in case you didn’t know, butter pecan ice cream exists because Black people in the South weren’t allowed to eat vanilla ice cream in public..because it was white ... so they added butter nd some pecans to it to make it acceptable for them to eat in public.
Just a little reminder on this Juneteenth,and remember that, when you’re eating butter pecan ice cream: the thousands of different acts of resistance, both great nd small, that black folks have had to use to overcome the scourge of white supremacy always ...
ICE deport couple—leave their 2 dogs locked inside their home to die.
They were left without food or water for 1 whole week—until apartment manager went to check on the smell.
"Yes! This is ICE's fault!" said animal welfare guy.
"It is 1000% their responsibility to notify us."
If any law enforcement agency involved knows that there are animals at the scene—they are mandated reporters to animal welfare.
"Why are people coming out of left field to defend ICE in this situation?" he asks.
Incident occurred near Chicago, Illinois.
this year we've seen police shoot a black woman's dog over a noise complaint, critically injure a black woman and kill a 1yr black child over alleged shoplifting, and chase down and murder a white navy veteran because they thought he was black.
and none of it is national news.
@dilliah1@Gay__Edge In the 21st century most people and children have phones this is not a real criticism 😂. Secondly they’re not and haven’t killed people looking for phones they’re after them for other bullshit and after the fact realize: oh I blew that out of proportion.
@dorkymcsporky@Ange_Amene@mlalex43 She’s telling you the math isn’t there. This is really not hard to understand. She doesn’t care. She predicted Kamala would lose before Election Day because the MATH isn’t there.
@_SofaKingPetty@Ange_Amene But VOTERS don’t expect ELECTED REPRESENTATIVES to care more about getting others elected. That’s why and when a lot of them fucking lose—VOTERS in your constituency matter more than idiots in the party, especially if they don’t pay your campaign.
@_SofaKingPetty@Ange_Amene If the party don’t put $$ into electing people then it don’t fucking matter that’s what you’re not getting. Yes there’s a quid pro quo to be expected and the answer is even when they give people $$ they can still get shafted by individual members. This is not hard
@_SofaKingPetty@Ange_Amene Again I’m not expecting Karen Bass or Isaac Bryan to be out there making sure the party, Talarico, Mamdani, or Platner get shit done or get in the office. I expect them to make my life and our local shit better. They’re all members of the Dem party. And you think I failed civics?
America … a country where a cop can shoot and kill a one year old on suspicion his Mom stole diapers and the cop gets paid leave
The ICE agent who killed Renee Good still hasn’t been charged
The agents who killed Alex Pretti are walking free
They know they’ll get away with it

Republicans keep lying about this because if they told the truth, their base would never support it.
This has a community note related helpful and the source the note points to has literally no mention of water. Yes you can infer by resources that includes water but this is the kind of “citation” that would fail you in school. STOP using AI, it is wrong a LOT.
@knownunknownsvd@naaycoqui@gramscifunk It is not the most important race on the ballot for people in Texas! The senators do not meaningfully affect people’s lives as a seat or you think Talarico winning cancels out Cruz??? It’s meaningful for us OUTSIDE of Texas but local matters more inside of it.
