Then huge BOOS as JD Vance comes on the big screen in the stadium.

Even the commentators canโ€™t hide itโ€ฆ

State violence against Black Americans laid the groundwork for fascism | Jason Stanley Fascism feeds on the arbitrary killings that have long plagued the US. Ending the horror starts with abolishing ICE

Here's a great read for Black History Month (or any month!). In The Cooking Gene, James Beard award-winning culinary and cultural historian @koshersoul.bsky.social travels the South, tracing his roots and the history of Southern cuisine.

p.s. Please buy books from indies not ICE-enabling oligarchs.

Feds Create Drone No Fly Zone That Would Stop People Filming ICE The FAA has altered a no fly zone designation that was originally created for US military bases to apply to DHS units.

In our latest: The feds created a drone no fly zone to stop people from recording ICE.

The order appears to attempt to criminalize the use of drones to film Immigration and Customs Enforcement and DHS employees who are detaining people all over the country.

I love immigrants. They come here looking for a better life and in exchange bring their food, culture, music making the country a better, more diverse and interesting place. I would choose them as my neighbors over someone who hates them on principle every fucking time.

I am The Postโ€™s โ€˜federal government whisperer.โ€™ Itโ€™s been brutal. One reporterโ€™s effort to show how Trump was transforming government brought her 1,168 new sources โ€” and nearly broke her.

The FBI searched the home of a Washington Post reporter seeking classified state documents. Nothing she wrote about could be considered classified. They simply want to suppress dissent via intimidation. Don't let them. Here is what she wrote. Please share.

Jacob Frey told ICE agents to get the fuck out of Minneapolis, a hugely popular viral moment, and the media has been browbeating him over it ever since. Trump flipped a guy off and told him fuck you and itโ€™s barely acknowledged.

The de facto position of the Trump administration is that it's occupying forces are allowed to mock and belittle American citizens, and also allowed to kill citizens who mock and belittle them.

Every person that is saying ENOUGH,

DEMAND IMPEACHMENT OF TRUMP FOR TREASON.

THAT'S DOING SOMETHING.

DO IT OVER, AND OVER, AND OVER AGAIN UNTIL IT STICKS.

UNTIL HE'S IMPEACHED FOR TREASON.

Don't worry about ANYTHING ELSE. Don't worry about what he's doing.

KEEP FILING
DON'T STOP!!!

Yesterday Elon Musk retweeted "white solidarity is the only way to survive". In our numb overwhelmed media environment it barely made headlines that the world's richest man endorsed blood-curdling white nationalism. My brief writeup for @religiondispatches.org

the best antidote to blackpilling is remembering that every video you see of an ICE thug abusing their power was recorded by an American who volunteered to put themselves in harm's way for the sake of people they've likely never met and never will
