This is one of the most important cases that galvanized Black people in the late 40s through the 1950s. Almost every major Black leader had a comment about it. It is also one of the most successful defense committees that was organized in the 20th century. Almost no one knows about it today.
On this day in 1948, an all-white jury sentenced a Black woman and two of her teenage sons to death for killing an armed white man in self-defense.

"In my few days in Minnesota, I’ve been witness to countless scenes that remind me of moments I’ve seen during previous trips covering conflicts around the world," photojournalist @cengizyar.com writes. "The wars we’ve carried out as a nation abroad have come home."

Epstein survivor: We've only seen half of the documents. They're saying that the reason they didn't release the other half was to protect survivors. Yet I've found all of my identifying information. It's not just my name, it's my birthday, my address. They really failed all of the survivors on this.

Given that any historical Helen would be 4’ nothing and darker than me, one is forced to conclude that Charlie is offended by Lupita because his notion of ‘Western Civilization’ is largely based on sword and sandal movies he saw as a kid in the fifties

Peter Thiel has been open about this for a long time. Trump is a way to break the republic, which can then be replaced by “free economic zones” with oligarchs as dictators and tech as a taskmaster for helpless humans without any rights. (1/2)

It seems that Tom Homan’s shift to a more humane approach is just ICE agents targeting local schools. Reports of parents getting abducted outside of schools, agents entering schools, hanging out around children’s bus stops.

🚨"They're stealing the car!"
As Tom Homan vows "safer" ICE operations, ICE rammed into a driver's car in Minneapolis—in front of an elementary school—then chased him. After failing to catch him—they stole his car. "Back up before I f*cking spray you!" ICE yelled at observers ⬇️

ICE is upset that ICE isn't welcome in restaurants after ICE ordered food at a restaurant, ate it, then arrested restaurant employees, and ICE believes this is someone else's fault, do I have that right?
