The speech was incredible. Thanks for being someone who educates and reports important info with integrity (and murder jokes). I feel like I’ve learned so much from getting into CZM stuff over the past few years.

it's always a little funny when a massive world-historic tragedy winds up being a huge win for exactly one intended victim
What a disgrace.

ICE may have handed a suspect in the largest jewelry heist in American history a free pass by deporting him before he ever faced trial.

This is the result of Stephen Miller’s chaos. Reckless mismanagement that undermines public safety and makes a mockery of the justice system.

watching this site turn, in a week, from talking about Minneapolis and sharing tactics into a circular firing squad because of something that happened to one guy who posts here has me more black-pilled than normal.

thankfully the Internet isn't real life. shit feels less stupid on the ground.
This is bleak: Jes Staley, currently CEO of Barclays, reassuring Epstein that popular revolt against financial elites is unlikely because capitalism and pop culture have defanged social movements, leaving people more invested in consumption than justice.

Donald Trump thinks of all Black people as apes.

We didn't need the latest proof of that to know it.

As media does all it can to credit the clearly false White House story that Trump knew nothing of his own racist post, remember: Trump *does* think of all Black people as apes.

This is another effort that has taken a HUGE amount of local activism, led by community folks who care.

It CAN be done. Get involved where you live and push back.

Sir Ian McKellen performing a monologue from Shakespeare’s Sir Thomas More on the Stephen Colbert show. Never have I heard this monologue performed with such a keen sense of prescience. Nor have I ever been in this exact historical moment.TY Sir Ian, for reaching us once again.
