the arrest of journalists in minneapolis, including don lemon, is more evidence that the only move the administration knows how to make is to use force, and does not know how to respond when that force is met with defiance and indifference.

I wrote this song on Saturday, recorded it yesterday and released it to you today in response to the state terror being visited on the city of Minneapolis. It’s dedicated to the people of Minneapolis, our innocent immigrant neighbors and in memory of Alex Pretti and Renee Good.

Alex Pretti, Renee Good, and Keith Porter Jr. were murdered. Marimar Martinez was shot. Mahmoud Khalil was arrested and jailed.
The next could be you.
What’s at stake isn’t just our democracy. It’s also your safety and security and that of your loved ones.
This is personal — to every one of us.

The most *generous* scenario here is that you can't control your caucus, in which case you are ineffective as minority leader and need to step down.
Democrats have been fighting for months to address America's healthcare crisis
For the millions who will lose coverage
For people with cancer who won't get the care they need
For working families who can't afford to pay $25K more a year for healthcare
We will keep fighting

Incase you didn't already have enough reasons to stop shopping with Home Depot.
For folks asking if they've made it *inside* a Home Depot yet as the business has clearly just continued letting agents do whatever they want in their lots, the answer is yes. This is from yesterday in Evanston.

Y'all... please stop sharing pictures and videos of people with their full, uncovered faces at protests. Like that's the type of shit that actually puts people in danger. People have legitimately been kidnapped and killed for being at anti-fascist protests. Stop doing this.

Today I turned in my master’s thesis, on a topic that I am deeply passionate about. (Vague because hopefully going to publish it eventually)
I poured my heart and soul into this paper over the past few months, despite chaos in my life. I’m exhausted but god damn it I am actually proud of myself

If you call yourself an ally, you have a responsibility to educate yourself on the history of racism/white supremacy and how it harms PoC today, and to actively oppose it wherever you find it, including within yourself. And if you're a white person, it's DEFINITELY within yourself. 2/3

It’s how we get lists of who’s good or bad going around. It fuels the whisper networks that torch people careers on nothing more than rumors, revenge & lies.

I have my own story about what Saige did to me, but right now, this is about Surena and Omar.
Saying someone got arrested when they didn't is absolutely diabolical. Especially since people tend to believe the worst of PoC without a second thought.

The amount of punishment a person of colour can get for simply having a dissenting opinion is far beyond what people know.
We don’t have to harm people to “face consequences”, all we have to do is slightly discomfort them.
And it’s almost worse in the creatives, because “talent” is hard to metric.

“If all this was happening why didn’t anybody say anything all this time”
Because it’s made clear to us that our invitation is conditional. And the second you are disagree, push back in any way or are “difficult” your invitation is rescinded.
You can apply the above to a myriad of situations.
