It’s crazy to me that Right ring pundits think Byron Donald’s at the top of this ticket is going to make gains with Black voters for Republicans. If you want to understand why a lot of Black folk, have such a problem with Byron Donalds and are calling him out right now, look at the record: 🧵👇🏽

My latest in The Atlantic, about the women who form the backbone of Ukraine's resistance. Many of the drone strikes we're seeing are the last link in a complex kill-chain — one that begins with agents deep behind enemy lines. I was granted rare access to this network. Their courage is staggering.

Mikie Sherrill gave ICE what they wanted. Read on.
Screengrab from Instagram: 

climaterevolutionnj More than 18 hours after the arrests outside Delaney Hall, peaceful protesters and organizers remain in custody with little information about when they will be released.
Those arrested are being held at Essex County Jail next to Delaney Hall and processed through Newark. Public defenders and attorneys are on site and ready to assist, but have now been twice denied access.
Food and medical care are reportedly being provided, but phone calls have not been allowed. Families, friends, and organizations across New Jersey have been left waiting for updates while those arrested remain in limbo.
We are now seeing some individuals face felony riot charges. The Attorney General has confirmed that these prosecutions are being carried out in collaboration with Newark authorities.
At this point, many leaders and organizers from organizations across New Jersey remain behind bars, some after spending more than 18 hours in custody without being formally processed.
Uplift the voices of the detainees and arrested protestors. Show up at the Attorney General's Office tomorrow and remember to vote!

Former human rights lawyer here: under international human rights law, bombing or gassing a medical facility is a crime against humanity. Last night, the NJ state police gassed the medic tent at Delaney Hall over and over and over again until medics had to abandon it and flee for their lives.
