ICE agents held a 5-year-old autistic girl outside her Massachusetts home to pressure her father to surrender to authorities last week, according to the girl's family

What we are witnessing is an outright abuse of power. This administration is attacking critics and using fear as a weapon to silence anyone who would speak out. Media corporations — from television networks to newspapers — are capitulating to these threats.

Tyler grew up wealthy in all white communities, schools, church, friends… and yet he walked right into white nationalism racism garbage and accepted that Black folk were a problem. Not class… racism. And to be fair, he found problems with Black, brown, all races of lgbtqi and women.

When unions are strong, our communities and our country are strong. Every person in our nation has benefited from the labor movement. This Labor Day, we celebrate the workers and unions who have fought for fair wages, safe workplaces, and sick leave for all of us.

Two troubling new studies find that lies about the 2020 election tapped into racist attitudes and white America’s long-standing fear of a real multiracial democracy. Read about the studies here: bit.ly/3Jqxp6A

Right now what matters is overwhelming numbers of democrats voting in the midterms. Democrats fighting back in myriad ways and every way being met with some purist saying “Not like that” is exhausting.. All effort and each action matter.

Worse than I could imagine. Way worse.

Here's a piece that helped bring those horrors to the front in pre-abolition London: Turner's 1840 painting "the Slave Ship" or "Slavers Throwing overboard the Dead and Dying—Typhon coming on" Painting is now in Boston's MFA. en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Sla...

Phone call between MVP @kamalaharris.com and Rep. Nicole Collier. We’re with you! Let’s keep the fight up! 🙌🏼💯

MVP! 💪🏼🔥 “Just moments ago, I got a call from Vice President Kamala Harris [Collier told Dana Bash as she spoke from the House floor]. She said, ‘Keep going. Don’t give up. Stand strong. Stand tall, and don’t back down…Know that we’re in the rooms with you no matter what. And you have our support.’“

The cost of living in America under reckless Republican policies is way too high. You deserve better.

Her book is titled 107 Days but it only took a day for leftists to be mad about it 🤣🤣🤣🤣

Sadly I did not know this for the first 55 years of my life. They do not teach you this. This is absolutely true. And we should honor all of them this Memorial Day and always 

BREAKING: Scott Pelley just risked everything to make one thing clear: The attack on free speech isn’t coming—it’s already here. Journalists are being silenced, critics are being punished, and most of the media’s playing dead. This is state-sponsored suppression. This is dictatorship in real time.

This has always been the GOP's strategy: 1) Cut taxes for the wealthy & corporations by claiming they'll pay for themselves. 2) Explode the deficit. 3) Demand cuts to vital programs that help millions. 4) Repeat. They're trying to get away with it again.

My epiphany about the flavors of racism: As a teen, I lived in Brazil. Amazing country with incredible culture, food, music and more. And I believed, erroneously, far less racist than America. But I now see that it’s not that Brazil is less racist. It’s that it has a different

NEW: More than a dozen high-ranking executive branch officials and congressional aides made well-timed trades since Trump took office, most of them selling stock before the market plunged amid fears that Trump’s tariffs would set off a global trade war.

NEW: In agency after agency, the U.S. government is losing its capacity to measure how American society is functioning, making it much harder to gauge the nature and scale of the problems we are facing and the effectiveness of policies. By @alecmac.bsky.social

Harris was at an invite only BLACK WOMEN'S leadership summit as a SURPRISE. She was not a keynote speaker. They did not buy tickets or give donations. They also did not have demands of her to say things they already know she thinks/feels bc ever woman in that room busted their ass to get her elected

Vice President Kamala Harris warned everyone that the orange felon would destroy the country. It still breaks my heart that people chose a rapist felon criminal traitor over a leader. I’ll never regret voting for her.

JUST IN: The FDA’s top vaccine official, Dr. Peter Marks, has been pushed out. In his resignation letter, he slams RFK Jr. for rejecting “truth and transparency” and pushing “misinformation and lies.” Marks warns of an “unprecedented assault on scientific truth.”

America destroyed itself due to greed and racism. It tracks. The two original sins the country was unable or unwilling to ever confront and conquer.

It’s really fascinating what happens when you remove diversity—white male incompetency is placed on full display and with no one to blame for their actions —so they just lie.
