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

A supposedly Black woman who doesn't capitalize "Black" in reference to Black Americans? I know who you are

None of the historical agendas can compare this DSA agenda MOST SPECIFICALLY excluding black leadership. What communities are they serving? Seems like the literacy crisis has affected you and you’re lashing out on others. Seek help and a ixl learning registration immediately.

I cannot express how viscerally I hate that @SamsungMobileUS forced us to Google messages. I will never again in my life purchase another Samsung phone

Wil Wheaton to Stephen Miller after his Patrick Stewart tribute: “Keep my Captain’s name out of your f**king Nazi mouth. He despised you, and everything you stand for.”

Sheriff’s deputies in Texas pressed the thumb of a man who was brain dead on a release form. He was declared dead the next day. The sheriff’s office said no investigation was needed since he was no longer in custody. boltsmag.org/tarrant-county-…

Oh, so you just don't live in reality. Got it
Jason is vaporizing Haley’s future so that he can be a main character in this moment and it is sad to watch her participate in that. He was an extraordinarily toxic presence, was verbally abusive to staff and had some of the worst political instincts I’ve ever witnessed.

New Haley Stevens statement: “I was glad to see our senate nominee say he does not agree with the content of the vile Rebellion PAC ad which claimed Israel and Jews were to blame for the high costs of groceries.”

Name a more iconic Southern tradition than making Black voters have to wait in hours-long lines to vote while white precincts have no wait times.
This is the line outside the Hinds County courthouse an hour and a half before last minute absentee voting ends.

"We will rebuild Sobibor for you!" Three years ago, this guy, Yehonatan Dahaman, used to attack us every weekend when we protested with Palestinian flags. The police allowed him to continue. Now, he's threatening anti-Netanyahu protesters that he'll send them to Nazi Germany's death camps.

"A Cuban man attempt to take a piece of bread from the cafeteria back to his cell to later eat it “alongside his coffee”. The guards would not allow it, so he quickly ate it in defiance. According to the written account, the confrontation escalated, with guards beating him."
🚨NEW🚨We obtained nearly 200 pages of handwritten testimonies from men in ICE detention in Texas, denouncing allegations of abuse and conditions inside. They include details of an aggressive ICE arrest, the beating of a man by private guards, substandard conditions, and labor “exploitation” inside. The packet we reviewed also includes vivid drawings and songs: theguardian.com/us-news/2026…

This is a person thinks that Fred Hampton, Huey P. Newton, Angela Davis, Bobby Seale, Kwame Ture, who were all socialists, were a scam.
Replying to @layneashley222
It does. We are the largest voting blocs in the party. DSA scam worked hard to infiltrate the party in the primaries with these chaotic candidates that take up media space. We just have to keep the momentum in exposing them and continue to show up in the polls

Just curious, have you tried living in reality? Ever?
Kinda weird that the “big tent” no longer includes Black or Jewish voters

Kinda weird that arab voters get blamed for not voting Kamala when it's against genocide. But when it's a fraction of jewish voters making Israel their singular issue, and stabbing the party in the back, you don't have the same standards for them.

This video of Israel using silenced weapons to murder 15 medical workers who are clearly in ambulances, and then they buried them and their ambulances to cover up their War Crime was released 18 months ago. Of course it was completely ignored. DONT LET THEM.

I've already said it and I'll repeat: only those who support pedophilia are against childhood sex education.
For me, every school should be required to have this type of activity.

Haaretz corroborating what I wrote below: the judge found the settlers to be the initiators of the violence, yet still let them walk while punishing Andrey and me.
.@the_andrey_x and I were charged with assault, along with five other offenses. After being kept up all night and interrogated for seven hours, we finally saw a judge. He watched the footage and concluded it was clearly a one-sided attack and that we were the victims. His response was to ban us from the West Bank for two months, let the police keep my phone, and bring no charges against the settlers he had just watched attack us.

"But Israel is a democracy" Israeli Judge btw.
לפני עניין התמיכה בטרור וקשיים אחרים המניעה לשילוב המפלגות הערביות בממשלה נעוץ בתפיסתן את מדינת ישראל כ"מדינת כל אזרחיה". זה היפוכו של עקרון המדינה היהודית שמעוגן בהכרזת העצמאות, בחקיקת יסוד ובחוקים נוספים. אין לכך קשר לשוויון זכויות אזרחי ושילוב אזרחים ערביים במערכות ציבוריות
