Apparently people are sharing this far and wide on social media, which I think is horrible. This could cripple ICE operations. PLEASE do not share this.

The death of Jason Arday is hitting me hard like Nolan Xavier Wells and so many young Black people full of promise who become premature ancestors.

Black August Is More Important Than Ever
As we pay tribute to the political prisoners and revolutionaries of the past, this month is a reminder that Black resistance to white supremacy and oppression is still very necessary.

The Democratic Party’s mega-donor class is horrified by the rising tide of progressive populism. Too bad. It's time they recognize the real choice is between democracy and tyranny, between an economy that works for all or one that works for a small sliver at the top.

Securing the Bag vs. the New Black Agenda
As Black establishment Democrats continue to accept campaign funding from special interests at odds with Black issues, Black progressives are taking power back for the people.

Let's Choose the Fight for Global Reparations Rather Than the Diaspora Wars
At a time when anti-Blackness is surging, the comments by actor David Oyelowo and the ensuing backlash only further disunity in the diaspora and empower white supremacy.

The Trump $1.776 billion slush fund is not mere corruption. Trump is giving his brownshirts money for recruiting, logistics, AR-15's and tactical gear. Nobody in the national media seems to be talking about this, or about how the Paycheck Protection Program played a central role in funding Jan 6

I often say that the fight for democracy is the fight of our generation. But let me be clear, if you aren’t fighting for Black voting rights right now then you aren’t really fighting for democracy.

Boycott these Southern states like apartheid South Africa. If Black people cannot enjoy rights, these confederate holdovers must not be allowed to prosper.

Given the argument that ended the VRA, I think it’s time liberals did some self reflection about the now decades long obsession with partisan polarization as the problem, as opposed to authoritarianism, extremism, oligarchy, and racism

Look at this chart. Tax cuts for the rich are a policy choice. Cutting the social safety net in exchange for them is a policy choice. States like New York have an opportunity to help undo this trickle down nonsense by raising taxes on the rich (who will still be rich). I hope Gov. Hochul does.

In the same manifesto, Palantir's owners argued that we need a national military draft, that soft power is over, and that we were too hard on Germany and Japan after World War II. I don't think that company should be allowed to exist anymore.

Apple is closing its first unionized store in the country. Reminder that Apple spent $700B+ on stock buybacks over the past decade. CEO Tim Cook raked in over $74M in compensation in 2025 — 650 times the median Apple employee's pay. The greed of union-busters knows no end.

Victor Orbán’s removal sends a timely signal. Corrupt kleptocratic Christian nationalism was on the ballot in Hungary today — just as it will be on the ballots that Americans will cast in November. It was repudiated abroad — may it be repudiated here in November (and beyond).
