No one experiencing the tragedy of a miscarriage should be arrested, much less abandoned in jail for 5 months with a $100k bond. But that’s exactly what happened to Mallori Patrice Strait in Texas. Women, particularly women of color, in this country are no longer allowed dignity even in extreme loss

My Fellow Americans, I know it’s HARD to believe but we have NOT been free over here in the good ol’ USA. The ruling class has manipulated us since the GET. The HUGE disparities in our society, a history of war & genocide, babies being massacred at school. These were some signs. Did you notice?

Kenyan #journalist Alvin Kaunda was reporting live from Nairobi when a curious baby #elephant, Kindani, decided to join the broadcast. The playful elephant stuck her trunk in Alvin's mouth, making for a hilarious moment! A joyful reminder of wildlife's charm and the work of the Sheldrick Trust!

Last night I watched Schindler’s List (again) with my son who had never seen it. I’d recommend everyone do that because so much of it is so relevant in these times for reasons we didn’t anticipate when we watched it the first time. I wonder who will be the Schindler for the Palestinians in Gaza?

Call to action, DC lawyers.

Without due process, this could be you. It could be me. It could be any or all of us. It doesn’t matter who you voted for. Or the color of your skin. You must understand what is truly at stake here. All tyranny needs to thrive is for people of good conscience to remain silent.

Let’s get on the same page: 1) 2016 election - RUSSIAN interference PROVEN by Mueller 2) 2020 election - Big Lie & Insurrection 3) 2024 “election” - the Regime INSTALLED & bragging they RIGGED it 4) 2028 “election” - THEY WILL NOT BE LEAVING 5) ELECTIONS CANNOT SAVE US 6) Only MASS MOVEMENTS can

Skipped the paperwork. Ignored the court order. Broke the law. Ignored the constitution. This ain’t immigration policy. This is straight-up defiance of the rule of law.

Very soon we will need active networks of MUTUAL AID & PROTECTION. The targeting of civilians will only increase exponentially. MASSES will be impoverished. People will need money, food, shelter & safe passage. BE READY TO HELP. BE READY TO ASK FOR HELP.

Yup, this should have been the end of it.

What do these corporations have in common? Netflix Ford Tesla T-Mobile Duke Energy DISH Network Metlife Dominion Energy United States Steel In recent years, they all paid their execs more than they paid in taxes. This is what a corporate-rigged system looks like.

Harvard rejects Trump’s demands with federal funding at risk. Thank you!👏

This seems like a big story: A federal judge, who was appointed by Trump, has ruled that he cannot ban AP from press briefings because they refuse to kowtow to him on the Gulf of Mexico name 👏👏

“Bennett has enabled violence at the highest levels of government and public life that attempt to justify violence that cannot be justified, killing that cannot be fathomed. To his enabling of apartheid, genocide and annexation, Jews at Princeton say, 'Not in our name.'”

Reminder: We are not at war with Venezuela. The people deported are not enemies. The law in question should not apply. Among the most dangerous aspects of the SCOTUS ruling is the idea that the president and his people have the right to arbitrarily determine who our enemies are.

NEW: Yesterday, the Justice Department sent armed marshals to warn former U.S. pardon attorney Liz Oyer not to disclose internal DOJ information during her Senate testimony. Today, Oyer is speaking out to condemn the DOJ’s actions and defend the rule of law.
