They literally admitted to removing black jurors because they were visibly empathizing with Karmelo. It's systemic racism!

CNN = Owned by a right-wing billionaire.
CBS = Owned by a right-wing billionaire.
FOX = Owned by a right-wing billionaire.
WaPo = Owned by a right-wing billionaire.
WSJ = Owned by a right-wing billionaire.

Ah yes, tell me more about how the mainstream media is “far left.”

oh but i was told providing housing for the homeless and feeding all schoolchildren was too expensive and unfeasible

[ProdiGyal @liilliiD]

The type of MJ lore you have to look for by yourself. The media is too busy telling you how much he hated being Black, hated Black People, didn't uplift them, never did anything for them.
His Legacy surviving such history rewriting and character assassinations is a miracle.

[Dr. Allison Wiltz @queenie4rmnola]

Anger is a human emotion. All people express anger, including Black women. The problem is that some assume we are either always angry or that our anger is irrational, rather than a response to injustice

I'm going to try to watch this film, because the Indonesian gov't is lying about what's happening to the Papuan people. For years the Indigenous people of West Papua, Sumatra and other regional islands have been protesting against land theft for colonial agricultural expansion.

[Qasim Rashid, Esq. @QasimRashid]

This is Adam Hoffman, a 49-year-old Waco, TX attorney. He faced life without parole for repeatedly raping a young boy. Texas AG Ken Paxton offered him 1 day in jail and no need to register as a sex offender. A judge increased his sentence to a whopping 60 days. He gets out in June.

Not an immigrant. Not a trans person. Not a Black or brown person. Every MAGA accusation is a confession.

If you poured a gallon of poison in a CEO's pool, you'd be arrested, for attempted murder.

They pour 10,000 gallons into your drinking water, that's just business.

Locals didn’t think Roundup was being sprayed near Lake Tahoe. So @natethecurious went to find out.

Nate dug up maps from the Forest Service's website, and headed to a spot where one of them indicated spraying might already be happening.

Public uproar has echoed across the Tahoe area since April, when our yearlong Mother Jones investigation revealed that, in California, the fastest-growing use of glyphosate—the main ingredient in Roundup—is to spray forested areas, including this massive new project around Lake Tahoe.

As the public outcry grew over the past few weeks, news begin circulating on social media that the Forest Service was backing off. “They cancelled the plan!" one person wrote. "People showed up to meetings, called our representatives and it’s finally cancelled. OUR VOICES MATTERED ON THIS ONE.”

But that wasn't true. At Sierra-at-Tahoe, Nate stood on a mountainside that clearly had been doused in glyphosate. The plants around him were nearly all dead—killed with the controversial herbicide, which the World Health Organization's International Agency for Research on Cancer has deemed a probable human carcinogen—and that a 2020 report from the US Environmental Protection Agency said likely harms 93 percent of endangered species.

Stop telling me that the problem is Netanyahu.

Israelis gathered together to watch bombs destroy entire towns in Lebanon on a big screen together.

Israeli society is deeply sick and dangerous.

Just days after scientists found that bee venom can kill cancer cells, the Trump administration is set to close the nation’s primary bee research laboratory.

[khaleesi🧍🏽‍♀️ @shelovesore]

Lmao I have 2.
Mother Teresa and Mahatma Gandhi.

Mother Teresa let dying patients be treated with blunt reused needles, had a mortality rate about 40% in her clinics and when she was confronted about the conditions, said there’s something beautiful in seeing the poor accept their lot, and to suffer it like Christ’s Passion. Doctors called her facilities “homes for the dying”. And cancer patients were given aspirin for pain.

Gandhi too, the face of universal peace, the person that said “be the change you wish to see”, spent years in South Africa describing Black Africans as “savage”, “dirty” and living like animals. He campaigned actively to prove to British rulers that Indians were superior to native Black Africans. He also organized a brigade to help suppress a Zulu uprising. His defenders say he evolved. Maybe.

Nobody likes to talk about the entire sides of history.

And these are their summarized versions btw.

[Joel D. Anderson 🆓 @byjoelanderson]

One of those Black assistants who had the resume but never got the promotion. Arguably his repeated failure to get that call-up helped to spur the Rooney Rule.

[g. @GeauxGabrielle]

IDGAF what yall do with your white children as long as it is not done with the tax dollars of a majority Black city.

Fund your own segregation. You’re not stealing from Black people and Black children to do it.

And the ENTIRE STATE OF LOUISIANA just said so.

[Fly Sistah 🪷 @Fly_Sistah]

I appreciate Dr. Simpson going to battle with these racist who don't want to see Black people become doctors. Black babies are 3 times more likely than white babies to die when cared for by white doctors. The mortality rate for white babies isn't affected by the doctor's race.
