70 years ago, on this date, Emmett Till was kidnapped and brutally murdered by white men.
His family, including his cousin who was with him at the time, is repeating the train ride he took from Chicago to Mississippi in 1955 to mark the anniversary

There’s no conversation I’m willing to have with people spouting lies around the COVID vaccine
Not only am I an epidemiologist who SPECIALIZES in infectious diseases, but my 31 y/o brother thought COVID was bullshit too until it put him in a coma for a week before killing him.

Most Americans genuinely believe there's some grand overarching force that stops illegal things from happening. That's the truth. We think there's a Boss who says "I won't allow this" and are genuinely surprised when an illegal or unfair thing happens anyway.

While our attention keeps getting pulled in so many directions, the US continues to coerce other countries into serving as sites for its ongoing renditions.

‼️The same plane ICE Air used to transport third-country nationals to Djibouti and South Sudan just landed in Rwanda, which earlier this month agreed to accept third-country nationals from the U.S. While it could be unrelated, it’s highly likely this was an ICE flight.

Texas Democrats show that all of their protestation at redistricting was just theater. They're all back in Texas, willfully allowing Republicans to further destroy representative liberal democracy.
That's why these systems don't work. Raw power doesn't balk at weak symbolic stands w/ no backbone.

Something we should really think about is that "the children we are starving to death were already sick" isn't supposed to be some kind of exculpatory defense, it's an attempt to inject the idea that it's okay to kill people who are sick or diseased or disabled into mainstream conversation

Markwayne Mullin Violated the STOCK Act by Failing to Disclose Hundreds of Thousands of Dollars in Trades
“Much like tax returns, financial disclosures occasionally need to be amended to reflect the most accurate, up-to-date information. That’s what we did here,” said a Mullin spokesperson.

Another ICE "assault" case unravels. Border Patrol and ICE are arresting US citizens and then after they find out that they are US citizens, they are charging them with "assault" to justify their actions. This is clearly DHS policy at this point. We've seen it repeatedly now.

It’s a terrible bill. It will literally kill people. The most vulnerable among us will suffer as the wealthiest benefit. It’s perverse. I wish there were something I could do. But alas, I am only a U.S. Senator from Alaska whose “no” vote would kill the bill. So I voted yes. You get it.

there should not be one person in amerika who is unaware of my people in the camps, this did not begin in 2025- all thanks to ms grant for writing on this
I wrote about the day the president attended the opening of an American concentration camp:
The Grand Opening of an American Concentration Camp
The Republicans are proudly calling it “Alligator Alcatraz.” Let’s call it what it is.

We still have no idea who the ICE agents are. They could be insurrectionists, extremist militiamen or criminals themselves, chasing law-abiding citizens down the street for recording their kidnappings. The odds they aren't are low. Congress must raise hell about this. A masked gang runs our country.
