I work with refugees. Historian. I believe in humanitarian action, in helping others, in making society better for the most marginalized.

Police brutality Unequal education Maternal mortality Child welfare involvement These are all systems in which, and are not an exhaustive list, of the ways in which systemic racism is *quantifiable*. This is what we want with BLM. This is what needs changing. Not murals painted

Black women are 243% more likely to die from pregnancy or childbirth-related complications than white women — this father brought his heartbreaking story to Congress to change that

I don't know who needs to hear this - but Queen Elizabeth and Prince Philip lived in separate palaces for the last 20+ years of their lives and Philip's alleged longtime mistress was one of the 30 guests at his funeral. Oh and his will is sealed for like 200 years.

One uncomfortable observation is that the Iranian official representatives speak more coherently, truthfully & sensibly than Trump & Hegseth. This is by no means a support of the Iranian autocratic theocracy, but an observation of the immense fall of the US under Trump.

Russia is sending Oil to Cuba. China is donating solar panels to Cuba. China is delivering aid to the countries (Iran and Lebanon) the US & Israel are bombing. They conditioned you to hate the countries who believe in a multipolar world because a multipolar world undermines the US’s ability to control and exploit the world.

Hasan has been an incredibly consistent Jewish ally. He constantly espouses the understanding that to be Jewish does not immediately make someone aligned with the Israeli government. Reading this quote is incredibly painful. The authors here don't care about Jews.
Jim Kessler@ThirdWayKessler

"We’re all for a big tent. But the Democratic Party needs to draw a line in the sand. Hasan Piker and his fellow Jew-haters belong on the other side." Jon Cowan and @lilyycohenn write in @WSJopinion. tinyurl.com/bd47vj8v @ThirdWayTweet

A Ghanaian man in his late 20s detained by ICE in NJ was transferred 10 times over 196 days, traveling 7,700+ mi. “The point is to not make it easy for them, so they give up.” More: inquirer.com/news/ice-deten…

@marxistJorge Whether or not they "wanted to die for israel" or not, thats fucking dangerous and puts others in the region in danger. If this fire caused us to retreat, that means they cost us lives and time to take action for selfish reasons.

"US Navy is investigating whether sailors aboard the USS Gerald R. Ford deliberately started the fire that tore through the aircraft carrier's main laundry spaces on 12 March" - one motive for sabotage would be to put an end to the ship's prolonged deployment.

The Fourth Amendment prohibits the government from spying on Americans without a warrant. When the government pays someone to do this spying on behalf of the government, then that’s no less a violation of the Fourth Amendment.
Rep. Warren Davidson@Rep_Davidson

The FBI just acknowledged that the federal government buys Americans' location data in its testimony to the Senate Select Subcommittee on Intelligence. This is a clear violation of the Fourth Amendment and is why I introduced the Government Surveillance Reform Act - to close the data broker loophole that allows intelligence agencies to buy Americans' private data.

A complete self-own. And entirely foreseeable. The damage done might be reperable, but not easily or quickly. It'll take very large and clear steps in the US, including some substantial constitutional and legal reforms to limit the power of a crazy President.
Jostein Hauge@haugejostein

This is wild. People in *every single one* of the top US allies now think it's better to depend on China than the US. The global balance of power is clearly tilting away from the US and toward China.

Apparently there are people who wake up before their alarm… and just get up. Just one alarm. No snooze. No struggle. Explain yourselves. How do you do that?

@toddAZops @KyleClark @psaundersdp Apologies. I forgot the Pueblo peoples in the far Southwest. They need to be given back their lands, too. The *actual* roots. Or did you not consider the people who were here first as the actual roots because you didn't consider that non-white people inhabited the land?

The Trump administration has approved the acquisition of 9NEWS' parent company, TEGNA, by Fox31's parent company, Nexstar. Nexstar issued a statement praising President Trump, who says the deal will "help knock out the Fake News." Nexstar has declared itself "the anti-fake news"
