Crockett: "All this administration cares about is protecting the powerful and protecting pedophiles. They will do anything to distract from that, including deciding to put up in the middle of Black History Month the most racist thing that we've ever seen come out of a White House."

Federal prosecutors in Minnesota were preparing to start a civil rights investigation into Renee Good’s shooting.

Then top administration officials intervened and ordered them to stop, triggering a wave of resignations in the process.

What is the regime trying to hide from us?

It really annoys me that the moral panic over e-bikes obscures the incredible impact they have had for disabled people.

this weekend, good friend told me his father - US Citizen - got stopped recently on the Hill by police (not MPD, thought it was Capitol police)

Had his ID but cop called ICE anyway - no reason for the stop or calling ICE except he's latino

Trans Youth Suicides Skyrocketed In UK After Care Drawdown; Government Covers It Up A Freedom of Information request to the National Child Mortality Database reveals that 22 trans children under 18 died by suicide in England in 2021-22 alone.

In an alarming development, it appears the UK Government covered up a massive spike in trans youth suicides after restrictions.

Then covered it up again when caught.

Now, after fighting for years, the data is public: trans suicide increased 5x in the country.

Although I don’t really want to see or hear that other show, it does point out the obvious BS that is mediocre white folks whining about how some person of color beat them out for a job. Maybe because they were MASSIVELY more qualified, like Bad Bunny vs whatever that was.

Here in Los Angeles we know this truth to our core. We are city of immigrants. Seeing Highland Park’s Villa’s Tacos on the Super Bowl stage was a proud moment for our city.

¡Qué orgullo!

Ended up watching the Super Bowl with a finance guy from Boston, a flight attendant from Memphis, and an auto exec from the Detroit suburbs and all I can say is we're gonna win in November.

I wondered what Bad Bunny would do with the Super Bowl stage, on the heels of the ICE OUT Grammys. Tonight he repeated “the only thing more powerful than hate is love,” adding “together we are America” and he showed us, with a stunning ode to Puerto Rican/Latin American culture. Bold & beautiful!🔥💪🏼

I will eventually shut up about this but Bad Bunny’s use of the power lines is an outstanding example of how to communicate about climate and energy issues. Not about who is the smartest nerd in the room and spewing numbers but about people’s actual lives. Genius.
