Everything I studied about Reconstruction in college really made me lose faith in America, as a project. Southern Black Republicans took the poor, landless Southern white peasantry and gave them agency, schools, etc., and they just repaid them with Jim Crow.

ICE detain 2 teenage brothers— at high school bus stop. 10 carloads of agents surrounded kids—zip tied them in front of classmates. 15 and 18 year old brothers were then separated—sent to detention centers in different states. Both were in U.S. legally with F-1 student visas.

WILD: 🇺🇸 Congressman Goldman showed 'credible FBI receipts' that Trump "unzipped his pants, forced a 13-year-old’s head down, and when she bit his p*nis, he punched her and called her a b*tch." "There's multiple allegations that he sexually assaulted young girls."

Slavery in this country lasted 246 years. Jim Crow lasted around 100 years. Our attempt to remedy the impact of those crimes against humanity was met with white terrorism & savagery. The laws we finally got passed to address these harms were relentlessly challenged & lasted

🧵THREAD: The Supreme Court ruled today that drawing a congressional district to give Black voters fair representation is unconstitutional racial discrimination. The Court did not rule that drawing a district to take Black voters' representation away is unconstitutional racial

If you have 3 minutes to watch Pete Hegseth get schooled by Ro Khanna, you need to watch this! Listen through the end. It’s EPIC! Congressman Ro Khanna: “How much did it cost American taxpayers in terms of the strike on the school?” Pete Hegseth: “I wouldn’t tie a cost to it.”

🚨HOLY SHIT: Rep. Sara Jacobs tells Pete Hegseth he may have MENTAL PROBLEMS if he thinks they are winning then war: “If you think that this is what winning looks like, then maybe we should be questioning your mental stability.” BOOM.

This SCOTUS rulings so far •Universities using race criteria to counter historical racism in admissions is unconstitutional, BUT •ICE fascists using race criteria to target people of color is constitutional, BUT •State legislatures using race criteria to counter historical

From The New York Times This has been 60 years in the making. My mother was a teenager when Black people got the right to vote. She was in her 20s when women got the right to have a bank account in their own name. She will die seeing the pendulum swing and her own daughter have

This is what it looks like to stand up when democracy is on the line! Florida Rep. Angie Nixon disrupted a special session to protest gerrymandering, declaring, “This is a violation of the Constitution.” We must continue to protect the power of the people’s vote! ✊🏿 🎥:

We are here because people didn't fully understand why their votes counted. Why sitting out elections has consequences, and how voting based on excitement is harmful. Now here we are, with not only a conservative Supreme Court, but a Supreme Court hell-bent on taking away

Today, the Supreme Court effectively gutted the 15th Amendment, and I don’t think enough people understand what’s going on and how the intentional and strategic erosion of laws that were specifically written to enfranchise Black people is now being quickly taken away.

Massive bombshell. Former US Representative Marjorie Taylor Greene explicitly confirms Donald Trump was forced to make a secret deal with the Zionist lobby to become president. She exposes how the Trump administration is completely held captive by Benjamin Netanyahu and Israel.

56% of all Black Americans live in the South. Outside of Virginia, they will have zero representation in Congress if things continue moving in this direction. Jim Crow Southern dictatorship has returned at the federal level.

OMG í posted about the Trump Administration placing Australian flags instead of British flags all over Washington D.C not realizing it was literally thousands of them draped over every light pole & fence there is & The King & Queen saw them before they were switched out. 🤬

This Maryland man speaks to his local City Council in Maryland after he receives a $675 dollar electric bill & he’s the only one that lives in the home. He said his bills are getting higher by the month & this also includes his Utility bills too.He says Americans are struggling.

Lousiana has the second-highest percent of Black residents of any state in the country, second only to Mississippi. New Orleans, Baton Rouge and Shreveport are three of the Blackest major cities in the USA. The Supreme Court just ruled that Louisiana cannot have a single

Suspending a primary election days before early voting starts just so you can redraw the maps to disenfranchise Black and brown voters is a perfect example of the lengths Republican politicians will go to rig our democracy in their favor.

🇺🇸BREAKING: Louisiana Republicans are cancelling an ongoing election to eliminate Black majority districts. The election already started. People have already voted. Republicans are about to cancel those votes. Never in American history has an election been cancelled this way.

The U.S. Coast Guard cannot pay its bills. The military branch – now 75 days into the longest shutdown in U.S. history – owes over $300 million in unpaid obligations. And with thousands of utility bills overdue, totaling $5.2 million, duty stations and military housing worldwide
