Farm aid has to recognize that Black farmers have had their land stolen by every kind of illegal act the USDA and banks can imagine. If interested, there's a Part 2 of "The Land of Our Fathers." Very, very good reporting.

Idk how others feel, but Dems refusing to grapple with the persistence of structural racism and instead talk about other anything else has kinda enraged me. This--Trump, Bondi, Abbott--are just the logical outcomes to a country where the "liberals" almost refuse to engage in ?s about race.
I am just going to keep posting that the TX governor recently pardoned a political murderer.
The dude texted "I'm going to shoot protestors", then went and shot a Black Lives Matter protester. He was convicted in a jury trial.
Hard to find a more blatant example of celebrating political violence.

Gov. Greg Abbott pardons Daniel Perry, veteran who killed police brutality protester in 2020
A Travis County jury sentenced Perry to 25 years in prison last year, prompting Abbott to ask the state parole board to review his case.

One thing I don't see mentioned much:
Jeffrey Epstein's alleged sex-trafficking partner, Jean-Luc Brunel, was found dead in HIS prison cell in 2022 in France. Both men hanged themselves in their cells; both were supposed to be on suicide watch but somehow managed to get the job done.

Trump's top choice for NYC mayor is the same as Congressman James Clyburn's. Here's what the former civil rights leader said about Trump's #1 guy:
"Andrew Cuomo has the experience, credentials, and character to not just serve New York, but also help save the nation."
Dem leadership in action.

Civil War. Red states sending troops to occupy blue states. This was always Heritage Foundation's intention: nothing less than full capitulation to racial capitalism and the Lost Cause ideology.
Trump's threat to put troops in Baltimore underlines the extent to which he's using military/paramilitary occupations to demonstrate force to elected opposition figures who talk back like Pritzker and Moore. (Note also his threat to claw back congressionally voted funds for the Key Bridge rebuild.)
Trump threatens to revoke Key Bridge funds, send troops to Baltimore
