Now you see in real time the β€œjust comply” argument when you said with your own eyes them executing that man…

Reminder: ICE is cracking down hard in blue states, mainly because so many people are out & about documenting it on their cell phones.

ICE is active in red states. @al.com has been covering this diligently.

Saw a post that said "media isn't covering ICE in the South," & that's simply not true.

What? I was agreeing with you and adding evidence to back up your claim.

I like to remind people that southern whites didn't get public school systems until after slavery ended. Discriminatory societies harm all people, not just the intended targets.

Very few people remember that actions that are meant to hurt and control, don't have a name or demographic, they're simply meant to hurt and control, and they don't care who gets caught in the crosshairs.

Magazine article from 1938 which poses the question: "Can the States Stop Lynching?" Most print is too small to read, however there is a box that shows the stats for lynching by state with the total being 8, and a break down of the states where they happened.

We asked in 1938, can the state stop lynch mobs from lynching. In 2026, the question needs to be asked again. Can the state stop lynch mobs from killing American citizens?

Starting to think that the reason media is so keen on using AI to write news stories is because the people with a conscious have either been fired or have quit by now.

Had to limit my social media intact because it was bad for my mental health. Came back today and see videos of ICE detaining 5 year olds, and signs being taken down that talk about slavery.

This is not new to our history. For every sign that's taken down, we will continue to remember.

Did you know that there weren't public schools for white people until after slavery ended?

Black History is American History.

Every time someone says that [fill in brown country here] is full of greedy, war mongering people who institute religious regimes that are harmful to minorities, I am reminded that there have only been 29 years in our nation's history where we were not at war with another country.

The CNN article about Rob Reiner is full of AI Slop, and switches tenses in the same paragraph. Is this the best we can do, now?

After driving in the Bay, including San Francisco, I have come to the conclusion that if you want to stop your cities from smelling like urine, maybe try providing public bathrooms for people to pee in.

Guy was a Afghan national, trained by the CIA, and immediately after Trump talks about halting immigration from all "Third World Countries". Sounds completely legit. /s

When people's backs are to the wall is exactly the time that revolution happens. It starts with "We the People" and it is written into our founding documents.
