Palestine Will Be Free 🍉

Turns out that food companies were only checking their food because the government told them to, which is exactly why we need government regulations.

Surely the solution here is just *don't use AI tools* for your writing and research and continue to do your writing and research in ALL the ways you were doing it before you started using AI instead of doing the work??

"I hope you are impressed," he said to me. "How do you like the performance? I mean, Venezuela is obvious. This might be even better. How do you like the performance?" "How do you like the performance?" An illegal war for the sake of spectacle and the amusement of POTUS.

The US under 'antiwar' Trump has now also launched military operations in Ecuador too:

“As the U.S. officially breaks 1K measles cases in 2026, experts say that the rate of infections is accelerating much faster this year than it did in years past *** [I]n just 2 months, the national total [in 2026] is already nearing half of all the 2,281 confirmed cases reported in 2025.” 2/27/26

Just a reminder: instead of an actual diplomat, we sent Trump’s deeply compromised son-in-law as the lead negotiator to avert war with Iran. popular.info/p/deeply-con...

It's estimated that it would take about 40 billion dollars a year to solve world hunger.... we could get that just from taxing one company properly.

Thanks to the OBBB, Amazon’s tax bill for 2025 is $1.2 billion, down from $9 billion the year before despite a 45% jump in profits.

Curious how much ICE is over-paying for property for its detention warehouses? We've got you covered. Sources: State and local property records, land records, deeds, and tax assessment data. tinyurl.com/ICEWarehouse...

I’ll also be here this week.

ice is the gestapo and they're creating more concentration camps, we're living in the 4th reich. this isn't hyperbole or any other literary device.

"Voter suppression is one of the core tools of authoritarianism. It is how you shift from democracy to autocracy. And for millions of Americans, it’s about to become the norm" www.theatlantic.com/podcasts/202...

they abolished the department of education, we do not need a trojan horse to abolish ice we can just do it

“And so we must be clear about the stakes: Our nation teeters at the brink of a particularly dangerous moment, not just for Black Americans but for democracy itself.” www.nytimes.com/2024/03/13/m...

The last thing I wrote in my colorblindness piece argued “What we are witnessing, once again, is the alignment of white power against racial justice and redress. As history has shown, maintaining racial inequality requires constant repression and is therefore antithetical to democracy...”

A decade ago, when Trump one the first time, I and other Black writers tried to make us see that racism — both explicit and deeply seeded — was at the root of Trump’s rise. We were dismissed even as late as last year as people attributed economic anxieties to Trump’s wins. DO YOU BELIEVE US NOW?

Power is always discursive and its moves to undermine the use of language to tell the truth is central to its narrative strategy against the public. Here, Homan makes calling a murder a “murder” more dangerous than murder itself. Stokely taught us this decades ago about power and police.

They're threatening to kill more of us if we call them murderers. Only a murderer levels that kind of threat.

After Minneapolis, now the ICE shooting on Christmas Eve in Maryland is getting some scrutiny from local police: “…county police confirmed The Banner’s reporting that the second person injured in the encounter was already in ICE custody, in one of the agency’s vehicles, when he was hurt.”

The Minnesota Star Tribune identified the victim of the ICE shooting in Minnesota as Renee Nicole Good. Her father, Tim Ganger, told The Post that he and his wife were still processing the news. “She was a wonderful person,” he said.

Narrator voice: “Tim Walz is almost certainly playing.”

Kind of like private equity. Something you think is bad all of a sudden gets that much worse because the entity taking over doesn’t even care about the place or people, only the resources, profit, and their own self-interest.

This should exist in every city in the country.

Big congrats to the Nobel Committee for awarding the prize "for her struggle to achieve a just and peaceful transition from dictatorship to democracy" just so she could immediately conspire with a foreign government to murder civilians on the high seas then invade and stage a coup.

I’m just waiting for the announcement we’re going to install him as the new Venezuelan president.
