Police Deputy Commissioner assaults Black woman—for observing him on public sidewalk.

Hits her so forcefully—she goes flying backwards several feet.

Woman hit the ground hard—but he just walks away without checking on her.

Attacker was Deputy Commissioner Craig Macy of Buffalo Police Department.

The Chief of Police issued a statement saying the video was "concerning" and needed "review."

All of the officers involved are still on the job—not placed on administrative leave.

Incident occurred in the entertainment district on Chippewa Street in downtown Buffalo, New York.

Reese doesn't have an account on this platform—so posting first full length and credited video here to help raise awareness.

What kind of man beats on a child in this way?

One who enjoys it.

Our time of reckoning with white power is coming.

Better be ready.

I want every Democrat on the judiciary committee to ask Todd Blanche why he moved convicted child sex trafficker Ghislaine Maxwell to a bougie minimum security prison camp, where they gave her a fucking puppy.

Every single senator needs to demand and answer to this question.

Honor-roll student and Sachse High senior Daniel Erving left home to go fishing with friends and was found dead in Lake Ray Hubbard days later. A 19-yo has been charged with tampering with evidence with intent to impair in connection with the investigation. Another family is sadly left seeking answers after their loved one's questionable death. Daniel's family deserves transparency and a thorough investigation that follows every lead!

History has a way of repeating itself with America choosing white mediocrity over Black excellence.

In 1969, the NBA adopted the now-iconic silhouette based on Jerry West. By then, Bill Russell had already won 11 NBA championships in 13 seasons, revolutionized the game, and had just led the Celtics past West’s Lakers once again in the NBA Finals. West, despite being one of basketball’s all-time greats, had not yet won an NBA championship. His lone title would come in 1972.

Many have asked ever since: if the logo was going to represent basketball excellence, why wasn’t it Bill Russell, the most dominant winner the league had ever seen?

Now fast forward more than five decades.

The WNBA has one of the most accomplished players in basketball history in A’ja Wilson. She led the University of South Carolina to an NCAA championship, has won three WNBA championships, four league MVP awards, Olympic gold medals, Finals MVP honors, and has established herself as one of the greatest players the women’s game has ever seen.

Yet much of the conversation about the “face of the league” has centered on Caitlin Clark, a young white player who is still at the beginning of her professional career and, with no championships at either the NCAA or WNBA levels, has come remotely close to matching Wilson’s résumé of championships and accolades.

That raises an uncomfortable question:

Why does American sports culture elevate white stars as the defining image of a league while Black athletes who have built dynasties and accumulated historic accomplishments are treated as secondary?

Why does sustained Black excellence have to compete for the recognition that comes so naturally for white mediocrity?

Bill Russell deserved to be recognized as the defining symbol of his era.

A’ja Wilson deserves to be recognized as the defining player of hers.

The conversation isn’t about who’s the most talented. That’s obvious.

It’s about why America thinks only whiteness can represent greatness.

The Trump Administration is taking your money and giving it to the President's children.

[Joaquin Castro @JoaquinCastrotx]

ICE’s bounty hunters and agents are stalking Latinos across the country. They are looking for Latino men at construction sites and supply stores, listening for who is speaking Spanish, and stopping them. In the cases of Lorenzo Salgado Araujo and Joan Sebastian Guerrero, they have engaged in cold-blooded murder.

In the face of this administration's racial hatred and bigotry, we have to stand up together and refuse to be silent.

E. Jean Carroll was just paid more than $5.6 million by the sitting president of the United States after a jury found him liable for sexually abusing her and a federal judge clarified that what he did was rape.

That should be the biggest story in the country today.

The president raped a woman.

She took him to court.

And she won.

Donald Trump’s spiral continues. The failed president, pocketing billions as he drives up prices, is afraid to lose the midterms. So he will reheat debunked election conspiracy theories and tell bizarre new lies to deny his 2020 defeat and attack voting rights. This is a disaster for Trump puppet Mike Collins. Already mired in scandal, Mike will now have to double down on conspiracy theories toxic in the General Election. From the start, Trump’s obsession with Georgia elections revealed his fury that Black voters were instrumental to his defeat. I'm asking concerned citizens nationwide to join me and support our voter protection efforts in Georgia.

There is no such thing as absolute immunity. The vice president is trying to tell us the president’s personal military can kill people without consequence.

🚨 NEWS: Wisconsin election officials have found probable cause that Elon Musk violated the state's election bribery law and have referred complaints against him to the Brown County District Attorney.

The bipartisan commission voted 5-1 after concluding there's probable cause Musk unlawfully offered $1 million to induce voting in the 2025 Wisconsin Supreme Court election.

[DeSota @desota]

This situation is completely ridiculous... being appointed as a U.S. Senator without any prior experience in elected office, relying solely on a recognizable last name.

This is an affront to many Americans, and she is likely to be a temporary pawn for Trump... the voters in South Carolina need to rectify this choice in November... -DW

[Sarah Ironside 💙 @SarahIronside6]

Today the President of the United States officially paid a woman $5 million for sexually assaulting her. What an absolute disgrace this Nation has become under this administration.

BREAKING: In a stunning appearance, Pete Buttigieg just took the stage in Omaha, Nebraska where he is rallying to defeat MAGA candidates in swing districts. This enormous audience showed up for Pete in a red-district. Let’s go.

[Wajahat Ali @WajahatAli]

Meanwhile pregnant moms have actually died as a result of her helping to overturn Roe and her own MAGA base calls her a traitor for being able to read the Constitution and support birthright citizenship.

Always the victim...

Ossoff: "We understand the president may be threatening to declare sitting senators illegitimate. If that's the course of action he pursues, he's calling Georgia voters illegitimate ... he was humiliated and furious as a committed lifelong racist that it was Black voters in Georgia who were instrumental in his defeat"

The same people who told you that Ketanji Brown Jackson wasn't qualified to sit on the US Supreme Court are totally fine with lindsey graham's sister being senator because she's lindsey graham's sister.

🔥@adammocklerr: “This is what terrifies me about the direction of this country — I don't think there’s anything Trump could have done that these two conservatives wouldn't be defending.”

(In fairness this is true for every Republican @abbydphillip brings on)

[Kaitlan Collins @kaitlancollins]

I asked border czar Tom Homan why ICE agents weren't wearing body cameras in Maine or Texas, given Congress gave DHS $20 million for them back in April.
