Since people are curious about Haitians at the moment, I strongly recommend the brilliant section on Haiti in "Black AF History" by Michael Harriot. You're going to learn things and, hopefully, appreciate our neighbors a bit more.

NEW: Unsealed indictment charges self-proclaimed Proud Boy Bart Gore, of TN, and his friend Kevin Moore, of WV, with conspiring against Congress on Jan. 6. Gore allegedly said he would have been satisfied "if they brought Nancy's head out on a stick." wusa9.com/article/news/n…

I'm exhausted even saying it, but blocking supply won't reduce prices, and it's not even close.

A lot of Black people are starting to talk about immigrants the way white people talk about Black people. Don’t

Seems legit…

"It's stochastic terrorism... He is inciting public violence against Haitians... and it is working, if your goal is to cause terror and pain." Journalist/lawyer @elienyc speaks to me on this week's #MehdiUnfiltered about JD Vance. Full show/interview: zeteo.com/p/trumps-assas…

"I never thought the leopards would eat MY face" --says Asian-American advocates who joined forces with white supremacists to kill affirmative action. nytimes.com/2024/09/17/us/…

Somehow, the racist Trump lady who immediately jumped to the conclusion that Haitians had taken her cat that was in her basement still has more BASIC HUMAN DECENCY than JD Vance... because she, at least, apologized.

Pay attention to those stories where Disney is blaming Lightyear's performance on the queer kiss. This is what marginalised authors have been saying for years. If our stuff flops, it's the marginalisation that's blamed, not the individual property. Then less is bought.

Cops open fired on a TURNSTILE JUMPER on a crowded subway platform, injuring for OTHER people, and Mayor Soon-To-Be-Indicted Adams praised them. This man is Giuliani with more corporate boot licking, and if he was white more people would get that.

The Fed chose the big cut, reducing rates by half a percentage point to below 4-3/4 to 5 percent. The economy is getting back to normal, inflation is back down to normal, and so now rates are heading back to normal. The right decision, albeit a tad late.

Here's what gave the Fed the room to move: The US beat inflation faster and more completely than other G7 country, and we did so while continuing to grow the economy.

Never underestimate the ability of racism to make people vote against their own interests. Never.

NEW: Ryan Zink, of TX, joined the mob at the U.S. Capitol on Jan. 6 and said the feds "will have to kill me" if they planned on arresting him. Then he ran for Congress. Now, prosecutors say he deserves the maximum possible prison sentence. wusa9.com/article/news/n…
