ICE raids are not the first time this was made explicit. I think people downplay how much Jim Crow was not just about controlling Black people but it was also about controlling white people. If you thought racism was dumb and acted that way you could end up with a bomb in your home
Just keep coming back to the fact that keeping people in a constant state of terror is a form of mass disablement and essential to the eugenic project that is the United States.

I am so proud of warrior Drew Dixon. L.A. Reid settled the sexual assault lawsuit she filed against him before the case officially went to trial. She deserved and still deserves so much more. All the women pushed out of the music industry and other creative industries do.

I believe one time this man posted pics of his cats drinking out of water bowls. Ppl were like “why dont all the cats have a water stand!?!” as if he maliciously makes one of the cats bend down to drink water.
You’d think posting cat pics would be low risk for weird online behavior

Anti-abortion activists in the US have created a new chatbot to dissuade people from abortion using misinformation and deception - the two main strategies of "crisis pregnancy centres." This is basically a digital CPC designed to reach many more people.

I had to pull out multiple IDs when I was trying to board my flight out of Istanbul. Mind you I had already made it thru 4 security check points W/o issue.
When he picked up that walkie talkie like he was abt to call mgmt I offered up the other ID.
That’s never happened to me before or since.

I was aggressively screened at the airport this morning because — are you ready for this?? — the agent didn’t believe that I am the woman in my ID photo.
It was wild.

Since February, according to my latest analysis, almost 600,000 Black women have been economically sidelined. The November 20, 2025, Jobs Report makes clear this isn’t a blip. It’s a structural crisis. That is not a recovery. It is a redistribution of opportunity.
