Americans seem to forget all the ways they've been taken care of until they vote in a Republican majority that then cuts funding and shuts down the government. Self inflicted wounds all day.

Um, ICE just coldly shot an unarmed PRIEST in the head w a pepper ball when he (and everyone around him) clearly posed no threat.

For the crime of … complaining about government policy.

Core 1A speech.

With cameras rolling, they’re sniping priests for sport.

I feel like this photo of masked, armed men pepper spraying a pastor protecting his community is going to be a defining picture of this moment in America for a long, long time.

Peaceful protesters in Portland

Portland is not a war zone!

For anyone who needs to hear it today, please take extra good care of yourself.

Whenever Marxist intellectuals publish something I always think to myself - damn, if only this were filled with more sneering disdain and barely concealed anger at people who disagree with you for having the temerity to be wrong, maybe then we'd finally get Revolution? And yet they never deliver 😔

That would involve fact checking tho

Because the majority of people in this country are focused on their healthcare and grocery costs. Most people are worrying about their bills and not what some blue wave fbr resistance big account with podcaster dreams is saying. 2/

Don't know who needs to hear this (yes I do it's every white American), but there's a real good chance that your ancestors would have loved all this racially motivated policing that ICE is doing and you should sit with that for a while before saying stupid shit like, "This isn't who we are."

Remember being told that living in a blue state would not save you from the repercussions of the last presidential election?

Remember being willing to toss away the south which includes the majority of the Black population?

I do. 😞

If you could see me laughing at this bs. 😂

Riddle me this…why did said “Civil Rights Protester” move to 1 of the whitest states in America and not vote until he was in his 40s and it was only to vote for himself?

If he was so good at protesting why can’t he even write a social media post?

Do you

White people could totally and completely dismantle racism if they wanted to. In fact, research suggests this would require a mere 3.5% of white people.

Problem is, white ppl don’t comprehend how many other white ppl there are—you folks are upwards of 75% of the voting population.

Work together‼️

Here’s the thing...

None of this would be happening if folks stopped asking people in the minority to fix the problems the majority creates…EVERY ELECTION

So…who’s not up to the job? Who‘s problematic every election?

Work that bs out in the voting booth and stop wanting performative bs.

Or, to put it another way, as long as white Americans take refuge in their whiteness— for so long as they are unable to walk out of this most monstrous of traps-they will allow millions of people to be slaughtered in their name, and will be manipulated into and surrender themselves to what they will think of-and justify—as a racial war. They will never, so long as their whiteness puts so sinister a distance between themselves and their own experience and the experience of others, feel themselves sufficiently human, sufficiently worthwhile, to become responsible for themselves, their leaders, their country, their children, or their fate. They will perish (as we once put it in our black church) in their sins—that is, in their delusions. And this is happening, needless to say, already, all around us.

James Baldwin to Angela Davis in 1970, discussing white Americans:

For white men looking to go down this path, I'd recommend starting here.

As you hear the news coming out of SC, I’d like for everyone to remember how leftists and progressives.

Thought it was and still is a good idea to vote suppress the Democratic Party.

Essentially helping the GOP on its way to control over every branch of government.

DAILY DEMS DOING THE WORK, MAKING NOISE, AND FIGHTING BACK Day 253

Just a reminder, just cause Speaker Johnson put the House on, what feels like an indefinite recess, does not mean our Dems have stopped doing the work. It just means Rs are responsible for the legislative work being on hold.

Opinion | Enemies foreign and domestic: Inside the U.S. military's white supremacy problem The armed forces offers much to its members. But what happens when some in the ranks betray their oath?

The FBI warned about this 20 years ago.

This video of Chicagoans intervening to save a man from being abducted off the streets by ICE is making the rounds on Instagram.

Dr. Jane Goodall filmed an interview with Netflix in March 2025 that she understood would only be released after her death.

Seriously. I would trade in the 3 sequels for a another season. 😭

Who thinks foundational white supremacy has betrayed the American dream for every community that has helped build this country?

I cannot stress this enough, and I am tired of saying it: British white people, everything you are seeing in the US is coming here and you cannot watch Eurovision or Great British Bakeoff or sign petitions and think you can stiff-upper-lip or ignore your way out of this.

Learn to be UNCOMFORTABLE.

Americans have 400 days to save their democracy | Timothy Garton Ash I never thought I’d see fear spread so far and fast. Next year’s midterm elections are now crucial for the Democratic party – and for democrats everywhere, says Guardian columnist Timothy Garton Ash

“During seven weeks in the US this summer, I was shaken every day by the speed and executive brutality of President Trump’s assault on what had seemed settled norms of US democracy and by the desperate weakness of resistance to that assault.”

Kamala Harris warned us that Trump would turn the military against civilians. She warned us that he would pursue Project 2025. The media mocked her, but she was dead right about both.

White Women as a demographic voted for Trump three times in a row, and the number actually increased after Trump's SCOTUS appointees ripped away women's bodily autonomy.

When push comes to shove, White Women voted for an incompetent, bullying, abusive, criminal rapist over a qualified woman TWICE.

Dems urged by pollster to let Americans 'touch the stove' — and reap GOP consequences A Democratic pollster notes that it might be time to let Americans experience some tough love during the shutdown. Speaking to MSNBC on Friday, Cornell Belcher noted that in shutdown after shutdown, D...

I’m damn sure for letting them touch the stove🤷🏾‍♀️

Hell…touch it 3 or 4 times. This is the only way a lot of these folks are going to learn.
