing control. We the People are fighting back. The regime is going to increase the violence to try to get us back down. Don't stop the resistance.

Johnson: "Grijalva should be working for her constituents right now. I don't know what she's doing. I keep seeing their political stunt videos. She should be in her office.

I am sounding the alarm that the GOP is engaged in an all out attack voting rights and free and fair elections. Voter suppression, gerrymandering, and troops in blue cities are just some of the ways they are using to try to rig the rules to keep power in 2026 and beyond.

Pay attention and act!

Send It On D'Angelo Instrumental
YouTube video by I am bald so what? Send It On D'Angelo Instrumental

"Send It On" has been my favorite D'Angelo track since I got my hands on the Voodoo CD back in the winter of 2000. Co-written with Angie Stone, and (IIRC) dedicated to their son. ๐Ÿ–ค

(Much love to Kool and the Gang for gifting us with "Sea of Tranquility" back in the day.)

Q: We've seen images out of Chicago of federal agents shooting faith leaders with pepper balls and arresting journalists. Where's the limit for you on what's acceptable conduct by federal agents?

MIKE JOHNSON: I've not seen them cross the line yet.
