We knew this was going to happen. We predicted it. This is an intended outcome of having masked vigilantes on the street, empowered by an administration that wants to brutalize Black and brown people every chance they get.

Every republican that allows this to continue should be held liable for intent to commit treasonous acts.

NEWS: WV GOP Assistant Majority Leader Elliott Pritt has been arrested and charged with enticing a minor after allegedly grooming a 15-year-old through Roblox and Snapchat, then having her meet him in his classroom. GOP leadership won't call for his resignation.

Medicaid covers low-income adults, children, pregnant people, the elderly and people with disabilities. It’s one of our few social safety nets. Giving HIPAA-protected data to ICE and Palantir is a betrayal of public trust and straight-up illegal. The ongoing theft of our country’s data is a heist.

#HurricanePreparedness 🌪️ 🧰 Emergency kit & plan Emergency kits and evacuation planning reduce disaster-related harm and improve response outcomes. 1. You don’t need a perfect plan, just a clear one. 🧰 2. Know where you’ll go if flooding starts. 3. Keep documents safe and accessible.

Rep. @justinjpearson.bsky.social : “This is an attack on Black political power. To take away our representation.”

The "shooter" at the WHCD rushed the magnetometer and the secret service shot at each other. Is he guilty of causing the shooting? Yes. Is there a Keystone Cops element that should not be overlooked? Also, yes.

Can you imagine going back to 1776 and telling the Founding Fathers that in 250 years, the King of England would be standing in the United States Capitol lecturing American lawmakers about the importance of democratic norms?

Missed #alienday but did you know the actor who wore the creature suit in Ridley Scott’s 1979 classic was 6’10″ Nigerian Bolaji Badejo? dangerousminds.net/comments/beh...

German Chancellor Merz: It is quite obvious that the Americans have absolutely no coherent strategy whatsoever. There is a sense that a whole nation is being humiliated by the Iranian leadership, particularly the Revolutionary Guards.

The Universe Will Have A "Big Bang" Of A Relief That Day......

BREAKING: After ProPublica published letters written by children at the Dilley concentration camp, ICE officers raided the dormitories and confiscated the children's letters. I'm suing ICE to get them back. I'll explain it all in 45 minutes on @meidastouch.com here: www.youtube.com/live/H-D8SzR...

If you are going to be at Maryland Sheep and Wool in May, I am teaching a class on the many ways to knit a heel, an opportunity for sock knitters to expand their skills. 🧶 plus it will be fun!

Serious question: If the US has wreaked such devastation on Iran over the last week, why is there such little video proof? In previous ME wars, the US paraded video, pictures, and satellite imagery every hour. I don’t see that these days on the news. Or am I missing something?

Today, Mike Johnson will keep the House adjourned for the 91st day out of the last 103. 12 days of work in 103 days. With full pay and benefits. The senate has been working, so this is not about the shutdown. It is about avoiding a vote to release the Epstein files.

What Happened in Gaza Might Be Even Worse Than We Think www.nytimes.com/2025/10/23/o... Thank you @polgreen.bsky.social

“Epithets like “f----t,” “retarded” and “n--ga” appeared more than 251 times combined” If you ever had any doubt that the youth wing of the GOP is fully radicalized and proudly racist these days:

Free Greta Thunberg and the rest of the illegally detained flotilla activists.

Not only is our new acting director of the CDC NOT a scientist, but he also has deep ties to Peter Thiel and Silicon Valley’s techno-utopia movement. One epidemiologist compared Jim O’Neill’s appointment to “making Elon Musk head of the FAA.”

there is no question in my mind that rfk jr is the most dangerous person in this administration and that his eugenicist ideology threatens the lives of millions of people www.advocate.com/politics/dem...

I continue to be struck by this language of “in accordance with the president’s priorities,” which treats the executive branch as an extension of the person of the president, and not a mechanism for instituting the will of Congress

Due to the ongoing U.S. measles outbreak, a Texas man worried that his young son was at risk and took him to get vaccinated. The cost of the shot? $1,400.

Today marks the third anniversary of the Supreme Court's decision to overturn Roe v. Wade. What's happened since? A record number of women have been prosecuted. Pregnancy loss is now considered extremely suspicious, even when it has nothing to do with abortion.

a racist chud gets jealous of a person of african descent and tries to being the force of the state against them, many such cases www.nytimes.com/2025/06/10/w...

Nothin but the facts

This part.

We need to talk about this. The regime's un-uniformed secret police are snatching people off the streets of U.S. cities, detaining, disappearing and deporting them based on the color of their skin, their tattoos (sometimes mistakenly); even sending some to foreign gulags. www.cnn.com/2025/04/01/p...

Just no words for this level of cruelty and enthusiasm for inflicting suffering on the poorest in our society

"Meet the Tech Billionaire Just as Dangerous as Elon Musk" Eccentric Palantir CEO Alex Karp is profiting from Israel’s genocide abroad, writes @taylorlorenz.bsky.social for Zeteo, and wants to make money off of Trump’s immigration crackdown at home. zeteo.com/p/meet-the-t...

He fired the black chairman of the joint chiefs for being woke and hired his brother.
