In honor of Black History Month, here's a thread with one book recommendation a day.
NEW: Former Trump advisor Steve Bannon announced “we’re going to have ICE surround the polls come November,” and told Democrats they’re not going to “steal the country again.”
The comments come amid rising concerns that Trump is plotting to interfere in this year’s midterms. https://bit.ly/3O6AIBY
This is absolutely insane: DHS claims the right to subpoena your emails and to send investigators to your house. In this case, because a retiree sent the mildest possible criticism to a prosecutor. No judges involved.

U.S. immigration officials have imposed quarantines and stopped all movement inside a family detention facility in Texas after two measles cases were confirmed among detainees there, a DHS official said on Monday.
NEW: @joaquincastrotx.bsky.social is calling for Dilley Immigration Center to be “shut down immediately.”
Dilley released Liam Ramos. But hundreds of children who remain in the facility are facing a measles outbreak. The highly contagious disease can be deadly.

I wrote this song on Saturday, recorded it yesterday and released it to you today in response to the state terror being visited on the city of Minneapolis. It’s dedicated to the people of Minneapolis, our innocent immigrant neighbors and in memory of Alex Pretti and Renee Good.

“The country with the Statue of Liberty deprived us of our liberty without any kind of evidence,” Leonardo José Colmenares Solórzano, a 31-year-old Venezuelan who was held in CECOT for months, said two days after he was returned to his family.

He goes on to describe one of his officers being stopped when she was off-duty solely because she's non-white, harassed by ICE goons who slapped her phone out of her hand as she tried to record, only to be let go when she finally revealed she was a cop.
The entry to the Mexican restaurant (Don Julio) in my hometown of Forest Lake MN that closed as a result of ICE has become a shrine. Two-thirds of voters in Forest Lake supported Trump in 2024.
If you are a faith leader, we need you to come to Minneapolis!

‘Lorde offered a politics that dealt in the realities of survival as well as the necessity of defiance: she refused to give ground to white feminists or to a Black nationalism that assumed women’s subservience.’

My latest in the new edition of Hammer and Hope.
