Bro literally came out and said β€œit’s our labor and culture that has always made the Americas great: y’all are just the beneficiaries of slave owners from sea to shining sea,” and I am here for it.

Do you know how many of our families cut sugar cane? For Americans to put in their cakes and tea while our cousins were forced to cultivate cotton and tobacco in their fields?

That is the story of so many of our families

please remember that no matter how many β€œICE is losing in MN” articles you read today, there is still a very real, urgent, ongoing crisis in Minnesota.

people need food and they need rent money. that has not changed.

Remember the other day when I was saluting my friend Greg Ketter, owner of Minneapolis’ DreamHaven Books? This is him the following day. Greg will never say this, so I will β€” now is a great time to buy books from DreamHaven. Support Americans who stand up vs. 🧊. dreamhavenbooks.com

there is a reason why you are HEARING about the things that happen in this area. this community has a ton of organizers. they are oriented towards action. they stand up for their neighbors.

and because of all of that, and because they are also mostly BIPOC and poor, they are targeted by pigs.

The U.S.-Venezuela-Guyana Oil Triangle The U.S. interest in Venezuela isn’t just about the oil there, but also about the oil next door in Guyana, and the U.S. oil companies that have staked their future on it.

Something I see a lot of folks missing in discussions about what's happening Venezuela, particularly around oil, is the role U.S. oil majors' interest in Guyanaβ€”and the threat Venezuela posed to itβ€”has in all of it. Explainer here: drilled.media/news/guyana-...

This is a nice story about how libraries change lives.

OCLC loves to act like they're performing a great service out of a love for libraries. But OCLC is just performing extraction, and they'll happily remind anyone in court who forgets that.

β€œEven God Cannot Hear Us Here”: What I Witnessed Inside an ICE Women’s Prison Tufts University doctoral student RΓΌmeysa Γ–ztΓΌrk opens up about her 45 days in a South Louisiana processing facilityβ€”and the generous and compassionate women she met.

RΓΌmeysa is one of the kindest, most compassionate people I have ever met. Many of you came to know her first and foremost as an ICE abductee, seized by a state that wanted to strip her of her humanity. I would like for you to know her in her own words, which are resoundingly human.

This is so so sad.

And I don’t see many people talking about the student loan shit they jammed in that bill. They’ve ensured only the rich can go the college. They capped the amount you can borrow over 4 years AND cut Grad Plus loans (which is how I paid my rent during law school).

Also there's no need to obscure US history of barbarism. Some folks always want to reach for Holocaust comparisons like there's not a guard tower from Angola in the Blacksonian, like camps used to hold Japanese Americans were a picnic.

They gave detainees wormy food. The facilities were filthy.

To note: the legislative session just wrapped up and their districts aren’t competitive.

Rep. Melissa Hortman is the most visible woman in Minnesota state politics. She’s the speaker emerita and the leader of the DFL House Caucus. She is not just a random member of the house.

What's fucking chilling is the cop SEES the reporter very clearly doing her journalistic duty, nonviolently.

Stares right into the camera, aims, fires.

This was an intentional assault on a visible member of the press.
