70 years ago, on this date, Emmett Till was kidnapped and brutally murdered by white men.

His family, including his cousin who was with him at the time, is repeating the train ride he took from Chicago to Mississippi in 1955 to mark the anniversary

If someone tells you there's nothing we can do about gun violence beyond thoughts and prayers, remind them:

—Gun laws in other countries have prevented mass shootings
—More guns don't make us safer
—A majority of Americans want gun reform

We don't have to live like this.

davis says the mayoral race isn’t a binary race, much as mayor frey wants it to be. tells voters not to “disempower themselves” by viewing this as a two person race or only ranking one candidate

This Weekend, We Saw the UK Descend Into Censorship, Brutality, and Authoritarianism Keir Starmer and Yvette Cooper's government arrested elderly protesters, a blind man using a wheelchair, and others – all in the name of providing diplomatic cover for a genocidal regime.

Aging members of the original DFL Feminist caucus who once bucked a hostile environment to advance abortion rights now actively campaign against Councilmembers Wonsley & Chughtai, who got the city to allocate money for abortion funds to help people forced to travel here for care post-Dobbs.

@amyklobuchar.com will you finally demonstrate some moral courage and authority and support ending military aid to israel?

Would you have guessed *any* of that with how the media has covered all this?

ICE agents are harassing the courthouse volunteers who assist besieged immigrants "They want to be doing this with no witnesses."

“They don’t want anyone to see how they treat people. They want to be doing this”—their deportations—”with no witnesses.”

The President—who uses antisemitic slurs—is building concentration camps and an enormous secret police force.

Ya know, maybe this is just because I’m Jewish, but I wish the political opposition and the media made a bigger deal about it!

Right now, Dems are hiding in their offices, scrolling their phones fearfully, wondering "how are voters going to feel about the National Guard being deployed?"

The right, meanwhile, is vigorously *attempting to shape* how voters feel about it, filling every medium with coordinated propaganda.

BREAKING: Federal agents in plain clothes and unmarked cars tried to snatch 1st graders from LA elementary schools—told staff they had “parental consent.”

They lied. When pressed, they HID THEIR IDS. DHS admits they sent them. This wasn’t a welfare check. It was a test run for a police state.

Look at the Minneapolis Police Dept, this is your public safety dollars at work. They show you this for a reason, they cynically believe nabbing the guy who stole your package or scratched your Tesla is more important than them shooting a protestor in the face with a 40 mm round.

Hey @mayorfrey.com you promised that you and the
MPD would not work with ICE and instead protect all of our communities. Once again you lied and instead align with the fascists. Shame on you!

Minneapolis.

A win! The Trump administration is backing off its demand that states hand over personal data on SNAP recipients after a lawsuit. In a sworn statement filed in federal court, the USDA said it is pausing its plan to build a national database of Americans receiving food assistance.

your energy actually is finite and spending time fighting about the former president while the current president is putting this country in a wood chipper seems like a bad use of it

30% tariffs are still going to crater the economy and destroy small businesses

Hasan Piker detained at the border and questioned for hours over politics "They straight up tried to get something out of me that I think they could use to basically detain me permanently"

“Hasan Piker detained at the border and questioned for hours over politics”

The free speech party is really the fascist party.

Library of Congress staff just showed what resistance looks like. After Trump abruptly fired Dr. Carla Hayden, the respected Librarian of Congress, he tried to install Todd Blanche, his former personal lawyer and current Deputy Attorney General, as acting librarian. Staff weren’t having it.

It’s actually pretty wild that these aren’t being reported together.

Why are ICE agents masked to begin with? Our law enforcement officers shouldn’t be anonymous. Ever.

WATCH: “That’s what this is all about.”

On IG LIVE @aoc.bsky.social just called out @CoreCivic and other private prison companies for profiting off these ICE detentions after donating big bucks to Trump (and other Republicans).

An all-too-familiar story for us here in Tennessee.

More Than One Dozen U.S. Citizens Detained in Immigration Enforcement Efforts More than one dozen citizens have been detained in deportation efforts, communities cancel Cinco De Mayo festivities, Trump will reopen Alcatraz, and the Education Department restarts loan collection

This is absolutely horrific-and continued attacks on our first amendment rights.

Welcome to the race, Corporate Money!

Israel judicial reform explained: What is the crisis about? Israel has been gripped by months of mass protests against government plans. Here's why.

Might be a good idea to look back at how Netanyahu tried to weaken the judiciary in Israel, and was met with mass protests. Much of Trump's rhetoric about the US courts matches his friend Bibi's. www.bbc.com/news/world-m...

It hasn’t been normal for quite some time. The rule of law is well beyond being threatened. Get off the fence and take an unequivocal opposition stance. You’re a prosecutor-use your skills!!
