NBC just gutted the very teams that gave marginalized voices a seat at the table—then called it “restructuring.”

The cuts:

📌NBC BLK (Black community coverage)

📌NBC Latino (Latino community coverage)

📌NBC Asian America (Asian American community coverage)

📌NBC Out (LGBTQ+ community coverage)

Now hear this!

I can't wait for the first one to be handcuffed!👮‍♂️🚨 #NoKings #NoICE

A Message to Terry Moran from MeidasTouch By Ben Meiselas

Terry Moran, if you’re reading this: the door is open.

Harris County spent $1.8 million to defend Xavier Davis in death penalty trial Harris County spent nearly $2 million in taxpayer funds to defend Xavier Davis from the death penalty, court records show, but the true cost is likely hig

Death penalty supporters often say it is cheaper than life in prison. That is untrue -- and it's not even close.

Just the cost of the DEFENSE for a death penalty trial in Houston came out ~$1.8m. That doesn't include prosecution, witnesses, appeals, etc. www.houstonchronicle.com/news/houston...

No one experiencing the tragedy of a miscarriage should be arrested, much less abandoned in jail for 5 months with a $100k bond. But that’s exactly what happened to Mallori Patrice Strait in Texas. Women, particularly women of color, in this country are no longer allowed dignity even in extreme loss

Warnock: You literally have, in real time, the leader of another nation-state—in this case, South Africa—there to talk to him about trade, and he’s saying, “Sorry, Mr. President, we don’t have a plane to offer you.” And you see why we have an Emoluments Clause in the first place.

The “big, beautiful” bill ain’t beautiful—it’s bullshit.

House Republicans just voted for the largest cut to SNAP & Medicaid in U.S. history—turning their backs on their own damn constituents: the working people they were sent here to represent.

They don’t serve the people. They serve the rich.

An affable looking older white lady with a cute short gray haircut sits in my living room with two dogs surrounding her. My dogs Mellie (the docker... maybe chiweenie?) and Sammy ( the bald ass chihuahua with alopecia.) Sammy is sitting in the back of the chair in a very fetch Eddie Bauer dog sweater (I found it at a thrift stores) and Mellie appears to be trying to crawl into my mom's armpit.)

My parents came over yesterday to watch the nuggets and my dogs tried to crawl into my mom's skin lol #barkfestclub
