LeMonde said, not on our watch

I will never forget having to edit Jamalβs final, posthumous piece for the Washington Post, after he was murdered.
He was calling for free expression in the Arab world. You can read it here :

You probably saw videos of a nighttime raid in Chicago. Agents rappelling from a helicopter, bursting down doors, questioning brown-skinned immigrants.
We investigated -- and found little evidence to support the governmentβs claims about Tren de Aragua.

The neighborhoods won by Sliwa sound like Stardew Valley locations.
The West has Fallen. The Mayor of New York City is an Arsenal fan.
After we uncovered a pattern of altered data, CCRB officials confirmed the police watchdog is deliberately miscategorizing some NYPD misconduct allegations in public data to protect officers' reputations, at the request of unnamed "stakeholders."
it's crazy they trying to run the 80s black welfare mother narrative on snap benefits rn with a constituency in need that has already run up on a government building once
Hi, Iβm Alex goldman. I used to host a podcast called Reply All that some people liked. For the past year I have been making a show called @hyperfixedpod.bsky.social. We now have 25 episodes (50 if you count premium episodes). You might enjoy it! Listen if you liked reply all
White words on a black background read: 50+ Immigration agents have the authority to detain whom they reasonably suspect are in the country illegally. We found more than 50 Americans who were held after agents questioned their citizenship. They were almost all Latino. ~130 Agents also can arrest citizens who allegedly interfered with or assaulted officers. We compiled cases of about 130 Americans, including a dozen elected officials, accused of assaulting or impeding officers. ~20 Among the citizens detained are nearly 20 children, including two with cancer.
Hi, I'm the ProPublica reporter who's been tracking an unusual stat: U.S. citizens grabbed by immigration agents.
I did it because the government isnβt.
This is what I found.
I have a small thing on the show this week about me and my dad. Have a listen!
But too many of the slaves died in captivity. And so Columbus, desperate to pay back dividends to those who had in-vested, had to make good his promise to fill the ships with gold. In the province of Cicao on Haiti, where he and his men imagined huge gold fields to exist, they ordered all persons fourteen years or older to collect a certain quantity of gold every three months. When they brought it, they were given copper tokens to hang around their necks. Indians found without a copper token had their hands cut off and bled to death. The Indians had been given an impossible task. The only gold around was bits of dust garnered from the streams. So they fled, were hunted down with dogs, and were killed.
After each six or eight months' work in the mines, which was the time required of each crew to dig enough gold for melting, up to a third of the men died. While the men were sent many miles away to the mines, the wives remained to work the soil, forced into the excruciating job of digging and making thousands of hills for cassava plants. Thus husbands and wives were together only once every eight or ten months and when they met they were so exhausted and depressed on both sides... they ceased to pro-create. As for the newly born, they died early because their mothers, overworked and fam-ished, had no milk to nurse them, and for this reason, while I was in Cuba, 7000 children died in three months. Some mothers even drowned their babies from sheer desper-ation.... In this way, husbands died in the mines, wives died at work, and children died from lack of milk ... and in a short time this land which was so great, so powerful and fer-tile... was depopulated... My eyes have seen these acts so foreign to human nature, and now I tremble as I write....
Please remember that the disgust people have over Christopher Columbus is not based on some modern, 21st century βwokeβ ideology, but rather on contemporaneous accounts of atrocities that make many modern genocides appear quaint in comparison.
Below, are the accounts of BartlomΓ© de las Casas.
Why doesnβt anybody in the movies driving a getaway car ever just drive a black Toyota Corolla? Theyβd never find you!
Assata Shakur has "died in Havana, Cuba, as a result of health conditions and her advanced age."
She was 78.
not these commentators trying to make out like Partey is being booed rn because he's a former arsenal player. www.bbc.com/sport/footba...
very funny that some of the same people who spent years calling anyone sympathetic to BLM a βracial essentialistβ are now up in arms that a ugandan-born south asian man would describe himself as african and asian because, of course, you can only choose one
Awww. Thank you so much for listening! I think we could all use a bit of cry.
Iβm guest hosting the show this week! π
Here's a longer video of Brad Lander's detention just now inside 26 Federal Plaza as he tried to walk a man out of immigration court, by masked federal agents.
W.E.B. Du Bois on Robert E. Lee:
βEither he knew what slavery meant when he helped maim and murder thousands in its defense, or he did not. If he did not he was a fool. If he did, Robert Lee was a traitor and a rebelβnot indeed to his country, but to humanity and humanityβs God.β
At this point Arsenal can simply do nothing, let the contract expire & live with this stain on the clubβs history. Or they can make it much much worse.

Have a small thing on the radio this week, and a rather large piece of concrete on my desk.
βOne young man sobbed when a guard pushed him to the floor. He said, βIβm not a gang member. Iβm gay. Iβm a barber.β I believed him. *** He βbegan to whimper,β as his head was roughly shaved, βfolding his hands in prayer as his hair fell.β He βasked for his mother & cried as he was slapped again.β
