This “Board of Peace” thing is shady as hell.

Trump wants countries to cough up $1 billion for a permanent seat at the table. He also wants to personally oversee billions tied to Gaza reconstruction. That alone should end the conversation.

Back then, wannabe dictators either declared dictatorship or staged a coup. Today wannabe dictators use “electoral autocracy” — they come to power via elections but then hollow out the electoral system through voter suppression, banning rivals from running for office, intimidation, & other tactics.

Today, as we see ICE fascists target brown and Black people, beat, arrest, and kill them, deny due process of law, & we see centrist politicians respond with calls for "more training" (instead of the right answer to abolish ICE) — we remember when Dr. King, warned us about the "white moderate."

Russia is winning the Cold War. They are not winning by outproducing us, by out-innovating us or by defeating us militarily. They are winning by hollowing us out — politically, institutionally, and morally — until we did the work for them.

There are times when you need to tell your friends that they are committing a grave mistake, even if they resent you for telling the truth.

Need more proof that CBS News is being transformed into a mouthpiece for Trump? Look no further than its latest “story” about Renee Good's shooter.

Readers are furious the news org boosted the White House's claims without appearing to have done any further reporting. trib.al/mD2im8A

Martin Luther King, Jr. dedicated his life to advocating tirelessly for the justice and equality of Black Americans and resisting elected leaders’ deliberate abuse and neglect of our communities. He was relentlessly targeted by our government for his views and pursuit of equality.

1/ With this policy, the administration has effectively created a federalized immigration enforcement force embedded within local policing nationwide—one that mirrors key structural features of a secret police system.

The DOJ has decided not to pursue a criminal civil rights investigation into the fatal shooting of Renee Good. Instead, the department has shifted its investigative focus toward Minnesota officials, including Gov. Tim Walz and Minneapolis Mayor Jacob Frey. Living in the upside down.
