Rev. Jesse Jackson's "I *am* somebody..." remains one of the all-time great pieces of 20th century rhetoric / agitprop
And he could deliver it at a Black separatist meeting, the Democratic National Convention, or on god-blessed Sesame Street (see below 🥹)

MAGA was clearly like “Wait, they’re immigrants? AND they’re black? This is the jackpot, the most exploitable minority in America” and now Somalis are abruptly more directly targeted for persecution by the US government than any ethnic group in almost a century

Yesterday my partner and I counted all the ads along Chicago's Brown Line for "Friend," a company selling an AI chatbot pendant, and tallied how many of those ads were defaced.
Still working on a longer piece on this, but here's the quick and dirty: we counted 104 "Friend" ads total, 42 defaced.

Jake Lang, a pardoned Jan. 6 rioter who openly calls himself a racist, came to Dearborn with a small crew of followers and a camera. His goal wasn’t dialogue or protest. It was provocation, panic, and propaganda.
How racist provocateur Jake Lang tried to manufacture chaos in Dearborn - Detroit Metro Times
Right-wing provocateur and avowed racist Jake Lang arrived in Dearborn on Tuesday with a bulletproof vest, a Quran he threatened to burn, and a bag of bacon he shoved into people’s faces.

No one gave a shit if a gay man was lonely navigating a homophobic society. No one gave a shit if a woman was lonely in an abusive marriage. No one ever gave a shit if the Black kid in a white school was lonely.
But we all need to care about straight white men being lonely.
Miss me with this bs.

Little did 1st grade me, seeing the cover of Speak of the Devil, know that he was just a lovable hook slinging Beatlemaniac. Yet another occurrence of the sound in my head being way more extreme than the actual article and the actual article being so much greater than I could ever imagine. RIP Ozzy

This is Laura Loomer's flip way of advocating for a purge of Latinos, all of them and it is very fucked up. She is a de facto Trump advisor/internet troll/proud white nationalist in case you don't know who she is. I'm not on X, anyone know if people are pushing back there and how she's reacting?
The entire Latino population in the U.S. is 65 million. She means all of us.

Not taking anything away from Senator Padilla because he was treated atrociously
But I JUST want to remind everyone that the Congresswoman LaMonica McIver, a Black woman, was just indicted for just asking questions at an ICE detention center in her state
Keep that same energy of support for her

The security says he was forced out of the room and cuffed for "lunging" at Noem. Notice how little she reacts to him "lunging" at her. Right around the 14 second mark.
