Tessa Thompson: As a Black American, there is a kind of bone-tired exhaustion in fighting the battles that we have fought so many times before, and insisting time and time again, generation after generation, that people have the right to exist even if they speak out against the state.

De Niro: I hate to say it, but loving our country is starting to sound like an abused spouse saying they love their abuser. I can’t love a country that starts stupid and inhumane wars, killing thousands of innocents and indirectly causing the deaths and suffering of millions more. I can’t love a country that takes healthcare away from millions of people and uses that money to enrich their pals in the Trump-Epstein class. I can’t love a country that sends out masked militias to shoot citizens in the streets, torture our neighbors, and separate families. I can’t love a country that’s led by a racist, misogynist, xenophobic tyrant. And let me just say it: I can’t love a country that’s led by Donald Trump and his sycophant Congress.

Three Black men were exonerated after spending nearly 30 years in prison for the 1997 killing of a Philadelphia woman, despite no physical evidence tying them to the crime. Prosecutors said the case relied on unreliable eyewitness testimony and flawed forensic findings. This is why we keep demanding truth, accountability, and justice in a system that too often steals the futures of our people. Wrongful convictions destroy families, rob generations, and can never truly be repaid.

Ruby Dee, 1969, reading some of the names of unarmed young Black men killed by police. Throughout her life Dee and her husband Ossie were on the frontlines of the Civil Rights Movement, raising money for movements, working closely with figures like Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. and Malcolm X, and enduring FBI surveillance for their radical activism.

If you can’t tax billionaires and trillionaire because “its unrealized gains until they cash out,” then stop letting them leverage that wealth for loans, as collateral, or as equity. If it’s not real enough to tax, it shouldn’t be real enough to leverage. This is why we say the system is rigged in favor of the super wealthy. Abolish billionaires, tax them out of existence, protect working people.

BREAKING: In a stunning moment, Donald Trump's former economic advisor just admitted on Fox News that inflation is being driven nearly exclusively by bad decisions that Donald Trump has made. Wow.

Trump may as well have called the rest of us peasants. According to him, it wasn’t workers who built America. It was rich guys like him and his cabinet: “These people built the country, not the complainers. The complainers didn’t build the country…. Whether it’s fishermen or farmers or anything else. Me. Guys like me, they built the country. And you know, I watch all these ingrates, they’re always complaining, complaining. They didn’t build anything, they couldn’t build anything.”

If you or I skipped a tax bill, the IRS would come knocking. Donald Trump and his family? "Forever barred" from audits. The Trump family is abusing the presidency to rig the rules in their favor.

The larger picture gives perspective.

“There comes a time when silence is betrayal.” #MLK #SilentBetrayal #TheKingCenter

That's a great observation. The right's screaming outrage about DEI is not about qualifications, it's really all about racism And this is proof positive right here. #FightTheRight

NASHVILLE— REP. @brotherjones_: “I was a professor here, teaching environmental racism. @Fisk1866 U President (Dr. Clark) asked me if it would conflict with plans to build a data center on campus. I started teaching about dangers of A.I… my class was canceled within a week.”🤔

Karmelo Anthony, a Black teenager, has been sentenced to 35 years in prison after being convicted by a jury with no Black jurors. Whatever one believes about the verdict itself, we cannot ignore the larger truth that many Americans are wrestling with: justice is still being administered through a system with a long history of racial disparity in sentencing and punishment. This requires more than reaction. It requires moral honesty about who is deemed dangerous, whose pain is centered, and how differently accountability has often been applied in America. If we want justice worthy of its name, it cannot be shaped by race. #KarmeloAnthony

On this day in 1967, a white officer killed Martin Chambers, an unarmed Black 19-year-old who reportedly had stopped running and had his hands up against a fence when he was shot. calendar.eji.org/racial-inju…

Nem uma única bola rolou no gramado até agora e este é o quadro da COPA 2026: • As equipes do Senegal e do Uzbequistão foram tratadas na chegada como criminosos, com buscas completas em seus orifícios. • O melhor árbitro da África foi enviado de volta à Somália, apesar de seu passaporte diplomático. • O Fotógrafo da equipe do Iraque foi impedido de entrar mesmo com visto válido. • Foi negada a entrada nos EUA de 90% dos fãs marroquinos com ingressos já adquiridos. • Foram recusados vistos a 14 membros da equipe de apoio do Irã. • Foi negada a entrada no país do principal atacante da Suíça, o camaronês Breel Embolo. A equipe viajou sem ele. Após a forte repercussão, o visto foi enfim concedido. • A equipe iraniana, cujos jogos serão todos nos EUA, foi proibida de pernoitar no país. Imediatamente a após cada partida, os atletas voarão de volta ao México, onde se hospedam. - Qual é o sentido de sediar a Copa do Mundo se não pretendem que o MUNDO faça parte dela???

Four USPS workers have died at the Palmetto, Georgia mail sorting facility since it opened just two years ago, including Eric Smith and Demarcus Little, whose deaths have left coworkers searching for answers. Now, workers are raising concerns about safety and the inability to reliably call for help inside the building. No one should fear losing their life simply for going to work!
