Friends, Claudette Colvin—the 15-year-old who refused to give up her seat on a Montgomery bus in March 1955 & joined the federal case against bus segregation that went to the Supreme Court — died today at age 86. But there are lots of myths and mis-impressions about her. A short corrective thread:

The article says immigration agents took this kid's phone.

And then the phone showed up for sale at a vending machine near an ICE facility?

Did ICE agents STEAL and SELL this kid's PHONE?

This obviously isn't the worst of what's described in the article. But it tells you something.

seems like a bit of an own goal for the administration to push out the person who was running the (legitimate) fraud investigation used (illegitimately) as justification for the mn crackdown

Breaking NYT:

The Pentagon used a secret aircraft painted to look like a civilian plane in its first boat attack, according to officials briefed on the matter.

The laws of armed conflict forbid combatants from feigning civilian status.

That is a war crime called "perfidy."

Also a great way to money launder.
Eric Adams, former NYC mayor, launched a memecoin (cryptocurrency) today. He marketed it as an “NYC Token” and used media appearances and his social media to promote it.

Within hours, Adams then drained its liquidity, apparently having scammed investors out of $3.4 million—a move called a rug pull.

Career DOJ civil rights leaders just walked out rather than rubber-stamp silence over a fatal ICE shooting. When the people tasked with enforcing the law quit...pay attention. The system...is being rewired.

Accountability can happen NOW. The people are providing you video evidence from the scene across the nation.

Take a honest look at social media at the videos people from Minnesota are sacrificing their safety, and Renee Nicole's life, to provide.

Fascism is here.
ICE just indiscriminately stopped a citizen at a bus stop in front of the co-op. If this is how they treat the President of the Minneapolis City Council who is legally observing, just think of what they’re doing to everyone else in our City.

They use Nazi slogans and deploy Nazi terror tactics…but don’t call them Nazis, otherwise you’ll get a heap of Nazi gaslighting about being responsible for them being Nazis.
