Republicans want a white-minority Christo-fascist government. THAT's what they're fighting for. THAT's why they love Putin.

1) Today a federal judge struck down the new admissions policy of my alma mater @TJHSST_Official. It's a horrifying result that sets the template for the next stage of the conservative assault on racial equality, which isn't going to stop at affirmative action.

Tens of thousands of residents in Gary, Indiana & now at home in Memphis too are without power for days.

I spoke w/ Gary’s Mayor Eddie Melton today and tried to connect some of the dots of what’s going on in this video.

Resources for those w/o power in Memphis in my next post

Putin has needlessly murdered so many people in the last 4 and a half years in Ukraine. So many sons, daughters, mothers, fathers, husbands, wives, granddaughters, grandsons, cousins, grandmothers, grandfathers, and friends.

And for what? Nothing. Absolutely nothing.

[Melanie D'Arrigo @DarrigoMelanie]

Mayor Mamdani is making it painfully obvious that elected officials can do things to help their constituents when you elect people who actually want to.

For non-New Yorkers, this particular stretch of the BQE is a traffic and driving nightmare.

In Gary, Indiana, without refrigeration insulin supplies are being spoiled, and people who depend on oxygen cannot pump it from their tanks due to lack of electricity. A public health disaster.

The US Postal Service has become full-on voter suppressionMAGA

[Gavin Newsom @GavinNewsom]

Our closest ally. Our critical trading partner.

And Trump is hitting Canada with 50% tariffs.

What the actual fuck are we doing?

[Michael McFaul @McFaul]

Seeing so many leaders of the free world in Ukraine today, and doing more than just showing up-- signing concrete agreements to aid Ukraine's independence fight -- makes me feel embarrassed as an American. We once were the leader of the free world. Now, we are not even an active member.

Armelle Bondonga came to this country as a child, married a U.S. citizen, and is raising a 19-month-old baby here. She showed up voluntarily to her green card interview and was arrested in front of her family. Complying with the law should not cost a mother her freedom!

After a thunderstorm last night, 100,000 households in Memphis are without power - possibly until Thursday. It’s 90 degrees outside.

Another majority Black, working class city left in the dark.

Senator Jon Ossoff:

"This is the cruelest and most arrogant group of people who ever ascended to high office - their cruelty and arrogance are only matched by their incompetence."

I agree with that 💯

Today, we remember an important turning point in history: the abolition of the transatlantic slave trade.

Here in New York City, we remember the tragedy of slavery through Dr. Lorenzo Pace’s Triumph of the Human Spirit, a memorial at the oldest and largest known burial site of free and enslaved Africans in North America.

On the International Day for the Remembrance of the Slave Trade and its Abolition, we honor all those who resisted slavery and fought for their freedom, and we remember those who were killed or died while still enslaved.

We carry their struggle forward by building a city rooted in justice, freedom and dignity for all.

An Amazon worker died in one of Amazon's warehouses. 

As he lay on the floor dying, management told the other workers: "Just turn around and don't look. Get back to work." 

That was a human being. A child of God. Sacrificed on the altar of corporate greed.

The big question to ask today is: does Hakeem Jeffries have a place in the Democratic Party, given he is so out of step with the base on everything from Medicare for All to Israel to Kushner?

[Kate from Kharkiv @BohuslavskaKate]

The undead Kremlin goblin and his lunatics decided to invade Ukraine, destroy our homes, entire towns, schools, hospitals, and everything else, and now says that Ukraine opened Pandora's box, after murdering 16 civilians in a mall just yesterday? Disgusting fuck.

Apologize to whom for what?

HARRY AND MEGHAN DON'T OWE THE ROYAL FAMILY ANY APOLOGIES.

- Tell Kate Middleton to apologize publicly for letting the world believe for almost three years that Meghan 'MADE HER CRY'.

- Tell Kate to apologize publicly to Meghan for the fact that Meghan experienced suicidal thoughts and received death threats because of that lie.

- TELL KATE TO APOLOGIZE FOR WHAT SHE DID TO A PREGNANT WOMAN. Meghan was pregnant with Archie when Kate spread that lie.

- Tell the Royal Family to apologize publicly to Meghan for refusing to clear up the lie.

- Tell Prince William to apologize publicly for sending Jason Knauf to help the Daily Mail with its case against his brother's wife.

- Tell William and Kate to apologize publicly for leaking lies about Harry and Meghan to the press.

- Tell William to apologize publicly for using the British media against his brother and for breaking the vow they made to never use each other's office against one another.

- Tell William to apologize publicly for using the media against his brother and sister-in-law every day.

- Tell William to apologize publicly for putting Harry's name on a statement that Harry had nothing to do with.

- Tell the Royal Family to apologize publicly for lying that Meghan bullied the staff.

- Tell the Royal Family to publicly apologize to Meghan for never defending her and her children against racism.

- Tell the Royal Family to apologize publicly for sending the British media after Harry and Meghan.

- Tell William to apologize publicly for throwing Harry and Meghan under the bus to take the attention away from the story about his affair with Rose Hanbury.

And that was just a few.

If Harry and Meghan ever write an apology letter or apologize to the leftovers through a microphone, I will be done with them. 👈 is where I draw the line; I will just leave X without looking back.

Instead of being in Memphis & DC, the National Guard should be in Gary helping them.

NAACP statement on US Navy considering renaming carrier after Trump, instead of after Black war hero

"Doris Miller earned his place in American history through courage, sacrifice, and service. Donald Trump only wants to serve himself."
