Margaret Garner, a Runaway Slave Who Killed Her Own Daughter (Published 2019) In one soul-chilling moment, Garner committed a desperate act, raising the question: Is slavery worse than death? Her life inspired a Toni Morrison novel.

⚠️WOKE CONTENT⚠️™️

🧵 This story was hard to digest, my friends. After you read this, you'll get an idea as to how bad slavery was. Let me tell you about Margaret Garner.

International Relations Is Not a Morality Play: What To Expect From the War With Iran The Trump administration has no plan and no path to a good outcome.

"The most relevant question is not 'is this government bad?' or 'do they deserve it?' The most relevant question is 'will this use of military force make things better, enough to be worth the death and suffering it’ll impose?'

It’s hard to see how this will." www.liberalcurrents.com/internationa...

Still in pending even though I put in the application on October 7 of 2025, which was over four months ago, and that there are, in her words, hundreds of thousands of people that are in the same situation because Tarrant County is one of the top 10 counties that people in the US are moving to.

Matt registered to vote on October 7, 2025, in Tarrant County, TX. Four months later, his registration is still pending. When he contacted the county, he was told that he was one of hundreds of thousands.

Check your registration, TX!

Louisiana now mandates that a poster-size display of the Ten Commandments in "large, easily readable font," be required in all public classrooms. Here you go.

And then it’s an image of the 10 Commandments in Hebrew

I made this ages ago when they first mentioned the law. So if they’re going to do it, they better do it in its original language! 🤷🏻‍♀️

Not sure who needs to hear this but the voter fraud rate is a mere 0.000003%. Anyone telling you otherwise is making shit up so they can take away your right to vote.

🧵 The story of #HenriettaLacks is a must read. Lacks went to Johns Hopkins because she felt a "knot" in her womb. She had previously told her cousins about the "knot" and they assumed correctly that she was pregnant.

Just a quick update from the Twin Cities. (Please forgive the unsolicited message). THINGS ARE NOT BETTER IN MINNEAPOLIS. The media is mostly moving on, Trump is focused on other stuff, BUT NOTHING HAS CHANGED ON THE GROUND. More than 2,000 DHS thugs continue to roam the streets, abducting people 24/7, assaulting legal observers with impunity, and routinely denying 1st, 4th, and 5th amendment rights. Drones and helicopters are overhead every day. Hundreds and hundreds of terrified families have not left their homes since mid-December ... relying on the community to bring them food and help with rent and other necessities. (Those people are NOT violent drug cartel sex offending murderers, as DHS would tell you. Most are legal residents or citizens.)  If anything, things have just become more stressful and intractable (think trench warfare as a suitable metaphor): The resistance is better organized and numerous, but DHS has become more clever and better at disguise... and the county sheriff's office is increasingly supporting them . Do not let anyone tell you that Homans (the new person in charge of the occupation) is making anything better. Do not let anyone tell you that 700 ICE agents leaving the city has made much of a difference; the remaining force (again, ~2,000) is still larger than the entire city's police force (which is legally unable to do anything). Please call your congressional reps ... especially if there is any chance the administration might listen to them.

A desperate plea sent to me by a Minneapolis resident who's been on the front lines since the beginning of the ICE occupation:

Mockler: He's trying to paint the peaceful protesters as lawless people. You know who's actually lawless? ICE. A Republican appointed judge said they violated more court orders in January than most agencies have throughout their entire existence.

So the “everyone should be armed” second amendment crowd is using the fact the a man was armed (maybe) as justification?

Is this right?

Disabled son of ICE detainee dies after 30 days of hospitalization It had been months since Wael Tarabishi seen his father. The family is calling on ICE to release Maher Tarabishi so he may attend his son's funeral.

In October, ICE grabbed Maher Tarabishi.

He was a 24/7 caregiver for his disabled son Wael.

At the time of Maher’s detention, disability advocates warned that taking away Wael’s caregiver put his life at risk.

Wael died on Friday at age 30.

ICE caused his death.

They didn’t get to say goodbye.

People freaking out about the insurrection act being invoked need to calm down. Trump is deeply underwater with ICE deployments as it is. Having the military go in and shoot at unarmed protesters in Minneapolis will not go the way he thinks and it will be the beginning of the end for his regime.
