Well, would you look at this? Super Majority of SNAP recipients are White, “native born” & majority have a HS or GED education. Sounds a lot like the majority of white Trump voters. WHO KNEW???

Here's a photo of my friend and colleague, Jorge Bautista, getting shot in the face with a flashbang grenade. The ICE Agent is so afraid of Jorge (who was posing no threat) that he has wet himself. Please share this photo. Everyone needs to know what cowards ICE agents are.

Today in history, 1921: President Warren Harding condemns lynching in a speech in Birmingham, Ala., the first sitting president to publicly denounce it. His stance was controversial, causing his political opponents to question his ethnicity and cast him in a negative light. /1

Look at the facts: the president leads through fear. He is trying to normalize the use of the military in our cities. He is attacking the core of our democratic institutions: free speech and elections. And all the while, he is taking away healthcare and adding regressive taxes, tariffs.

“This city was built by the Irish escaping famine, Italians fleeing fascism, Black Americans fleeing slavery and Jim Crow, Latinos seeking a better life, Native people standing for themselves, Asian Americans coming together…”

The 37 ballroom donors won’t be remembered for generosity, but for funding a monument to authoritarian vanity during a shutdown, at a venue nicknamed after a sex trafficker, while Americans wonder how they’ll eat. History keeps receipts & their names aren’t coming off those walls

“Let us dream of and build a more humble Church that does not stand upright like the Pharisee, triumphant and inflated with pride, but bends down to wash the feet of humanity; a Church that does not judge as the Pharisee does the tax collector, but becomes a welcoming place for all.” — Pope Leo XIV

In Magna Carta Address, Pope Leo Calls for a Church That Washes Feet, Not Wields Power

“Let us dream of a Church that heals, not judges,” Pope Leo pleads in a sweeping homily that laid out the blueprint for his papacy.

I don't understand how anyone can make the case that we still have constitutional government at this point. The president is collecting revenue *AND* spending money without Congressional authorization, refusing to spend money that Congress appropriated, disobeying whatever laws he feels like.

Woman shot by ICE agents in Chicago last Saturday has been released from custody today by judge since body cam footage contradicted the government's claim she drove toward the agents. Instead, it revealed the agent saying, "Do something, bitch," before pulling over and shooting her five times.

NEVER FORGET: The GOP senator who has ‘deep concerns’ over Trump's plan to import Argentine beef, Senator Deb Fischer has a husband who has a DIFFERENT kind of BEEF. In January, moments after VP Kamala Harris swore in the Senator, her husband, Bruce Fischer blatantly REFUSED to shake the VP's hand.🤬

Wrote an essay a couple of years back about how things were shaping up in such a way that Black people would be barred by law and policy from discussing our own oppression in educational and other venues. Ran into weird roadblocks trying to get it published and moved on to something else.
