The richest man owns X.
The second and third richest men control Google.
The fourth richest man owns Facebook, Instagram, and WhatsApp.

Crockett: "The US is falling apart, partially bc he's allowing for killings in the street, but also bc we have a 34 count convicted felon being shielded from any type of accountability as it relates to a child sex trafficking ring. I don't understand why we're pretending any of this is normal."
AOC on ICE: Itβs our task to figure out how to claw back what has essentially supercharged this agency into becoming a relentless domestic paramilitary that is also a blank check to Palantir to create facial-recognition scans on U.S. citizens.
the reason DHS officers wear masks is because it allows them to commit crimes with impunity. there is literally no legitimate reason for it.
Ossoff: "This is a seismic event. This should have people across the country absolutely shook. This is a huge deal. This is an FBI raid on the Fulton County Elections office ... This is a shot across the bow at the midterm elections. He tried to steal power when he lost it in 2020."
Must read by Ta-Nehisi Coates on what happened on Minnesota.

If thatβs what they do to a US Senator with a question, imagine what they do to farm workers, day laborers, cooks, and the other nonviolent immigrants they are targeting in California and across the country. Or any American that dares to speak up.
I will not stop fighting to demand accountability.
Without comment. Keep hammering this.

Andry JosΓ© HernΓ‘ndez Romero, I remember you, even if I do not know how to articulate my horror, rage, & sorrow at your treatment by my government.

Quilting served as a quiet form of resistance. Denied the use of bright colors, enslaved women used scraps of fabric to stitch patterns into their bedding and clothing, preserving native African textile traditions. 145 days until Slavery Remembrance Day. #CountDowntoSRD
