🧵 Did you know a Black woman stood up against a notorious gangster? Stephanie St. Clair, aka Madame Queen, was a Caribbean immigrant who built a gambling empire in Harlem during the 1920s–30s. (cont)

SNL calling out Trump's desperate Epstein distraction is the exact kind of satire we need. Survivors of sexual violence deserve justice; we can't let powerful men bury their secrets behind bad jokes and press conferences. Laugh, then stay angry and keep demanding accountability. #SNL

Kara Walker employs the classical iconography of the defeated warrior: Jackson’s limp arm hangs uselessly dragging a sword it can no longer lift. He is the agent of his own demise, like the Confederacy

…you’re pretty much limited to the DC area, Charlotte, or the Triangle.

ICE has not left Chicago, but their tactics aren’t as dependent on weather & large numbers of targets outside.

Seriously

Most of what CPB did while here was look for landscaping crews & arrest people for gardening while brown. They used choppers & drones to spot crews & then the unmarked SUV’s would rush to that location (mostly middle class neighborhoods where people hired a service to do their lawn…

I'm seeing people wonder why ICE is going after Charlotte.

ICE has been at war with Charlotte's sheriff ever since he won in 2018.

We'd covered this at Bolts back in the day; this quote is from that sheriff:
“When the 8 African American sheriffs took over the largest counties in North Carolina, it became a threat to the good ol’ boy system,” says the sheriff of Charlotte. These new sheriffs broke ties with ICE.

But GOP lawmakers cracked down this week, overbidding the governor’s veto to adopt this law:
North Carolina GOP Is Cracking Down on the Black Sheriffs Who Stood Up to ICE
Boosted by new supermajorities, Republicans are closing in on legislation to mandate more collaboration with ICE and preempt local policies hard-won by immigrants’ rights advocates.

made a similar point on the opinions podcast this week in response to the idea that epstein is a dead end. not only are actual voters interested in this but it divides the gop and puts pressure on the president. it would be political malpractice to treat it as a sideshow
The usual suspects are telling Dems that Epstein won’t win elections, get back to “affordability” and I think my head might explode. www.offmessage.net/p/force-a-re...
Force A Referendum On The Epstein Coverup
It divides Republicans much more than "affordability" or any other economic issue.

Amazon announced 14,000 layoffs. Its CEO made over $40M last year.

UPS announced 48,000 layoffs. Its CEO made over $24M last year.

Intel announced 20,000 layoffs. Its new CEO's pay package is valued at nearly $69M.

This is what I mean when I say the system is rigged.
