Le Haine by #Kassovitz is a resonating film about brotherly love between an Afro Frenchman, a French Arab and a Jewish Frenchman that drives hate that bonds them together even more. Whoever possesses the hand gun had the power to end another’s life or not. Beautiful 🎥

There, he said it and he’s going to do it. Not try to to do it. He’ll do what he can to control as much of the outcomes of the 2026 midterms as he possibly can.

I wrote this song on Saturday, recorded it yesterday and released it to you today in response to the state terror being visited on the city of Minneapolis. It’s dedicated to the people of Minneapolis, our innocent immigrant neighbors and in memory of Alex Pretti and Renee Good.

It means they CAN be impeached, not that they all go together based on the POTUS being impeached. A great resource for this kind of thing, as well as historical perspective, is @heathercoxrichardson.skystack.xyz

I will give Suozzi more credit than he gives himself. He knew what the vote was. He just figured the way to "win" was to support the funding because that's more "centrist" and buck the Democratic majority. But morally, he knew what this was about. He ended up wrong morally AND politically.

The killing of Alex Pretti is a heartbreaking tragedy. It should also be a wake-up call to every American, regardless of party, that many of our core values as a nation are increasingly under assault.

Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr. dedicated his life fighting for equity and justice. He taught us that even in the face of intimidation and discrimination, we must never stop working towards a better future – a lesson that feels especially relevant today.

i think this MLK day the thing to focus on is the strategic focus and tactical brilliance of the civil rights movement and the way it was laser focused on a set of achievable goals

The @gofundme for fugitive murderer jonathan ross is almost $200,000. The law states criminals cannot financially benefit from their crimes. #gofundme take this down you are complicit in crime. I hope Renee Nicole Good's family sues him and
@gofundme for libel, slander and damages.

ICE committed cold-blooded murder in broad daylight in Minneapolis.

ICE cannot continue brutalizing our communities.

I don’t know how anyone can think this is acceptable.
