Some of the most commonly enforced Jim Crows laws historically were anti-fishing and hunting regulations. At the time it was openly discussed that if black people had access to their own food procurement they would refuse to work as hard for white business owners or worse potentially go 'off grid'.

White people think they have the power to police Black people—strangers at that. It’s suuuuch a bizarre experience, when a white person confronts you over something they deem you shouldn’t be doing. And they will legit stand there waiting, expecting you to obey them in real-time as they command.

UPDATE: The LAPD officer at the center of this story -- Vincent Deglinnocenti -- is no longer an LAPD officer. Last month he surrendered his license to be a cop in CA. This comes a year after my reporting pushed the LAPD to investigate Deglinnocenti for pulling a gun on a teen. @lataco.bsky.social

Dear god. Very, very serious allegations of mass civil rights violations at the State of Florida's Everglades immigration detention center (officially known as "Alligator Alcatraz").

“Over and over and over again, the district court rules that this detention that’s happening on Camp Pendleton is a violation of due process, but they just keep doing it because most people don’t have an attorney that can get them out.”

He just takes down Traitor Trump like a surgeon. Check it out here:

It’s a good question, let’s clear the air:

1) Disco is awesome, like 25 all-time classic tracks in a 4 year span,

2) Disco was hated because it was queer, brown, and black,

3) Disco was hated because it paired women and men in a different power dynamic.

4) “Disco Sucks” was a “ MAGA” test run.

I never got the hate for disco, but I guess I was never supposed to 'hate' disco.

No matter the generation, every time we look at a music genre that becomes 'hated', it's always because of its roots in Black America.

That goes for jazz, rock and roll, and rap too.

This is former Utah judge Kevin Christensen, charged with 8 counts of child sexual abuse. He's pled to 3 counts, and faces up to 15 years in prison and a $10,000 fine. Not an immigrant. Not a drag queen. Not undocumented.

He is, however, an elected Republican official.

WHY PROTECTING FARM WORKERS' OVERTIME RULES MATTERS

Overtime protections ensures farm workers are fairly compensated for long, physically demanding work.

Raising the threshold for overtime pay from the already high 48 hours to 56 hours a week, increases risks of fatigue, heat-related illness, and workplace injuries.

Maintaining current rules supports the safety, health, and financial stability of farm workers.

SB26-121 raises the overtime threshold, requiring workers to put in more hours before receiving extra pay.

This has kept happening since it happened to Linda Tirado, and it happened before that - police know they aren't supposed to aim them at people's heads and are doing it anyway despite that. End qualified immunity.

The Hasan Piker Witch Hunt Exposes Everything Wrong With Corporate Democrats They’ll platform racists, Islamophobes, and war criminals — but draw the line at a Muslim who opposes genocide

So the Dem tent can apparently include people who:
•Mock DV survivors
•Use the N word
•Fund and then deny genocide
•Demonize Muslims
•Oppose abortion access
•Dehumanize LGBTQ people
•Oppose voting rights
•Support killing civilians

But the line is Hasan Piker??🤔
