Black people lost voting rights because of Mitch. Black women lost thousands of jobs because Mitch refused to vote to impeach Trump 3x. Black childbirth mortality rates spiked even higher because of Mitch. When Black ppl died from Covid in 2020, Mitch said it was a "blue state problem".

I know there’s so many worse things going on, but I hate that this asshole president has infected every aspect of life and made it impossible to for me to enjoy my hobbies and interests because his heinousness taints everyone who associates with him.

My office has been flooded with reports of the cruel, unsafe, unlawful conditions inside of the Whipple detention facility in Minneapolis. This weekend, I was finally granted access to perform oversight of the facility. youtu.be/0SxPn8n2Bfg

When this is over, we must create permanent monuments commemorating Renee Good, Alex Pretti, and all others killed in the fight against fascism. I want their names etched in stone across the country, always visible. I hope and pray that the lists of names do not get any longer.

All but one have AIPAC as their biggest donor. (And it's their second biggest donor.) Israel loves ICE. Massie is one of few congressmen in either party who refuses money from AIPAC.

Because Black people know that there is no such thing as “identification” or “identifying yourself”. They aren’t saying Padilla didn’t identify himself as a U.S. Senator. They are saying that there is only one acceptable identity — credential — being white and, in these times, being pro-Trump.

That's one of the things that is generally different from the US and France. France has a public that is socialized to accept protest. It's like bad weather annoying but you work around it. The US media has spent half a century treating protest as violence that you shouldn't have to deal with

When they say peaceful they mean not disruptive. They interpret any interruption of the status quo as violent

Let's talk about these two department store owners: brother and sister Louis Bamberger and Caroline Bamberger Fuld. From Newark, New Jersey. They are random people, basically. But in the late 1920s, with fascism taking over Europe, they made a choice that profoundly changed the world: 🧵

Brutal account of what it’s like to teach at the University of Florida right now in the NYT—extraordinary climate of fear. People afraid to say intersectional and talk about lynchings. Fake students trying to entrap Muslim faculty or just making things up altogether. www.nytimes.com/2025/05/07/o...

In the three years since Ron DeSantis set out to rid Florida’s universities of woke ideology, my campus changed significantly. Professors suddenly worried about what they could say and teach. Some started avoiding terms like “racism.” One student recently told me that when someone used “intersectional” in class, the instructor told her not to use that word.

One colleague told me that he stopped assigning an article about lynching and white evangelicalism for fear that those terms could raise red flags. Another said she was censoring her language not just in class and on campus but also on personal social media.

Several professors have been subjected to efforts at entrapment. Last year a man posing as a student tried to encourage Muslim faculty members to criticize Mr. DeSantis and Israel. A similar incident happened to me. In October 2024 my department chair called me into his office to tell me that someone claiming to be a student in my Religion and Science class had complained that I spent 20 minutes talking about specific candidates, including who I was voting for and why. I was stunned. That never happened in that class or any other; it is antithetical to the way I teach. Fortunately

The Army deleted my “Why I served” video where I talked about how I decided I wanted to attend West Point/join the Army after one of the cadets my family used to sponsor died in combat. Probably deleted because she was the first black woman to be CSM at West Point.

It really seems like he have to learn some hard lessons again, on war, on economic policy, on taxes, on democracy, and certainly on vaccines and public health. These lessons would not have to be relearned if Americans had even a shred of historical context or understanding.

Democrats are responding to everything like this steward on the Titanic. The ship is sinking, guys. The president IS TRYING TO SINK THE SHIP.

After Jack and Rose break through a wall to escape the flooded floors of the Titanic, an outraged White Star Line steward tells them they’ll have to pay for the property damage.
