How a hostile America undermined its Black WWII veterans Servicemembers were attacked, discredited, and shortchanged on GI benefits—with lasting implications.

Most white colleges wouldn’t accept Black students, and Black colleges didn’t have the capacity to handle the post-war demand—by 1947, as many as 50,000 qualified Black veterans had been turned away.

Voters Ousted This Pennsylvania Sheriff After He Signed Up to Collaborate With ICE - Bolts A populous, swing county replaced its GOP sheriff on Tuesday after months of controversy over his joining ICE’s 287(g) program. The Democratic winner promises he’ll end the contract.

A Republican sheriff in a swing county that Trump won by 0.1% signed a contract to help ICE, then lost last week by 11.

SAY IT TO THEIR FACES

The coordinated nature of this—none are facing voters in 2026—means that either Schumer approved it or failed in his job as Senate Majority Leader to stop it.

Dems voting "no" get zero credit until they demand a change in leadership. Schumer out as Leader, Durbin out as Whip.

Thank you for your work and for sharing these deeply personal insights. A lot of us are struggling in different ways right now. It helps to know we aren't alone.

The criminals in the Bush administration (e.g. Cheney) escaped punishment for their crimes. After we remove the Trump regime, we cannot repeat that mistake.

Good things are possible and we don’t have to settle.

1/19 "God bless America" was written by a Jewish immigrant from Russia. He wasn't Christian. He wasn't born a U.S. citizen. He wrote the song about a country that gave hope to the weary.

Much of the Christian nation revision happened in the 1950s as a way to distinguish from "godless" countries.

As usual, @jamelle has great takes.

This is an excellent take.

May Dick Cheney's family find peace. They have my sympathy.

In life, Dick Cheney was a monster who played a major role in destroying countless lives and our republic. He should have died in prison.

To every person who works for or contracts with ICE, DHS, and the rest of this fascist regime: It may take years, but justice will come for you.

Everett 13-year-old arrested by ICE and sent to Virginia detention facility By Marcela Rodrigues Globe Staff,Updated October 12, 2025, 44 minutes ago 31 A 13-year-old boy was arrested by ICE in Everett and sent to a juvenile detention facility in Virginia. A 13-year-old boy was arrested by ICE in Everett and sent to a juvenile detention facility in Virginia. A 13-year-old boy was arrested by Immigration and Customs Enforcement agents in Everett after an interaction with members of the Everett Police Department and sent to a juvenile detention facility in Virginia, according to his mother and immigration lawyer Andrew Lattarulo. The boy’s mother, Josiele Berto, was called to pick her son up from the Everett Police Department on Thursday, the day he was arrested. After waiting for about an hour and a half, she was told her son was taken by ICE, Berto told the Globe in a phone interview. “My world collapsed,” Berto said in Portuguese. From the police department, the boy was taken to ICE’s holding facility in Burlington on Thursday evening, where he spent a night before being transferred by car to the Northwestern Regional Juvenile Detention Center in Winchester, Va., on Friday morning, his mother said. The juvenile facility is more than 500 miles away from Everett. The boy is a 7th-grader at Albert N. Parlin School in Everett, his mother said. The teen and his family, who are Brazilian nationals, have a pending asylum case and are authorized to work legally in the United States, Lattarulo said.

ICE kidnapped a 7th-grader with a pending asylum claim and spirited him out of state without notifying his parents, seemingly with the cooperation of the local police in Everett, MA.

God speaks.

Obviously, that is letting them off easy, since treason is a capital crime.

Every Trump regime official should die in prison.

Fellow flotilla activists are alleging Greta Thunberg was horrifically mistreated in Israeli detention.

If this is how Israel treats a high-profile detainee like Greta Thunberg, I want you to consider how they treat Palestinian detainees.

You don’t have to imagine it. It’s been widely documented:

eventually politicians need to start advocating for criminal and civil penalties for people involved in fabricating stories to get citizens incarcerated.

or, put another way: a society that would like to keep functioning has to discourage baldfaced lying, especially by authorities

I do not regret to inform you that we are going to win

Or are they going to shoot one of their own to excuse a Ghorman Massacre like in Andor?

Americans like freedom and Americans are pro-family.

MAGA is against both. The Trump regime takes sadistic joy in breaking up families and hurting kids.

Hot take: Most people are pro-freedom and anti-dictatorship.

Meanwhile, the MAGA regime proves every day that they are anti-freedom and pro-dictatorship. The horrors in Chicago are the latest example.

If local police won't enforce the law against federal goons, then fuck the police.

THE 21st CENTURY:
HUMANITY: Hmm, climate change is a real problem but we're starting to reach the point where most of us acknowledge that something needs to be done.
A.I. DEVS: HEY WE INVENTED THIS GREAT THING THAT EATS FORESTS AND CRAPS OUT GARBAGE, IT ALSO STOPS YOUR BRAIN WORKING

I hate it here

They took these US citizens naked and put them in zip ties and threw them in a van.

How many steps are there between *where we are now* and *mass graves*?

This dramatically misprepresents the article. Atkins is not arguing for naive optimism. He's arguing against giving up.

Since the Ezra & Ta-Nehisi discussion is still happening: the main point I think most are missing is that Klein is saying the role of the journalist-intellectual is to do strategic politics, whereas Coates says the role of the journalist-intellectual is to tell the truth
