Voting Rights for Blacks and Poor Whites in the Jim Crow South - America's Black Holocaust Museum From about 1900 to 1965, most African Americans were not allowed to vote in the South. White people in power used many methods to keep black people from voting. Some of these methods also prevented po...

As Trump threatens to have ICE agents intimidating folks at the polls, its a great time to learn about the history of voter suppression in Jim Crow era. www.abhmuseum.org/voting-right...

What an odd, seemingly routine matter of fact way for the article to frame β€œif you live in authoritarian US, take care to protect yourself from the regime”.

Anne Frank died from a typhus epidemic that spread through the concentration camp where she was imprisoned.

MINNEAPOLIS (AP) β€” Alberto CastaΓ±eda MondragΓ³n says his memory was so jumbled after a beating by immigration officers that he initially could not remember he had a daughter and still struggles to recall treasured moments like the night he taught her to dance.

But the violence he endured last month in Minnesota while being detained is seared into his battered brain.

He remembers Immigration and Customs Enforcement agents pulling him from a friend’s car on Jan. 8 outside a St. Paul shopping center and throwing him to the ground, handcuffing him, then punching him and striking his head with a steel baton. He remembers being dragged into an SUV and taken to a detention facility, where he said he was beaten again.

He also remembers the emergency room and the intense pain from eight skull fractures and five life-threatening brain hemorrhages.

ICE told nurses this Minneapolis man β€œpurposefully ran headfirst into a brick wall.”

What actually happened is that they pulled him from a car, beat him so viciously with a steel baton that he had 8 skull fractures, 5 life-threatening brain hemorrhages, and couldn’t remember he had a daughter.

Here is the FBI's Epstein List - by Julie k Brown

Contrary to what the FBI and DOJ have said over the past year, it turns out there really is an FBI list of other people suspected of possible wrongdoing in connection with Jeffrey Epstein.

Maria is one of hundreds of children, who β€” like Liam Ramos β€” have been held at a Texas detention facility where parents say children languish as they’re served contaminated food, receive little education and struggle to obtain basic medical care.

Trump is so jelly that Michelle Obama is so loved. Becoming is a really good documentary on her early post-White House time. Def worth 1st watch or rewatch.

AOC: Entire communities are experiencing what happens when people start to disappear. We are going to have to reckon as a country with this time. And I hope that reckoning includes prosecutions for the people involved in the lawbreaking they are knowingly engaging in right now.

AOC: This most recent election for the House, in many ways was stolen by the Republican majority. They have a 3 seat majority in the House. Those three seats were gerrymandered out of North Carolina last cycle. That is why I am so glad we fought back in California and Virginia to even the field

@pabloreports.bsky.social: Are you concerned about DHS keeping watchlists of American protesters?

REP. MOULTON: Absolutely. This is state-sponsored terror ... We start by not funding DHS. We gotta crack down on the government before they crack down on the American people.

DHS has far too much money to tear gas kids & smash in folks car windows. The latest known DHS murderers and abusers have worked there for years. It needs to be abolished.

Trump’s so upset by how popular and loved they are. Michelle Obama’s documentary Becoming viewership surge is likely the catalyst this time for his latest racist vitriol.

150 days of Kavanaugh stops, and it just keeps getting worse Kavanaugh stops would always be bad. As a tool in the Trump administration's authoritarianism arsenal, they are worse. The consequences are everywhere.

It's been 150 days of Kavanaugh stops in America, and it just keeps getting worse, so I checked in with the justice to ask him if he's had second thoughts.

My request for comment did not elicit a response.

John Thune has already called the Dems' list of (extremely weak) demands "unrealistic."

One of those demands was to require ICE to verify whether someone is a citizen before detaining them.

The GOP will not agree to NOT detain US citizens.

We all need to sit with that for a while.
