Please read. At the very least, we can be witnesses to this attempt to erase people of color, as well as LGBTQia2S+ folks, women, scientists….
Thread: part of an ongoing project to erase people of color from military history:
1/ The US Government has quietly removed a memorial to Black soldiers who died in World War II from the Netherlands American Cemetery in Margraten, South Limburg. The move follows a complaint from the right-wing Heritage Foundation to the American Battle Monuments Commission. ⬇️

Trump’s aid cuts are killing far more Nigerian Christians than Islamic terrorists are. Independent monitors in Nigeria report 33 deaths this year in attacks against Christians (fewer than the 88 Muslims killed). But Trump cut off aid that helped save 270,000 lives a year in Nigeria. 270,000 > 33.

Oklahoma is set to execute Tremane Wood.
He was sentenced to death under Oklahoma's felony murder rule, a law that allows anyone involved in a felony that leads to a death to be criminally responsible for the death.
The confessed killer, Tremane's brother, was sentenced to life imprisonment.

The press doesn’t get away unscathed: “The legacy media is apparently more interested in the climate musings of an erstwhile PC mogul than a sober assessment by the world’s leading climate scientists.”

You can’t reboot the planet if you crash it
What Gates is putting forward aren’t legitimate arguments that can be made in good faith. They are shopworn fossil fuel industry talking points.

Thou shalt not support a man who bulldozes the White House to build himself a golden ballroom whilst the government is shut down because he doesn’t want the financial records tying him to Jeffrey Epstein to come out.

Yes. It’s true. And it breaks my heart. I grew up going there often - weekly as a teenager! Their drinking age was lower than ours in TX so I would drive all my friends back and forth so no one would drive drunk. It was home. So many there don’t want ANY of this. But it’s always been corrupt up top.

I am sounding the alarm that the GOP is engaged in an all out attack voting rights and free and fair elections. Voter suppression, gerrymandering, and troops in blue cities are just some of the ways they are using to try to rig the rules to keep power in 2026 and beyond.

Here's the latest on Canadians aboard Freedom Flotilla vessel the Conscience, who were taken by Israeli forces early this morning.
So far, political leaders have been silent. I also reached out to Canada's ambassador to Israel, who has not yet responded.
