NEW EPISODE: I sit down with Tim Miller of The Bulwark. We discussed defending democracy against Trump's authoritarian project. Tim pulls no punches on what he's witnessed from inside the Republican Party — and why so many elites are choosing to stay silent www.youtube.com/watch?v=RHcA...

This is murder. ICE routinely deposits released detainees far from their home just to be cruel. It’s standard practice. To do this to a blind man on a wet cold winter day in Buffalo is to know you are potentially sending him to his death.
"HeLa cells became a cornerstone of modern medicine, enabling countless scientific and medical innovations, including the development of genetic mapping and even COVID-19 vaccines, but the Lacks family wasn’t compensated along the way despite that incalculable impact on science and medicine."
congress passed a law in 1947 getting rid of the name “department of war” and they’re literally not adhering to it.
The truth is that if democracy is to survive this era, we can no longer treat independent media as optional. It is essential, and we must do everything we can to help it thrive and grow — quickly. www.democracydocket.com/opinion/demo...
thinking about how Savannah Guthrie had to cancel her trip to work the Olympics because of her mom’s kidnapping but the guy who heads up the investigative body handling the case was posting pictures of himself in the US hockey locker room today lol
Propaganda during WWI and WWII in fact
Shit. MTV, itself trying their DAMNEST not to play any Black artists, was saved by Michael Jackson and Hip Hop.
Yo MTV Raps was their highest rated programming.
Not 120 Minutes.
Not Alt Nation.
Not Headbangers Ball.
And it wasn't even close.
I mean there were the first Diss Tracks in the 50s with James Brown vs. Joe Tex goin at it over a woman (naturally).
Today, James' social media feed would be a haters paradise.
BREAKING: Multiple Epstein victims tell NBC News that Pam Bondi intentionally un-redacted their names and other victims' names as a way to threaten them into silence!
“I think we all realize now that [the DOJ] really wanted to silence us, and thought that could scare us by putting our names out.”
Seriously.
Let's not even overlook how Hip-Hop has, thru sampling, has engineered R&R's longevity and revived at least one band from dissolution and kept it from falling into obscurity in Aerosmith.
Rock & Roll owes Hip-Hop a LOT.
ICE's decision to just leave cars abandoned in the roads is one of those dystopian things that makes you recoil in shock when you encounter it.
Deeply inevitable, entirely predicted, and the shit people running this country don't give a damn.
will kim is still in ICE detention
I know a ton of people and it comes down to indoctrination through the church or just flat out self hatred.
Abbott egged on the Jade Helm conspiracists, who claimed that a military training operation was actually Obama invading the state of Texas.
Now a U.S. president is deploying Texas troops to other states to dominate and intimidate those states, and Abbott is complicit.
It too has an awesome hook
Just came from protest and then an emergency community meeting for Doctor Ian Roberts. #Iowa #ICE
Since Charlie Kirk’s assassination, HBCUs received terroristic threats. Black students have been expelled or forced to withdraw. Black professors and teachers have been fired and placed on leave. A Black firefighter was placed on leave. A Black journalist was fired

The master race, y'all!
They built this technology with this use case in mind.
Chilling dispatch from Mario Guevara, the journalist trapped in ICE detention for...doing his job.
i've been studying the right-wing for over a decade
what is happening now in online right-wing spaces is fucking me up in ways that i'm currently unprepared for and don't know how to cope with
I believe they were called "The Golden Years"
Nancy Mace tweet: Time to bring back the death penalty superimposed on an image of Mr. Burns tenting his fingers as he talks to a crowd
Smithers whispers in Mr. Burns's ear
Mr. Burns pushes Smithers away
Nancy Mace tweet: We truly belive if Tyler Robinson had ever sat down across from Charlie, the great debater, the man of faith and grace he was Tyler wouldn't have pulled the trigger superimposed on an image of a chastened Mr. Burns speaking to the crowd about a different subject
u guys seemed pretty sure just a little while ago tbh
Just thinking about how the right made up an entirely fictional left wing character that resulted in so many bomb threats and the like and nobody will face consequences. But people on the left who accurately clocked the victim’s life work lost jobs.
