Culture & Context

Hilarious

The racism that Abdul El-Sayed is facing from Republicans, the press, and even some Democrats is so disgusting.

“Our team documented significant changes in publicly reported vote totals, including decreases in Kamala Harris’s totals across the swing states and Florida. By millions of votes.”

"Cool dude, see you in discovery!" is the obvious UNO Reverse card to Trump's attempts to bully organizations by suing them for a trillion dollars. It's a massive indictment of the US system that one after another institutions and major organizations settled and paid bribes rather than play it.

“The Roberts Court sees only white. It refuses to acknowledge who the Equal Protection Clause was written to protect. The freed people, their descendants, and all others denied equal citizenship. It turns its back on what is in plain sight. The Fourteenth Amendment is not colorblind. It never was.”

Everyone coming on my feed and explaining to me that all is lost, I note what I have noted before, that there are no Negro Spirituals entitled, “Welp, I Guess It All Sucks and I Am Giving Up.”

When billions can be hoarded while millions of children are starving, we've normalized a profound moral failure.

A very wise statement.

THE US HAVING A WHITES-ONLY REFUGEE POLICY SHOULD BE A MUCH BIGGER STORY

I miss these days

🥳 today is ❤️🧡💜💛💚💙💜 #ObamaAppreciationDay 🎈

Over 50 years later, this anti-Vietnam War PSA still rings true.

Feeling overwhelmed with all of this. LISTEN. Another Louisiana resident (Marshawn is the only name we have) testifies against the state’s racial gerrymander, speaking truth to power up and down the hearing room and predicts how this story will end. Speak your truth, fight and believe.

Black people are giving it these Confederates raw and uncut. This is how it’s gonna be now. You wonder what we’re thinking? It’s this. I believe this is activist Gary Chambers again in Louisiana.

After the White House complained about an unflattering photo of Karoline Leavitt, it was removed from AFP and Getty’s systems. This is the photo in question. Please do not repost it. 👇

The last photo of third-grader Mikaeil Mirdoraghi, waving to his mom before he left for school. He was killed shortly after in the U.S./Israeli strike on a primary school in Minab.

who made this

After our award-winning research into Racist Bone Disease, we hired noted derangologist Zack Linly to look into TDS

How to buy yourself a needy malignant narcissist? Just offer him a phony, made up "Peace Prize" & he's all your's!!! No need for a formal ceremony as he'll snatch from the box & put it on all by himself. Both laughably pathetic AND pathetically laughable. 🤡 🫣

Nearly 150 years ago, Chief Standing Bear’s fight to bury his son showed the power of the human stories that the legal system often obscures

There is now a thuggish secret police operating in the United States. We are all responsible for this.

ICE chase down & tackle U.S. citizen to the ground—because he "looked illegal." The agents in tactical gear slink away from the scene after realizing mistake. Their only explanation: "Why were you running?" Probably because 2 masked men with guns were trying to kidnap him. El Monte, California.

Carl Sagan, in 1995, saw the future…

Prediction Trump: We have an American Pope cos I made America Great Again Pope: Nationalism is bad, Jesus didn't like capitalism, and tariffs hurt the poor Trump: The Pope is a bad Pope, what a nasty Pope, I call him Fake Pope, etc Just watch.

I really encourage you to listen to this. This entire incident is chilling and crosses yet another line.

Concerning. Yet, college shouldn’t just b a means to better employment. As MLK said, “Education should seek to inculcate, among other goals, two broad purposes: critical thinking and moral development." This couldn’t be more important, at this time in the U.S.

Pure comedy. Pure insanity. It’s a study in cult psychology. It makes me wonder how far the MAGA cult would follow the lunatic leader. Reminds me of Jim Jones’ sway over his cult members? What would these people NOT do, if Trump told them??

😂😂😂

So true.

“As we strike these trade deals” Who would sign a deal with Trump? He is currently punishing countries like Australia and Canada WHO HAVE DEALS SIGNED WITH TRUMP you can’t trust him

Exactly this. www.nytimes.com/2025/04/07/o...

Precisely.

Listen. Listen. Rep. Glen Ivey is a former PG County (Maryland) prosecutor (his successor was Angela Alsobrooks, now a U.S. Senator). He’s Princeton- Harvard educated. Years as a Senate counsel. He knows his stuff. You don’t want to mess with him on these issues. But do you, Mr. Cain.

This should be the biggest story in the country right now. Full video: www.instagram.com/reel/DHzLuhi...

My latest for @truthout.org: “Trump’s executive order to defund schools that allow students to investigate history he disagrees with is not only immoral — it’s illegal…Yet as the right escalates its war on history, the Democratic Party has refused to mount a meaningful defense…” #TeachTruth

Next steps? Read @kcarterjackson.bsky.social's "We Refuse: A Forceful History of Black Resistance" "Carter Jackson taps the wellsprings of memory, archives, oral histories, literature, imagination, and personal experience . . . ." — Robin D. G. Kelley www.zinnedproject.org/materials/we...

The Scottish Sunday Herald TV guide featured this preview of the Trump inauguration. It’s fucking brilliant.

In case you missed this piece yesterday, reupping it here.
