LYONS: Renee Good and Alex Pretti
HASSAN: I'm glad to hear you say their names. Because so far this morning, as well as in 3 hours of testimony Tuesday, you failed to say their names a single time

They’re taking children from Minnesota and locking them up like criminals in detention camps in Texas.

How do white people delude themselves into believing that they can identify anti-Black racism better than a Black person? Enough to refute the validity of a Black person’s claim of anti-Black racism??? Like…how does one get to that level of ability to lie to themselves?

Our Supreme on the job: Doing trump’s dirty work.
The Supreme Court is considering a case challenging Section 2 of the Voting Rights Act — and it’s expected to overturn it, a change that legal historians say would make it easier to dilute Black voting power and roll back decades of political gains.

The Supreme Court may soon diminish Black political power, undoing generations of gains
The Supreme Court appears poised to abolish a key part of the Voting Rights Act. It may draw on a constitutional amendment that empowered African Americans.

Hakeem Jeffries went from “no masks” to “no masks in an arbitrary and capricious fashion.” Schumer has adopted a similar position. At some point, you have to take a stand on something. Not allowing armed men in masks to roam our streets seems like an easy one. Apparently not.

Nothing you are hearing about this city is true If it’s coming from national level sources, we still have fascist terror squads breaking into homes illegally we have warrantless searches going on and mass convoys of masked fascist terrorizing every moment of the day.
I’m on the scene at Franklin and 1st. A convoy of about a couple dozen ICE/HSI agents broke the entryway into an apartment building at 6am. No warrant presented. Less than 24 hours ago, Tom Homan announced the end of large convoys in Minnesota… Bullshit.
