Y’all @tiffanycross @angelarye.bsky.social @bakarisellers.bsky.social are kinda quiet about the disinformation @cthagod spreads. He’s your business partner. Good for @rolandsmartin.bsky.social calling him out on his lies. We wish y’all would do the same.

These motherfuckers are so racist and so don't care.

BREAKING: By an apparent 6–3 vote, the Supreme Court halts an injunction that had prevented immigration agents from racially profiling Latinos in central California.

Sotomayor, dissenting, says the decision is "unconscionably irreconcilable with our nation's constitutional guarantees."

The Corporation for Public Broadcasting is shutting down operations after loss of federal funding:
The Corporation for Public Broadcasting (CPB) announced today that it will begin an orderly wind-down of its operations following the passage of a federal rescissions package and the release of the Senate Appropriations Committee’s FY 2026 Labor, Health and Human Services, Education, and Related Agencies (Labor-H) appropriations bill, which excludes funding for CPB for the first time in more than five decades. For nearly 60 years, CPB has carried out its Congressional mission to build and sustain a trusted public media system that informs, educates, and serves communities across the country. Through partnerships with local stations and producers, CPB has supported educational content, locally relevant journalism, emergency communications, cultural programming, and essential services for Americans in every community. “Despite the extraordinary efforts of millions of Americans who called, wrote, and petitioned Congress to preserve federal funding for CPB, we now face the difficult reality of closing our operations,” said CPB President and CEO Patricia Harrison. “CPB remains committed to fulfilling its fiduciary responsibilities and supporting our partners through this transition with transparency and care.”

I watched this in it’s entirety. Mehdi dismantled their arguments so easily that they either agreed with his points, started lying, admitted to being racist , admitted to being facist, admitted to being nazis or got angry and told him to leave the United States. It was an intellectual mismatch.

I debated 20 far-far-far-right conservatives (racists? fascists?) on Jubilee's 'Surrounded.'

Here are some of the highlights of them unable to answer my basic questions or rebut the simplest of points. Not sure whether to laugh or cry.

Metadata Shows the FBI’s ‘Raw’ Jeffrey Epstein Prison Video Was Likely Modified
There is no evidence the footage was deceptively manipulated, but ambiguities around how the video was processed may further fuel conspiracy theories about Epstein's death.

A powerful message to opposition leaders, dissidents, cooperators, operatives and allies in Iran, Russia, and around the globe. After you are done risking your life to help us, we will sell you out and screw you over. Because the current govt will use you and discard you.

Israel has allowed IAEA inspectors into its country. Israel doesn't."

But Israel is the victim? My video for Zeteo on how the media's coverage of this crisis is abysmal & ridiculously biased.

The Education Department’s civil rights office once helped push a South Dakota school district to treat its Native students equally.

Under Trump, that same office decided that helping Indigenous students would discriminate against white students: propub.li/3GIdTRr
Article excerpt: ...an investigation found that the district’s Native American students were disciplined far more harshly than white ones. They also were kept from enrolling in advanced courses. The OCR said that when speaking with an investigator, the superintendent of schools at the time said that Native American students in her district had higher truancy rates because they operated on what she termed “Indian Time.” She said, too, that they don’t value education, according to the investigation’s findings. The former superintendent, Nicole Swigart, denied saying any of that. “I recognize those comments are horrendous,” Swigart said in an interview with ProPublica. She noted that the OCR investigation was opened in 2010 and that she first spoke to an investigator in 2022. “I’m not lying when I say I didn’t say it. I didn’t say it, and I don’t know where it came from.” Article excerpt: In the agreement with the OCR, the district promised to examine its practices and make things right; the OCR would monitor its progress. The district also brought in a new superintendent. But last month, the OCR abruptly terminated that agreement, based on its differing interpretation of civil rights law. The OCR’s new view is that equity and diversity efforts discriminate against white students. It was, in the view of agency attorneys, the most severe breach of the OCR’s mission and methods to date. There was no public announcement. “Native students in Rapid City just lost a layer of protection,” the Lakota People’s Law Project announced on Facebook. “Native students are still being pushed out of classrooms and denied opportunities.” Darren Thompson, who is Ojibwe, said the OCR’s decision to abandon the agreement was “another cycle of the federal government failing to uphold its promises.”
