My colleagues & I have taken a huge gamble to set up @thenerve.news We’re trying to build a new independent publication from the ground up. Social media is our only distribution for now.

Sharing this article in your networks would make a huge difference. Thank you! 🙏🙏🙏

CBP agents knocked on an El Paso home at 7:15 a.m.

The owner asked to secure his Rottweiler, Chop, in the bathroom.

While he got his ID, agents opened the door and shot Chop.

The family tried to save him as he bled out on the kitchen floor.

When billionaires and fascist politicians like Trump think their lives are more important than 300 million Americans, when they choose to make the rich even richer at the price of denying affordable health care to millions of Americans, we have reached a red line wider than the Grand Canyon. Resist.

Peaceful assembly isn’t an insurrection.

Storming the Capitol to hang your own vice-president and end democracy is.

Robert Gould Shaw was born on this day in 1837 in Dartmouth, Mass. Shaw commanded the 54th Massachusetts Regiment, one of the North’s first Black regiments. He died leading his troops in an ill-fated assault on Fort Wagner and was buried in a mass grave with the black soldiers. /1
