I cannot sufficiently underline how despicable it is that the IOC has required Haitian Olympic athletes to remove an image representing the leader of the Haitian Revolution (against SLAVERY) from their uniforms.

Why Cops Frequently Got Caught Planting Drugs in 2017 Look. All technology comes with a learning curve.

Cops were frequently getting caught planting drugs in 2017 because body cameras were new and many of them didn't understand how the technology worked.

When cops hit "record" it saved the 30 seconds from *before* they hit the button. Eventually, they figured it out.

Something just utterly surreal about all of the last week taking place against the backdrop of the Melania theatrical release.

The people defending the murder of Alex Pretti are Exhibit A of why you can never appeal to MAGA’s sense of humanity. It doesn’t exist.

Yes. They Just Didn’t Think Those Americans Would Be White

All the anti-war and anti-occupation protestors were right. All the far leftists were right. All the “woke scolds” and your friend who’s “too woke” were right. They were somehow even more right than they may have realized at the time. But really, it was always obvious they were right.

Fuck ICE and anyone who stands with them

Disabled son of ICE detainee dies after 30 days of hospitalization It had been months since Wael Tarabishi seen his father. The family is calling on ICE to release Maher Tarabishi so he may attend his son's funeral.

there are so many gutting stories, but this one is hitting me extra hard. just imagining wael tarabishi slowly dying without his dad there to care for him because he was jailed by ICE makes me…i don’t have words. this country is disgusting.

The grimness of US history should encourage us. Yes, people used to send lynching postcards. And other people saw that, worked towards building a more just society anyway, and succeeded beyond anyone's wildest imagination. There's more work to be done. What's our excuse for choosing despair instead?

A masked ICE officials with a 5 year old child

This guy went to work today, put a mask on, kidnapped a 5 year old child, and then used him as bait so both he and his father could be sent behind bars

Seriously, if you had pulled me aside back in 2004, and told me a President far worse than Bush was coming soon, I'd have said "no fucking way, and give me a toke of whatever you have there."

And I am not a person who lacks imagination.

one of the weirdest things about the current moment is how the national media have to pretend like they don't know what this is about. official government social media accounts are posting about racially cleansing America and they have to pretend like it's not clear who the bad guy is.

The anti government militias were never anti government, they just hate Black people.

Remember, when Vance was caught spewing racist lies that Haitian immigrants were eating people's pets, he admitted that "if I have to create stories so that the American media actually pays attention to the suffering of the American people, then that's what I'm going to do."

Proudly, openly a liar.

I don't like the death squads

On Feb 3 TPS is being terminated for Haitians in this country. People here for decades. People who are students, workers, whose kids are here. At least 330,735 people impacted.

Haiti is not safe. That's why TPS exists in the first place.

I cannot begin to express the rage I feel.

Went from a black majority city (dc) to a hispanic majority city (san antonio) and white people weren't being massacred in either. But that doesn't let you fantasize about or justify mass murder, so bsky.app/profile/polp...

What is the scenario that would lead to someone from the Federal Government saying, "OK, yeah, *that* shooting of a civilian was bad."

Can you even conceive of it? I cannot.

The “prosecute the former regime at every level” candidate has my vote in 2028.

masked, unidentified goons who assault and murder with impunity. a literal gestapo.

Great day to have functioning eyes and a working brain

Five years ago, this great moment was captured on video:

If you let him get away with this, he’ll do it with Iran and whatever other neocon bugaboos have been lingering around conservative media since Obama first started running. Maybe Greenland but less intense because white. One of them will invariably respond in the mainland U.S. Stop him before then.

Remember, this is all worth it to them so they can say the r-slur again.

Original broadside printing of the Haitian Declaration of Independence. The document is titled "Liberté ou la Mort" and "Armée Indigène," and it is held by the National Archives of the United Kingdom (call number MFQ 1/184).

On January 1, 1804, revolutionaries established the independent country of Haiti, the first nation to permanently ban slavery. As we begin a year engulfed by the 250th anniversary of the US Declaration of Independence, it’s worth reading the Haitian Declaration of Independence in full. 🇭🇹
