Rest in Power!
We're deeply saddened to hear of the passing of Kenyan author Ngũgĩ wa Thiong’o at the age 87. His words shaped and reshaped our grasp of African resistance and decolonisation under colonialism and the postcolonial era. Rest in power. #NgugiWaThiongo

BREAKING: This is unusual trading by a politician.

Marjorie Taylor Greene bought Palantir, $PLTR, on April 8th.

On April 17th, Palantir, $PLTR, was awarded a government contract with ICE to develop ImmigrationOs.

Marjorie sits on the Homeland Security Committee.

Palantir is up nearly 50% since.

This is so fucked up. ICE agents in Massachusetts smashed the window of a car to grab a Guatemalan guy who was with his wife. They were waiting for their lawyer to arrive because he has a pending asylum case.

“Don’t grab her like that!” the daughter continued as her mother is placed into handcuffs. “Mommy, no. Mommy.”
“Mommy, no. Mommy.”

Daughter captures the moment masked ICE agents smash the window of her mother's car in order to take her into custody.

The government claims the 52-year old seamstress is an associate of the MS-13 gang.
