ICE arrests Nashville journalist as free press groups demand her release Arrest of Nashville Noticias reporter Estefany Rodriguez Florez shows ‘cruel disregard’ for protections for asylum seeking reporters, advocates say

Dictators abroad target independent press to terrorize journalists & chill the public. Trump does the same thing targeting vocal & vulnerable voices here. Thanks @the-independent.com for featuring my condemnation of ICE detaining Rodriguez: www.independent.co.uk/news/world/a...

Community policing: expanding the carceral web Excerpt from Policing Black Lives: Revised and Expanded.

"[C]ommunity policing."

"'[P]ublic relations job' meant to 'sell the department.'"

"[P]olice paired 'dialogue' and 'outreach' with relentless racial profiling, harassment, and physical and psychological violence."

If you think that teaching what really happened to Indigenous & Black people in America is an attack on White people—that's a "you" problem.

Our history is here to stay—like it or not.

The US lost 92,000 jobs in February, per the Bureau of Labor Statistics.

Trump did that.

Screenshot of The Washington Post Russia is providing Iran intelligence to target U.S. forces, officials say The targeting information has included the locations of American warships and aircraft in the Middle East, the officials said. Photo caption: A building beside the U.S. Navy’s 5th Fleet headquarters in Juffair, Bahrain, was damaged by an Iranian attack drone over the weekend.

‼️Iran is “making very precise hits on early warning radars or over-the-horizon radars. They’re doing this in a very targeted way. They’re going after command & control.”

Iran possesses only a handful of military-grade satellites & no satellite constellation of its own.

A ‘pre-obituary’ as protest by a long-term survivor in Florida

16,000 people living with HIV are expected to lose coverage from the AIDS Drugs Assistance Program due to Florida's funding cuts.

Read Kamaria Laffrey's pre-obituary as a long-term survivor in Florida.

"Kamaria Laffrey writes an indictment of a system that’s failing people living with HIV."

‘Mass incarceration’ is a liberal myth. The truth is far worse. “The masses are not being policed, targeted, and incarcerated,” Distinguished Professor and author Dylan Rodríguez says; “it's a targeted war with asymmetrical casualties.”

Distinguished professor Dylan Rodriguez — @dylanrodriguez.bsky.social — speaks with former political prisoner and Black Panther Mansa Musa about “the horrifying truth” behind the prison industrial complex — and the politics that “dilute the power of radical movements trying to dismantle it”

A frightening thing about the right's expansion is the spread of openly fascist messaging across an incredibly diverse online landscape. This can be seen by tracking the # “Revolt Against the Modern World,” a book written by Julius Evola in 1934. (More relevant now than when I wrote it 3/4/23.) 🧵

Who is Mojtaba Khamenei, Iran’s presumed next supreme leader? And would he bring change – or more brutal suppression? Ali Khamenei’s son is known less for speeches or religious authority than for his influence and the networks he’s built behind the scenes.

Iran's new Supreme Leader: Mojtaba Khamenei - but his father OPPOSED this and named 3 other clerics. IRGC forced it through during airstrikes, bypassing procedures. First dynastic transfer since 1979. Mojtaba led brutal crackdowns on protesters. This is a wartime power grab.

How black slaves were routinely sold as ‘specimens’ to ambitious white doctors The horrors of slavery also spread to research: black bodies provided easy targets for medical experiments.

A lot of Texans of all races proudly said, “I’m voting for Jasmine Crockett.” It mattered. In the end, Texans chose Talarico, and she will support the nominee. She said it herself.

That said, this Texas primary is one I will never forget, even though I’d like to. Hear me out…

Epstein didn’t act alone.

His network of billionaires and celebrities used him to dodge taxes, abuse, and hoard wealth while the rest of us paid the price.

This isn’t about one man. It’s about an entire class.

DoJ cases against protesters keep collapsing as officers’ lies are exposed in court String of embarrassing defeats for prosecutors as experts condemn DoJ effort to cast people as ‘violent perpetrators’

Because cops don't actually know the law and just do what they're told to do, or arrest ppl that irritate them (not an arrestable offense), or just lie like they always do.

Bryan Betancur live-streamed threats to bash my head which was a violation of his probation for violating a 3 year anti-stalking order of another woman.

He had violated the anti-stalking order on her multiple times at the time of filming but I guess this was the judges red line so he went to jail.

This is why red states have higher voter apathy. Always shenanigans.

I feel bad for these folks just trying to exercise their constitutional right to vote and having to deal with this mess.
