I hear there’s this country where the president’s masked secret police shoots priests in the head with pepper rounds. Maybe we should intervene there.

And again, a pattern of putting out statements accusing people of serious Federal crimes and then releasing them hours or days or weeks later with no charges. And no retraction.

Sorry, Trump can hate all he wants. I’m not going anywhere. 👋🏽

Finally a spot of good news!

Perfect. 60 Minutes edited out an important part of its Trump interview in which he boasts about extracting millions from its parent company on an utterly meritless claim . . . that 60 Minutes selectively edited its Kamala Harris interview.

"It turns my stomach to see how we pollute the water—draw the drapes, please." John Fischetti, March 1969. The Cuyahoga River in Cleveland caught fire several months later. It had done so many times before. But, in 1969, the reaction to the river fire helped launch the modern environmental movement.

Looks like you should cancel that monthly donation you set up

"Why don't people support welfare programs?"

Racism. More specifically, anti-Blackness.

White folks asked about who welfare serves overestimate the number of Black people on welfare. Not only that, but just the mere THOUGHT of who welfare supports led less white people to support it. #blacksky

🤣

Lmao get rekt chuck

The GOP’s antisemitism crisis Nick Fuentes, Tucker Carlson, and the looming Republican civil war over Jews.

“JD Vance’s refusal to forcefully condemn the infamous Young Republicans group chat” illustrates “No Enemies to the Right” aka “NETTR” (a motto coined by Claremont Institute donor Charles Haywood), which has combined with the “technological revolution” to unfurl a “red carpet for…antisemites…” 1/

Carlos Jimenez, a 24-year-old U.S. citizen, was on his way to work at a food bank when he was shot by ICE officers in what a DHS spokesperson calls “defensive shots.” On Thursday morning at approximately 6:30 a.m., ICE officers were at Vineyard Avenue in Ontario when Jimenez, who was not in the target vehicle, attempted to pull in front of the officers. According to Javier Hernandez, executive director of the Inland Coalition for Immigrant Justice, Jimenez was trying to assist and provide aid to the person who was being stopped by ICE officers. After Jimenez was shot in the shoulder, the LA Times and LA Taco reported that he drove to his brother’s house so he could take him to the hospital.

ICE shot an American citizen and food bank worker who tried to block them arresting an immigrant by pulling his car in front of them.
After being released from hospital: "He is now facing charges for assault on a federal officer."

Trump is promoting debunked Nazi conspiracies to bring white South African "refugees" as his Administration continues to terrorize brown and Black communities

Zohran Mamdani campaigned a lot and appears not to hate the voters whose support he's seeking. Here's what other Democrats can learn from his unorthodox strategy.

"Project 2025 was never just a “policy plan.” It was a declaration of war on pluralism itself. A promise by Donald Trump, Russell Vought, and Stephen Miller to chain the machinery of government to white nationalism, Christian dominance, and patriarchal control." 🔥

A grocery store that makes fresh produce affordable for all New Yorkers? It's not just an idea floated in the mayoral race—it's happening right now in Woodside, just a few blocks from the 7 train.

Three killed in US military strike on alleged drug vessel in the Caribbean Defense secretary announces a new strike on alleged drug smugglers in the Caribbean Sea, bringing total killed in US strikes to at least 64 people

Very few serial killers manage to murder 64 victims. These sick guys are obsessed with being the "biggest," with being "number one."

Ppl are so inured to U.S. anti-Blackness they refuse to even make connections re how systems visible to them NOW—like fed- & state-sponsored targeting, abusing, & disappearing of innocent ppl—are same ones they refused to see & supported when ONLY &/or maj-Black ppl were impacted😶

I was ranting to some undergrads about ChatGPT on Friday. They were mostly onboard and then one said to me “but what are we supposed to do when our professors require us to use it”

Absolutely the fuck not

The way embracing white supremacy can disfigure you (or, make you disfigure your own damn face).
