ALERT: ICE reportedly snatched a junior on his way to school in Chicago, a teacher says:

“His main priority was getting his reading done for English class.”

Students are being taken from school by ICE — and the classroom is now part of the front lines.

Cory Booker just spoke for 25 hours straight about defending democracy. Here's why we’re not clapping.

— In 2019, he backed anti-BDS legislation
— In 2019, he told AIPAC: “If I forget thee, O Israel…”
— In 2021, he pushed normalization with Arab states—at Palestinians' expense

Congrats on voting for Trump to save on eggs. Now you’ve got $13 eggs, a fired wife, and kids who can’t even get a loan for their future. Worth it?

Im not afraid of him and I’m not stupid enough to believe his propaganda and I’m not inhuman enough to look at my fellow man (or woman) with hate and greed and anger.

So this administration has no use for me.

Any relationship that requires you to be a quiet or a more watered down version of yourself for it to “work out” is not the relationship for you.

This is a lovely discussion of fat representation in youth books; it’s nice to see the topic still getting attention as the backlash increases.

I don’t HAVE to understand racism. I don’t HAVE to understand sexism. I don’t HAVE to see your POV. Ive gone to school. I have the degrees. Ive read the books. I STILL read the books. Im well versed on theory.

And it’s BULLSHIT.

My degrees give me the AUTHORITY to call you a dumb bitch.

Just the AUDACITY for white people, post election, to think yall have ANY authority to be pulling people’s cards talking about “who did you vote for?” to POC and Black people. ESPECIALLY BLACK PEOPLE.

Everyone that is not a cishet white man enjoys the rights they have in this country b/c of US

The moment white liberals got their rights in the labor movement, they abandoned Black people for dead. White middle class liberal housewives co-opted the EVERY wave of feminism & abandoned EVERYBODY ELSE when they got theirs (voting rights, VAWA, etc.)

Baldwin understood how brutally evil the z/onist project was, and that it actually had nothing to do with Judaism. May all empires fall 🔥
