Mississippi’s Attorney General says police were justified in the shooting and killing 1-year-old Kohen Wiley, yet tellinginly, the police have refused to release the bodycam footage despite repeated requests by his family and attorney Ben Crump. Follow me for more #fyp #policeshooting #useofforce

I take my right to vote so seriously because people DIED fighting for it. Black men gained voting rights in 1870, but Jim Crow laws, violence, and intimidation kept generations from the ballot box. It took until 1965 to pass the Voting Rights Act. #ElectionHeroesVoteEarly 🧵

You know, Elon, if you just paid your taxes, we could give those kids food and healthcare, things far more valuable than stock in a government-welfare-dependent company that is bound to go bankrupt eventually.

1. Trump’s new White House press secretary, Katie Zacharia, says she is a lawyer. She has claimed to be a lawyer repeatedly on national TV, on podcasts, and on social media. But there is no evidence that Zacharia has ever been licensed to practice law.

When you log on Twitter to find out what incendiary defamations your favorite pro-Trump account has created today, only to find that it has gone up in smoke at a burning bot-hosting Russian data center.

When I'm stressed & life gets chaotic I get books. I used to check out more books than usual from the library. Now I have my own book room. This is the tallest my TBR stack has ever been. Looking forward to Nov. 4 when the future may be slightly more discernible. Books: always my drug of choice.

If a politician takes money from weapons manufacturers, don't be surprised when they back weapons contracts. If a politician takes money from Big Pharma, don't be surprised when they try to stop guaranteed healthcare. That's why I don't take ANY corporate money. None.

ICE brutally detain woman's gardener-right in front of her house. 4 goons drag and violently pull man out of truck head-first. Kneel on his back after pinned down to pavement. "I can't breathe! I can't breathe!" he cries out. Incident occurred in Everett, Washington.

Karen Bass’s LAPD is openly defying a judge’s order to hand over moonlighting records, and it's obvious why. They are desperately hiding a shadow workforce where cops moonlight for ICE contractors, creating blatant conflicts of interest. It's time to enforce the subpoena and demand accountability.

Holding this maternal healthcare event alongside Harris was a smart move by El-Sayed, and a necessary one. He needs to strengthen Black support in Michigan. The divisions of the 2024 uncommitted movement were real, and Black voters haven’t forgotten how ugly that election became. #HealthcareForAll

For decades, music floated across the Potomac from a barge beneath the Watergate steps. When the concerts ended, their spirit endured nearby in the Kennedy Center, where Washington built a permanent home for the arts beside the river that first carried the sound.

Trump's tariffs and Big "Beautiful" Bill have hit Iowa hard, and the incumbent Repub in #IA01 voted for it. Time to vote her out and put Christina Bohannan in Congress. She will work to lower costs and bring high-wage jobs to the state. Elect Christina Bohannan Iowa's 1st Congressional District

Three weeks ago it was Kohen Wiley. Two weeks ago it was Nolan Wells. This week it is Corey Ruiz. This is unsustainable and indefensible. Sending all the love and prayers to the families of all three and more. May they bear these losses with patience and receive the justice they deserve.😓

I'll summarize this: Mamdani asked NYers to keep air conditioning at 78 degrees. A wave criticism hit online. A MSNBC broadcast pointed out the US Department of Energy recommends that 78 degree figure. Immediately after, the US Department of Energy deleted 6,000 web pages related to energy saving.

The White House ballroom lawsuit just escalated. The preservation group suing Trump says DOJ made multiple “false statements” in court and delivered this brutal line: “All of this may be standard fare for a social media post. But in a federal court filing, it is neither appropriate nor permitted.”

📌Barack Obama was targeted 11 times in assassination attempts during this two terms. I bet you don't remember any of them because they were handled through proper channels, professionally, and he isn't a whiny bitch.

Those of us in the pro-democracy movement can and should hold both of these positions. 1. We unequivocally reject violence. 2. We will unequivocally oppose efforts by this administration to use last night as an excuse to try to suppress criticism and criminalize dissent.
