Trump threatens 'Apocalypse Now' style action against Chicago to boost deportations President Trump threatened the city with the deportation of undocumented immigrants, posting a reference to the film Apocalypse Now with the quote: "I love the smell of deportations in the morning."

And communities that most suffer under more militarization and policing are our Black and Latine communities.

The call for national guard and ICE in Chicago is showing us how the narrative of a violent city and too much immigration are very intermingled. Chicago has been framed as violent for a long time and now it's intersecting with anti-immigration ideology.

El Grito Chicago Called Off As ICE Agents Sent To City: 'We Need To Keep Our Community Safe' The popular Mexican Independence Day festival in Grant Park this weekend was called off in consultation with state and city officials amid threats of widespread ICE raids.

Just endless terror for our immigrant communities.

At @socialstudies.org Leader Institute, our guest speakers included @mcdonaldforkansas.bsky.social & Dr. Allen Reavis, both KS State legislators. Was able to share that my great-grandmother, Minnie Grinstead (โ€œThe Lady From Sewardโ€) was the 1st female KS state legislators. #ncssnetwork

Great, non-screen-based reading idea.

These are our two U.S. senators.

Mississippi hasn't had a Black U.S. senator since 1881, despite electing the first two Black senators in U.S. history: Hiram Revels + Blanche K. Bruce.

After Reconstruction ended, white supremacists went to work to permanently destroy Black political power in MS.

This is in Mississippiโ€”the state with the largest Black population by percent.

Nearly 4-in-10 Mississippians are Black. Yet we have "Confederate Heritage Month" and "Confederate Memorial Day."

Oh, and our 8 statewide elected state officials look like this.

Mississippi Governor Declares April Confederate Heritage Month Gov. Tate Reeves declared April 2025 as Confederate Heritage Month in Mississippi, keeping alive a 32-year-old tradition that began in 1993.

NEW: Mississippi Gov. Tate Reeves has declared April 2025 as Confederate Heritage Month.

He did so at the behest of the Sons of Confederate Veterans, a neo-Confederate organization that espouses โ€œLost Causeโ€ ideology, which whitewashes the role of slavery in the Civil War. ๐Ÿงต

Mentally substituting "civil rights" everywhere I see "DEI" is quite clarifying

Leaked memo: DOGE plots to cut Social Security phone support Changes could break the system, former officials say.

So it appears DOGE has decreed that Social Security administration will no longer provide phone support. At all. This is in addition to shutting down a ton of local SSA offices. www.axios.com/2025/03/17/s...
