It's impossible to tell the Selma and Bloody Sunday story if you erase Jimmie Lee Jackson.
It's literally sanitizing the story.
There's also the story of Amelia Boynton. Famously photographed beaten unconscious.
She would reprise her Selma March with President Obama at the age of 109
My scientist daughter’s mantra: oh- give me the confidence of a mediocre white man.
2026 *Democracy Summer* =/= 1964 Freedom Summer.
Emmanuel Damas, another individual killed in ICE custody.
He had a toothache. They ignored it. He died of spesis. Read that again.
Why do we need to fund this murderous agency?

I think about this Tony Benn speech much more than I used to
When this ICE shit started, a mutual I’d never met asked how to help. I sent him to a friend’s kid’s preschool that was struggling to find patrollers. He’s been there almost daily, even in brutal cold, at a school where he didn’t know anyone, to keep folks safe. We finally met and got beers tonight.
If this war is so necessary, let Barron suit up already. Why is he so ready to send everybody else’s child to die?
My granny was a master southern baker. None of us grandkids like pie cause the smell of cooked fruit is too much!
No votes on ANYTHING untill we vote on the War Powers Resolution.
*protecting your personal peace* is not the important thing when your country is murdering people across the world. please be serious.
Our federal government killed a disabled genocide survivor and is covering up for a child rapist. And that is just today’s news. It is just unconscionable to be treating this as normal or acceptable in any way.

Aliya Rahman, woman who was dragged out of car by ICE in Minneapolis: "I've spent the last month learning the names of the tendons in my shoulder, because both of my shoulders are torn -- cartilage and tendons. But what I haven't learned is the names of the people who did this to me."
It sounded better in the original German.
Henceforth, I will be describing the way that U.S. men’s hockey spectacularly squandered good will, brand recognition, and fan loyalty as “pulled a Target.”
They pulled a Target.
Bc his involuntary med condition humiliated two artist on an important night. The people in power didn’t protect the person w the tic (I’m sure he was mortified), those on stage, nor the audience as a whole. Just because you don’t mean harm doesn’t mean harm wasn’t done.
It’s “let’s protect women in sports” until the President mocks a women’s hockey team.
It’s “let’s get the birth rate up” until Tennessee makes abortion punishable by death.
It’s “we’re going after dangerous criminals” until they realize it’s easier to lock up British grannies
“If passed, the SAVE Act will disenfranchise 20 million voters.”
Trump has pushed the Republicans to hold a vote in the House this week.
Call your Rep and your Senators.

The thru line from slavery to Asian Exclusion Acts and the War on Drugs and Mexican Repatriation and Jim Crow runs right into the War on Drugs, mass deportation, and private prisons. There is nothing more American than oppression. We have always had to fight for survival here. Always.
An ICE agent shot and killed Ruben Ray Martinez, a US citizen and San Antonio resident, in March 2025. Then ICE and the Texas Department of Public Safety covered it up. He was 23 years old. I am calling for a full investigation into this shooting, including why there was an 8-month cover up.
📌 Folks, you’re on social media, here is something everyone can do. Google “ICE facility being built in” and insert your state or county. If you find one, put it on blast and contact your local officials to say you oppose it. We need to protest these facilities before they open.

Holy moly: Seattle’s millionaire tax, passed last year, is expected to bring in $115 million in its 1st year, way more than the $50 million anticipated.
The funds will go to the city’s new social housing developer publicola.com/2026/02/11/t...
(Is NY Gov Hochul paying attention?)
