Signs about the history of slavery in the U.S. and the 9 people George Washington enslaved are being removed right now at the President’s House Site in Philadelphia, across from Independence Hall, months after the Trump administration threatend to do so.

National media should really be covering the fact thay every major school, museum, and arts institution in the Twin Cities, and hundreds of local businesses are closed tomorrow to protest federal occupation.

Nothing like this at this scale has happened anywhere in America anytime in living memory.

Trump’s Board of Peace logo is basically the UN logo, except dipped in gold and edited so the world only includes America.

Just saw it noted that 100% of the world’s Ozempic supply comes from Denmark, as does a somewhat smaller percentage of the world’s insulin. Almost as if it’s really quite a small world!

IMAGINE America getting over whiteness, & applying the liberatory strategies Black people have been using to survive this country & advance it towards equity as part of its efforts to fight fascism. By listening to Black people as leaders & including them! Nah couldn't be.

The main bank account holding revenue from the Venezuelan oil sales is located in Qatar.

If there's one empirical insight I'd want everyone to understand about American politics, it's this:

America's problems are solved problems. Just not here.

What would change if the US simply matched the average of 31 peer democracies? Not Denmark or Norway. Just the middle of the pack. 🧵

A Black man was killed by ICE (off duty) in Los Angeles on New Year’s Eve. And like Renée Good, he was an American citizen. But most people have not heard about Keith Porter.

I need y’all to realize this. Black people experience this lack of visibility all the time when it comes to being victims.

Does it not seem like he did a pretty expert job at moving the phone to make it seem like he got hit? I mean without the other 4+ views floating around this would seemingly vindicate the fake story the authorities are pushing. That is some darkly nefarious stuff if true.

One century of presidents. About $40M total gained while serving.
One president. One year. ~$3B.
Same office. Same rules.

“Trump’s White House now insists that American courts are the proper forum to hold a Venezuelan president to account, but holds that US courts cannot prosecute a US president. The world is now subject to the whims of Donald. The law, it seems, is what he says it is.”
