Dominique Alexander, who is speaking on behalf of the Karmelo Anthony family, went off after the guilty verdict

[Bishop Talbert Swan @TalbertSwan]

This is Amerikkka

In Texas, Karmelo Anthony was convicted after acting in self-defense during a confrontation that ended in the death of a white teenager. The jury rejected his self-defense claim. In South Carolina, Rick Chow was acquitted after chasing and shooting 14-year-old Cyrus Carmack-Belton in the back, claiming he was defending his son. The jury accepted that defense

The legal facts of these cases are different. The circumstances are different. But the outcome leaves us asking the same question: Why does self-defense seem easier to recognize when the person pulling the trigger isn’t Black?

A Black teenager fearing for his life is seen as a criminal. A grown man who chases a Black child and shoots him in the back is seen as a reasonable citizen.

For generations, Black people have watched courts, juries, media outlets, and politicians extend the benefit of the doubt to others while denying it to us. We have watched Black children be treated as threats and Black victims be placed on trial after their deaths. Black fear is discounted, Black humanity is questioned, and Black lives are afforded less grace by a system that promises equal justice under the law.

Justice cannot be color-coded. Self-defense cannot depend on the race of the person making the claim. And equal protection under the law cannot remain a slogan that Black people in American never fully experience.

🚨 MAJOR NEWS: Pope Leo XIV just declared the Iran War unjust.

Called it a war crime. Said it is “not solving anything.”

And told Americans directly — call Congress.

End this war.

[Rep. Eric Swalwell @RepSwalwell]

The President must be removed.

If Congress is too cowardly to do it, his own Cabinet must.

[Bernie Sanders @BernieSanders]

One month after starting the war in Iran, this is the statement of the President of the United States on Easter Sunday.

These are the ravings of a dangerous and mentally unbalanced individual. Congress has got to act NOW. End this war.

After much reflection, I have decided to resign from my position as Director of the National Counterterrorism Center, effective today.

I cannot in good conscience support the ongoing war in Iran. Iran posed no imminent threat to our nation, and it is clear that we started this war due to pressure from Israel and its powerful American lobby.

It has been an honor serving under @POTUS and @DNIGabbard and leading the professionals at NCTC.

May God bless America.

Candace Owens - "The reason America want a regime change in Iran is because Netenyhu is demanding it"

Her claim has now been proven. The only question left is how many more Americans have to die before they admit she was telling the truth

[Mehdi Hasan @mehdirhasan]

I know this isn’t the main story or key point today but remember that billions of dollars are being effortlessly expended today bombing a country, which Americans don’t support and no US lawmaker voted for. Remember that next time they tell you there is no money for healthcare.

[Jason Hickel @jasonhickel]

Bombing Iran in the middle of negotiations, while starving Cuba, while genociding Palestinians, while threatening to invade Greenland… the US and Israel are the single greatest threat to humanity and it’s not even close. We are all forced to live in the nightmare they create.

[Black Media Hub ✊🏿 @BlackMediaHub]

Comedian Redd Foxx and Malcolm X were best friends and worked together as dishwashers at the same restaurant in Harlem in the 1940s. The staff called Malcolm “Detroit Red”. and Foxx “Chicago Red”.

Before history froze them into separate legends, Redd Foxx and Malcolm X were just two young Black men trying to survive Harlem in the 1940s.

They were best friends, hustling side by side as dishwashers at the same Harlem restaurant, scraping by in a city that offered talent but very few chances. Among the kitchen staff, they earned nicknames that followed them like street folklore:
Malcolm was called “Detroit Red”, sharp, fiery, and already intense in thought and presence.
Foxx was “Chicago Red”, quick-witted, loud, and endlessly funny—even while elbow-deep in dirty plates.

What makes their story powerful isn’t just where they ended up, but where they started. One would grow into a revolutionary voice that challenged America’s conscience. The other would become a comedy icon, using laughter to expose the same truths from a different angle. Different paths. Same roots. Same grind.

Long before microphones, speeches, or television fame, they were brothers in struggle—laughing, debating, surviving—proving that greatness often begins behind the scenes, unseen and uncelebrated.

History rarely tells us how close legends once stood to each other. But sometimes, the most extraordinary futures are born in the most ordinary places—like a Harlem kitchen sink.

🚨CAUGHT ON TAPE: a clip going viral shows Greg Bovino’s orders to ICE agents in Minnesota, saying “this is OUR fucking city” - and pushing mass arrests. He promises “trailers of that shit,” meaning tear gas.

This is why people are dead. Share this everywhere.

Never in the history of Western democratic politics has a single government contained so many proven and brazen liars who lie so often and so effortlessly and so demonstrably.

Jones: All you do is keep people fearful because you get paid 45 million a year to keep people fearful so they don’t pay attention to the CEOS taking their healthcare. You don’t care about the American people. You want them to be afraid of immigrants because all you have is fear.

Sheriff Rochelle Bilal calls ICE “fake, made up law enforcement,” and pledges to arrest agents who commit crimes in Philadelphia:

“No law enforcement professional wears a mask … You don’t want this smoke.”
