Facebook nuked my profile overnight—180-day lock, appeal denied. No warning. Fuck that. I’m not shutting the fuck up. I’m doubling down—Bluesky, Substack, Reddit, new FB. Fuck the fascist cowards. You won’t silence me. Truth doesn’t die in silence. History will remember who spoke. I won’t be erased.

Say what you want about Kendrick but the fact that people are figuring out what “40 acres and a mule” in 2025 is why any education to black history is important, no matter no big nor small.

This is just one of thousands of harrowing stories told about the U.S. Government abandoning Americans abroad in the USAID shutdown. This is Benghazi times a million. 1/

When social media exposes traditional media’s deceit, it’s time for independent journalists to investigate why the press is backing a president who undermines free press—and is it coordinated?

Pam Bondi is disbanding the Foreign Influence Task Force - the FBI team that is charged with combatting foreign meddling in US elections.

Worth asking how this makes us more safe in any way, shape, or form.

The #Guantanamo immigrant detention facility will house 30k. The largest U.S. prison currently holds 6300 on 28 sq. miles. The U.S. only controls 45 sq. miles in Guantanamo, including the bay. It currently is built for 800 inmates.You can't fit 30k unless you "concentrate" them 🤨

A tweet by Michael McFaul (@McFaul) that reads: "In 2012, when I was the US ambassador to Russia, Putin shut down USAID inside Russia. Why? Because their work supported free markets, democracy, human rights — ie causes that threatened Putin's dictatorship. Shutting down USAID is exactly what autocrats all over the world want."

What's the answer to this question?!

WH press secretary Leavitt: “When you're flying with your loved ones, do you pray that your airplane lands safely and gets you to your destination, or do you pray that the pilot has a certain skin color? I think we all know the answer to that question."
