This is just a reminder that when given only two choices, trust a Black woman or don't, one should definitely trust a Black woman.
The combination of BHM & this post reminds me of this MLK quote about the white moderate (fits just as well for liberal/progressive today): "Shallow understanding from people of good will is more frustrating than absolute misunderstanding from people of ill will."
We can only hope that African-Americans recognize the overt racism of the current MAGA party and vote in huge numbers in every election between now and including 2026 midterms

Klobuchar: "Somehow 50,000 peaceful protesters in 10 below weather were able to march without any problems, and then the next day half a dozen ICE and CBP agents couldn't handle a guy with a cell phone taking video of them and shot him. I think it's pretty obvious what's going on here."

I know I don't have a ton of media followers, but I'll put this out there anyway: if you need someone to comment/offer context on the removal of the slavery exhibit at the President's House site in Philly, get in touch. I just finished an entire book on Americans' fight over Washington and slavery.

I met an absolutely lovely academic who asked whether my department back home is affected by ICE -- a question dramatizing how little info is getting out.
For the record, the small example I chose:
My dept has a carpool to pick up grad students of color who can't safely commute to campus alone.

All day I’ve been reading posts and watching video of local police fucking over the residents of their cities to the dismay of many “reasonable” people who chastised people like me when we said defund them. My purpose isn’t to say what popular it’s to say what’s true.

Interesting: D.C. Police Chief Jeffery Carroll is not responding to detailed written questions from the D.C. Council about MPD's cooperation with federal agencies on immigration enforcement.
"The council and the public need answers to these questions," says Ward 2 Councilmember Brooke Pinto today.

Of course the Mango Mummy said something stupid. The epitome of nastiness, mediocrity, mendacity & malfeasance is scared of Putin so he sends Americans to fight elsewhere so he can feel tough. Threatening Denmark & Greenland is so sad and weak. I don’t know if it’s more enraging or embarrassing.
Is he really this dumb? Does he need to be explained again how the USA was colonized and taken over by people who just landed a boat? Pretty sure some Native Americans may want to have a word with him after this comment.

Starbucks is closing stores and cutting 900 jobs in a restructuring move.
1,100 jobs were slashed earlier this year.
Reminder that Starbucks’ CEO made 6,666x more than the company's median employee in 2024.
This was the widest CEO-to-Worker pay gap in the entire S&P 500.

I ran into an advocate who told me that the 9 men detained from Canal Street last month struggled to find legal representation. Historically, Black immigrants experience disproportionately *more* removals than any other group. Anti-Black racism fuels US immigration in *every* way.

Walmart, McDonalds and Amazon are the largest employers of people who require SNAP assistance.
The CEOs earned between 18-40 million last year, 1000x their median employee income.
They took billions in profits, while their workers relied on SNAP to survive.
