Turning Point sent seven buses with 350 people to the Capitol on January 6.

Wow, if you read this you might get the impression that trump is getting ready to steal the next election! And you’d be right.

ICE has reportedly been taking DNA samples from protesters they arrest, raising concerns that ICE is building a DNA database.

We want to know how ICE is retaining and/or using DNA samples, and if this has increased in the last year. We FOIAed to find out.

[͏b͏l͏a͏n͏c @dqveed]

the fact that we witnessed this in real time and yet the world is still so silent is absolutely enraging

[reclaim UC @reclaimuc]

what the absolute fuck?????

[AFRICAN & BLACK HISTORY @AfricanArchives]

In 1969, the Black Panthers launched free breakfast programs across the US, feeding thousands of kids before school. The FBI called it a threat. In some cities, police raided kitchens, smashed food, and urinated on supplies to shut them down.

Some of you have forgotten that only three years ago you were perfectly capable of writing an essay, writing a eulogy, telling a bedtime story to a child, and it should worry you that powerful companies have convinced us we can’t do things we’ve been doing for 5,000 years.

[Jason Hickel @jasonhickel]

US media keeps using the phrase “heightened tensions with Cuba” to describe what is in reality unilateral US aggression, with illegal sanctions and threats of illegal invasion, against innocent people who repeatedly say they just want to be left alone.

On what would have been Malcolm X’s 101st birthday, I honor a life that challenged this nation to confront truth, injustice, and the cost of denying human dignity.

May we continue to reflect on the urgency of freedom, self determination, and justice.

still not quite over the fact that i watched 15 year olds get sued for millions of dollars for downloading twelve songs and now we all have to accept AI slop because every tech company in the known universe decided that IP laws don't exist now that they're inconvenient for them

Israel has kidnapped the sister of the president of Ireland.

[Rep. Ilhan Omar @Ilhan]

The Nakba never ended. The genocide of Palestinians continues as the Israeli military escalates violence in Gaza, the West Bank, and Lebanon.

I'm joining @RepRashida in co-sponsoring a resolution to recognize the 78th anniversary of the Nakba and Palestinian refugees’ rights.

[Cori Bush @CoriBush]

Catastrophe; that’s what Nakba means. And for Palestinians, this catastrophe has been ongoing for 78 years.

Today marks the 78th commemoration of the Nakba. We take today to remember the ethnic cleansing of over 750,000 Palestinians and the destruction of more than 500 towns in Palestine in 1948.

[Justin Wolfers @JustinWolfers]

I made a chart to show how severely they cherry-picked this data.

[hasanabi @hasanthehun]

i think it’s insane that the dude who wore a vitezi rend medal (hungarian nazis who hunted jews) to trumps first inauguration is now tasked with hunting antifascists in the us. fascism is here

[Wendell Pierce @WendellPierce]

Under the cover of darkness, at 4:30am, far-right members of the Louisiana state legislature just advanced a new gerrymandered map out of committee that 𝗲𝗹𝗶𝗺𝗶𝗻𝗮𝘁𝗲𝘀 𝗼𝗻𝗲 𝗼𝗳 𝗼𝘂𝗿 𝘀𝘁𝗮𝘁𝗲’𝘀 𝗼𝗻𝗹𝘆 𝗺𝗮𝗷𝗼𝗿𝗶𝘁𝘆-𝗕𝗹𝗮𝗰𝗸 𝗱𝗶𝘀𝘁𝗿𝗶𝗰𝘁𝘀.
40,000 votes had been cast in the district's election but it didn't matter, they suspended the election via a 'State of Emergency' and told voters their votes were null. We have returned our state 125 years to the era of Jim Crow. With every generation I’m reminded how vile America has been to my people. This has nothing to do with political parties. This is a white racist attack to destroy the Black community’s political power.

[Organizermemes @OrganizerMemes]

We are living in a moment of overwhelming racial political disenfranchisement and I feel like not enough people are freaking out

[j aubrey 🤠 @jaubreyYT]

Hey this sounds pretty fucking bad

[Lyndon Baines Johnson @lyndonbajohnson]

The Voting Rights Act was built on an assumption by its authors (primarily Abe Fortas and Nicholas Katzenbach) that the South would only act in racist ways if allowed to and so had to be stopped from doing so at all times forever, and holy shit was that assumption dead on. -OS
