A Black Man who’s exhausted all his small savings after losing his job is asking for help. While currently looking for work he needs help with past due bills and making rent. If we each give $1 he’ll reach his goal. We’ve helped 159 people so far, let’s keep going.

The Congressional Black Caucus’s silent partnership with AIPAC

www.thenation.com/article/soci...

Yet to this day, the Congressional Black Caucus—the long-standing corps of lawmakers dedicated to safeguarding civil rights (and known as “the conscience of Congress”)—has not issued a formal declaration condemning Israel; it hasn’t even produced a statement calling for a ceasefire. The CBC’s silence isn’t accidental: More than half of its current 61 members have been endorsed or funded by the American Israel Public Affairs Committee, the powerful US lobbying arm for Israel’s agenda. In the 2023–24 election cycle alone, AIPAC endorsed 26 of the caucus’s members, raising $4.6 million for them and another $3.5 million for Black Democratic candidates.

I've recently been reminded that at least some of the immigrants that Abbot sent the Texas national guard to kidnap, are the same immigrants Abbott flew to Chicago in the dead of winter in flip flops and a t shirt to overwhelm the city. Instead Chicago residents clothed, fed and resettled them

Don Moynihan @donmoyn.bsky.social · 1d

Trump is upfront in saying he will use the shutdown to punish Democrats, and here are the receipts. About $27.2 billion cut from Dem districts compared to about $0.7 billion in GOP districts.
We all complain about the media, but need this type of in-depth journalism.

“Black users on Bluesky are already working to build a community on the site. One user, Rudy Fraser, launched Blacksky, a collection of curated, Black-centered feeds that filter out racism and misogyny to provide a safe, inclusive experience for users.”

Black Twitter helped define the internet — so where will the exodus from X lead?

Some X users say they’re hoping to create a new “Black Twitter” on other social media platforms.

“Footage, obtained by the outlet, captured the musician face-down in the mud, with her instrument about two feet to her left, struggling as what appears to be a federal agent straddled her backside. A police officer stood next to the pair.”
The Feds then jailed her across state lines. For music.
