Today marks the birthday of the great American writer and Nobel Prize winner Toni Morrison (2/18/1931-8/5/2019). A new collection of her work was published this month... Language as Liberation: Reflections on the American Canon. More about that book here: https://twp.ai/4iuvjJ

Statement from Oscar-winning director Hamdan Ballal: This afternoon, nearly a year after we won the Oscar, the same settler who attacked me shortly after l returned from Los Angeles-Shem Tov Lusky-again led an attack against my home and my family. Four of my family members are currently arrested and one is in the hospital. I invite all journalists and diplomats to come visit me and my family this Tuesday, February 17, to hear about how the situation has gotten worse in the year since we won the Oscar, as it has across the West Bank. Email me to coordinate your visit: hamdanalhrane90@gmail.com Two weeks ago we managed to get a decision from the Israeli court that the area around my home is closed to non-residents, but the settlers break that order and still come with their flocks almost every day. We call the police, they do nothing. The army comes, they do nothing. Today, Shem Tov Lusky-the settler who attacked me in my home shortly after I won the Oscar last year-came with his flock to my home. My brother called the police to report the incursion. The army came first and immediately raided our house, attacking everyone inside. Then they arrested two of my brothers, a nephew, and cousin. Another brother was badly injured and is now in the hospital. The Israeli court decision was supposed to make things a bit quieter for us. But the opposite has been true. The settlers have ramped up their harassment and the Israeli authorities have done nothing to enforce the decision, and today they joined the settlers in the attack. 8 hours ago

From Hamdan Ballal, co-director of last year’s Oscar-winning documentary “No Other Land.” This is happening now.

Chicago teen whose father was detained by ICE while she fought cancer dies The Torres family story came to public attention after the teen’s father was detained at a Home Depot in Niles.

On Nov. 16, a mental health counselor recorded in Kamilla’s medical records that her mother reported the girl had lost her appetite after being “served food that contained worms.” A week later, the couple said, children were told to gather in the gym for what they believed would be a Thanksgiving celebration. Excitement spread as families saw tables set with turkey, sandwiches, pastries and pies, they said. The children waited expectantly. But when a parent asked when the celebration would begin, Oksana said, staff told them the holiday meal was for employees, not detainees. The children, she said, watched despondently as the feast was packed away.

On Thanksgiving, the immigrant children held at the Dilley detention center gathered in the gym for what they thought was a holiday feast.

The kids salivated over a spread of turkey, sandwiches, pastries and pies, a family told me.

But the food wasn’t for detainees — it was for the staff.

Hahaaaa

Y'all know y'all could just...not buy more Sims 4 packs, right?

Hahaaa

You could just...not play it anymore if you hate it?

If you love Sims 2 and 3 more, you can still just...go play it? Now? Currently?

No one is stopping you?

It's the small indignities and unequal application of rules that can chip away at you and they know it...

KILL IT.

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."

so much of our present misery is just a giant, prolonged backlash to integration

Ossoff: "You're seeing what I'm seeing, right? The president posting about the Obamas like a Klansman."

So incredibly pathetic to let a Russian asset lead your party because your policies are so terrible that the only way to enact them is to destroy the country.

Bye.

You can leave anytime, bookie bear.

Ok, cool.

This so fucking stupid lolll.

Sorry to your ppl, but like, YOU could could go help them, instead of expecting a woman they've never met, who is not in government anymore (which you voted for to be true) to fix their systemic issues. Y'all literally set her up to not be able to directly help y'all.

Grow up, then. Then step to the adult table with actual solutions that can be implemented factoring in the wholw of a nation made up of 300mill+ people, knowing that we aren't in some utopic political process that needs just one figure to fix it all. Take responsibility and stop whining.

You know nothing more about this endeavor besides the video posted and you already spiraled into accusing her of grift, ignoring anything actually said. Sit with that.

Ok so media companies are inherently selfish, is your premise? Helpful.

Y'all have to know she isn't in an elected position anymore. Y'all HAVE to know this, right?

Push legislation WHERE?! Grassroots, whyyyy when her influence was national already?

THINK.

It literally says Gen Z, my guy. That you? Are you the new cohort of voter we need to shift away from conservatism?

Now me? I would never repost my own scathing setdown, but as you can see, this is a diamond-level dummy.

Their insistance that their non-vote for Harris was the anti-facist, Palestine-freeing, true progressive choice in the face of it factually leading to the exact opposite results is...something to behold.

They learned nothing, and refuse to drop the bigotry and obtuseness blinding them.

Useless.

They crawled out like roaches, not even joking

Watch all the racists, masquerading as progressives, come crawling out to scream and squall after being dead silent the past year about...oh, everything.

“You’re Not Going to Investigate a Federal Officer” It doesn’t happen often, but local law enforcement can arrest and charge federal agents. Legal experts say there’s a moral obligation to at least try to hold federal immigration officers accountable w...

NEW: Local police did not open investigations into six of the 12 shootings by on-duty federal agents that have led to the deaths or injuries of citizens and immigrants since September, a ProPublica analysis found.

Marimar Martinez talks about being shot by CBP: “My arms, legs, and chest were all wrapped in bandages. I had 7 bullet holes in my body. I remember the agents rushing the nurses to finish up so they could take me with them.”

In an interview with NPR, Melinda French Gates confirmed that she ended her marriage with Bill Gates because of allegations contained in the Epstein files.

every epstein file drop underscores how elite power operates through shared socio-economic networks, regardless of people's ideological differences, populist posturing, or public feuds
