Notice how the most celebrated and successful space mission in *decades* was run by at least 50% “DEI hires”—not all white men? And not even all Americans. Maybe diversity *is* strength . . .

The biggest story in the world right now is that the president of the United States is a demented old man who takes pleasure in torturing and killing people and is committing crimes with impunity. And yet most legacy media outlets are too cowardly to tell it like it is.
The emperor has no clothes.
Time for the #25thAmendment. Congress and the Cabinet must act.
Black fathers matter.
And now I gotta call my daddy.

Finally reading this amazing book
Cartoon by Mike Luckovich.
Indeed…read that one last year and gave it away to plenty of like minded folks
Cover of Let This Radicalize You, by Kelly Hayes & Mariame Kaba
A useful re-read from @haymarketbooks.org in this moment when everything is dire and it's so necessary to imagine and build. #booksky
I literally just started this book and I’m loving it so far
it’s genuinely reassuring to me that this is the most miserable and paranoid person in the entire world
We have seen an escalation of fascist violence in Minneapolis that reflects the race war fantasies of men like Stephen Miller. However, Minneapolis is also the heart of another arc of escalation — a mass activation of care and community defense and resistance that signals hope for us all.

TRUMP ADMINSTRATION: "You can't protest by getting loud, agitated, and in our faces!"
PROTESTORS: "OK, we'll just protest by silently kneeling during the national anthem."
TRUMP ADMINISTRATION: "YOU CAN'T DO THAT EITHER!!!!!"
Firing a few key faces at the top while maintaining the the fundamental system is one of the most common appeasement tactics in history.
Don't settle for Bovino. Don't settle for Noem. Don't settle for Miller.
ICE must be abolished. That is the bare minimum.
People should be required to experience ICE's illegal brutalities before being able to claim that they support ICE and their methods.
The people of Minnesota have executed one of the most impressive civil resistance campaigns I can remember:
- Organized a city wide general strike
- Maintained nonviolent discipline amidst violence
- Mobilized 10,000s in subzero temps to protest and watch ICE
- Flipped public opinion against ICE
If only people supported congressman al green when he tried to impeach trmp instead of mocking him and his cane
I remember him telling him to his face you dont have a mandate and congress laughed at him.
I say this with full force
Fck non Black americans
Yall aint about to do sht
Liberals have no working class solidarity, this is why they continue to blame regular everyday people instead of the people they elect, or the biggest problem which is capitalism itself. They believe shifting the blame will buy them time to save neoliberalism but it’s just pissing people off!
This is ok tho
We just lost a giant. Michael Parenti was the blueprint. He never compromised his values. Never sold out to either capitalist party. His books Inventing Reality and Blackshirts and Reds are classics. He helped wake up an entire generation to the evils of capitalism & imperialism.
PHILANDO CASTILE WAS KILLED IN THE SAME FUCKING CITY WHEN OBAMA WAS PRESIDENT SO SHUT THE FUCK UP WITH THAT “WELL THIS WOULDN’T HAPPEN IF KAMALA WAS PRESIDENT.”
Van Hollen: "They really think the American people are stupid. I mean, we can all see the video. We saw the video with Renee Good. We saw the video with Alex Pretti. The real domestic terrorists are in the White House right now."
