Renee Good said she wasn’t mad at ICE, ICE shot her in the head.

Alex Pretti helped a woman who’d just been pepper-sprayed get back up, ICE shot him once in the back and 9 times in his chest.

It’s not hard to figure out who are the good guys — and who are the bad guys who murdered them.

I don’t want to hear anything from an elected official unless it’s a plan to defund the DHS and impeach Noem, Bovino, etc. No texts. No emails. No talk about the economy. Step up or step off.

Alex Pretti was a colleague at the VA. We hired him to recruit for our trial. He became an ICU nurse- I lover working with him. He was a good kind person who lived to help and these fuckers executed him.

White. Hot. Rage.

It's so so very cold.
I pray so hard for people with no place to go. No place to lay their head in peace. That fact that people have to sleep outside in "the richest" country on earth is enough for revolution on its own.

Or, to put it another way, as long as white Americans take refuge in their whiteness— for so long as they are unable to walk out of this most monstrous of traps-they will allow millions of people to be slaughtered in their name, and will be manipulated into and surrender themselves to what they will think of-and justify—as a racial war. They will never, so long as their whiteness puts so sinister a distance between themselves and their own experience and the experience of others, feel themselves sufficiently human, sufficiently worthwhile, to become responsible for themselves, their leaders, their country, their children, or their fate. They will perish (as we once put it in our black church) in their sins—that is, in their delusions. And this is happening, needless to say, already, all around us.

James Baldwin to Angela Davis in 1970, discussing white Americans:

No one owns the Water.
No one owns the Land.
No one owns the sand.
These are given by Our Mother.
The Planet provides for Free.
Only by the hands of the Greedy does the Earth require a Fee 🌺

Goodbye, MSNBC. Hello, MS NOW.

didnt even try to put “news” in the name www.nytimes.com/2025/08/18/b...

illegal war started by a man constitutionally ineligible to be president

as someone prone to directly confronting people for stuff they say online, that from lee is the face of someone who did not expect to be confronted for something he said online

Organized people > organized money

anyway, the country didn't take the white supremacist underground seriously after oklahoma city and now a bunch of tim mcveigh's run the country

just watched this netflix documentary on the oklahoma city bombing and once again i'm struck by how so many of the popular media takes on this event just avoid entirely the connection to organized white supremacism

Matt Miller says Israel has 'without doubt' committed war crimes in Gaza.

But last year, @premthakker.bsky.social asked the State Dept why it wouldn’t enforce its own laws in response to Israeli war crimes.

Miller responded by personally attacking him, suggesting he had ulterior motives.

Palestinians are being massacred in Gaza day after day after day and yet I still here some people telling me how happy they are that Trump has had a falling out with Netanyahu.

Who cares?!

Netanyahu is still killing kids with Trump’s blessing. That’s all that matters.

We're about 3 lines deep into the "first they came for" poem. It's not a very long poem, folks

Random reminder that banning members of Congress from trading stock is a total no brainer.

They can use privileged information to make money on the stock market, while they’re supposed to be working for you.

Make no mistake — it’s legalized corruption.

The new Neil Halloran documentary on Smallpox has completely changed how I see the RFK Jr. version of the world. Neil (softly) argues that realizing that disease isn't the fault of the sick /or/ the fault of the Gods ushered in a new future where we felt the authority to care for each other.

people don't see artists (musicians, writers, crafters, etc) as laborers and that's the entire problem right there

people are inclined to see creativity as a hobby or downtime activity, you can't make it actual real work, what rights do you possibly want when you're being a slacker with no ambition

Doug Bowser: Diversity is important to Nintendo

“We always want to attract the best talent we can and retain that talent. We also believe it’s important for that talent to be diverse in terms of their backgrounds, their experiences, and their understandings"

I hope everyone knows that it's very easy for any social content platform, including Bluesky, to be a misery machine and that if you aren't intentional about it, they will absolutely decrease the positive impact you have on the world while making you less happy.

It really takes a lot for me to say this, but the Graham tweet is genuinely a pretty offensive thing to say.

American War A special series from The Verge that confronts the legacy and mythmaking of the Vietnam War, 50 years after the fall of Saigon.

In Vietnam, the war is called "the American War."

The administration that called Canada “the 51st state” and said “we’re going to get” Greenland is suddenly cowed by sovereignty.

New Social Security rules will create hurdles for millions of seniors, report finds A new report from a left-leaning Center on Budget and Policy Priorities finds that upcoming changes to Social Security will amount to a "45-mile trip for some 6 million seniors."

Americans seeking retirement or survivor benefits from the Social Security Administration will no longer be able to apply over the phone, starting next week.
