This proves five things:
1. The protests in LA were peaceful
2. The National Guard and Marines were unnecessary
3. ICE officers lie
4. DHS stats on ICE agent assaults are overblown
5. You can not, in fact, indict a ham sandwich if you have no case

Trump tore up the Iran deal during his first term b/c the nation’s first Black president brokered it.
In 2024, white America reelected an even more openly racist Trump and Christian White Nationalist gov’t overhaul b/c they didn’t want a Black Woman president.
Today, Trump started a war with Iran.
Much as I would not dare to predict the consequences of this war, I do think we can summarize it thusly so far:
A smart and evil man manipulated a stupid and evil man into a war against a fanatical and evil regime.
Transitive property of equality:
White America has started a U.S. war with Iran
(per Israeli PM Netanyahu’s instruction).
So proud to be a part of this amazing morning. Location ocean beach San Francisco

In these dark times, it’s great to come together and find something we can all take joy in.
In these cases, we are essentially being asked to ameliorate your guilt whilst simultaneously refrain from offering context on Rowling's transphobia because it only kindles said guilt.

Matt Walsh tweet: Bizarre decision by the NFL to have some guy come out and lethargically mumble a bunch of songs that 90 percent of the NFL audience has never heard
they can take over the entire country but they can never actually be cool and it will eat at them forever
I think an American flag created entirely by black men at the Superbowl is one of the best pieces of art I've seen in my lifetime. I hope it actually killed some folks. And I hope it finally closes the fucking book on the argument that we shouldn't use the flag to fight the God damned fascists.
Nikes first Superbowl commercial in 27 years. What a way to pop back out 🔥
Fabulous 🇺🇸💥
Costco - the only company to publicly come out in support of Diversity initiatives despite pressure from the GOP and they just raised the pay for their workers. Stop shopping at Target.

Happy Dr. Martin Luther King Jr Day
Happy MLK Day.
"I have almost reached the regrettable conclusion that the Negro's great stumbling block in his stride toward freedom is not the White Citizen's Counciler or the Ku Klux Klanner, but the white moderate, who is more devoted to 'order' than to justice" -- MLK, 4/16/63, Letter from Birmingham Jail
In re-electing a known racist, misogynist in Donald Trump, white America has wholly failed Dr. Martin Luther King Jr.’s dream.
Any white person who can’t see this is not just complicit, but is also actively harming the cause of dismantling racism in America.
I simply cannot put this more plainly.🇺🇸
Tributes are pouring in for Nikki Giovanni, a world-renowned poet and key figure of the Black Arts Movement
Cancel ALL Black debt—student loans, credit cards, mortgages, car notes, all of it.
Any honest person who recognizes [accurate] U.S. history, knows monetary Reparations are owed
and even cancellation of all Black debt would come nowhere close to compensating Black people what we are actually owed.
A must-read: Patrick Chandler Brown — named after the PCB chemicals dumped in his community — purchased the plantation where his great-grandfather was enslaved and is in the process of transforming it to serve farmers like him
