@TheBaddestMitch My husband and I came to see you! You were so good! He wasn't as familiar with you, but thought you were hilarious. I wanted to stay for a pic but I wasn't feeling well 😫.

BREAKING: 🚨🚨🚨🚨
Judge Farmer tells AG John Fowler that he does not believe that the Attorney Generals office has jurisdiction over RICO or Arson in #CopCityRICO case. This is likely to be appealed by state, but could destroy the prosecution.

Yesterday, a Trump-appointed federal judge upheld the S.C. ban on teaching truthfully about U.S. history. So let’s talk about the Stono Rebellion, when nearly 100 enslaved African and African-American men & women made a bid for freedom on September 9, 1739. (1/9)

The U.S. Department of Agriculture has ended key support for Black farmers and will no longer use the term “socially disadvantaged,” saying it has sufficiently addressed historic discrimination https://t.co/QBc0urlOe8

Four federal prosecutors withdrew from a civil rights case against a convicted ex-LA sheriff's deputy today after their new boss reached a rare "post-trial plea agreement" that calls for a misdemeanor and no prison.

"This is a modern day Mein Kampf,” Mayor Adams told a small group of supporters at Brooklyn's Rehoboth Cathedral today, referring to calls for his resignation.

The comment, which came after 4 of his deputy mayors resigned, is being blasted as offensive. https://t.co/W8tokRhVXd

This is such a horrendous argument. If an attempted genocide happened in my hometown right now, where there are records of my family there going back to at least the mid 1800s, I would definitely lose more than 70 family members all at once.

[Neurofluoresce 🇮🇱🇺🇲🦎📟 @Neurofluoresce]

"I lost 70 family members in gaza" no one fucking has that many family members to lose, what the fuck. LOL. Who believes this shit???

BREAKING

Undocumented students in FL will no longer benefit from free in-state tuition.

Many of these students have DACA and have been in the county since they were a toddler.

The students we spoke to say this comes as a blow.

“Are you going to be a coward?” Zül-Qarnain Nantambu asked himself. “Are you going to take a stand?” With the world watching, New Orleans-based artist Nantambu, 41, reached into his clothes and unfurled a joint Palestinian and Sudanese flag.

Not only is Fremont CA voting on an ordinace that makes it illegal to be homeless, the proposed law also targets volunteers with misdemeanors + jail time if they "aid and abet" anyone who is homeless.

They're literally trying to jail anyone who helps those with no place to live.

"The city’s vast networks of workers’ centers, unions and community organizations have spent months preparing, disbursing flyers and cards and sending the message to residents: Don’t talk to ICE."

Does anyone know how to actually speak to a @FedExHelp customer service rep and not just get taken through the same automated response then hung up on?

[Bishop Talbert Swan @TalbertSwan]

Marcellus Williams, a Black man, was executed on September 24, despite credible evidence that called his conviction into question and widespread support for clemency. Governor Mike Parson refused to grant it.

Today, Parson commuted the sentence of Eric DeValkenaere, a white Kansas City police officer convicted of murdering Cameron Lamb, a Black man, after unlawfully entering his property without a warrant. DeValkenaere walked free.

A Black man with overwhelming evidence of innocence: Executed.
A white officer guilty of killing a Black man: Released.

This is more than a miscarriage of justice—this is systemic racism in action.
