We can either send @Target a clear message now, or be quiet & allow corporations use allyship when it’s convenient. My organization @StrikeForAll is calling on working class solidarity—#BoycottTarget & let’s build a movement that stands at the intersection of race and class.

‼️Who's Doing the Bending? (w/ @davidsirota)‼️ Ultimate good-faith lefty reporter, David Sirota, returns to Bad Faith to discuss Zohran Mamdani's choice to retain Zionist billionaire Jessica Tisch, Abdul El-Sayed's choice to campaign with Obama & Harris, & whether there's enough evidence to show that the Democratic Party cannot be bent left -- they're doing the bending.

On this day In 1966, The Black Panther Party for Self Defence was founded by Huey P. Newton and Bobby Seale. Originally founded to fight police racism, they were dedicated to liberating people from white supremacism and also fed the hungry and mentored youth. A THREAD

32 Years later, I still got this one on Lock!!! #pulpfiction

She helped steal $10 million from children’s healthcare, Greg. Angie is 100% right.

Netflix got a $930 million tax break last year from Trump’s so-called Big Beautiful Bill - a bill that also made the largest cuts to healthcare, education and nutrition in American history. “Corporations will create jobs if they get tax breaks” is a Big Lie made up by CEOs.

LOOK HOW SHE FUCKING ATE THAT OMG

The AIPAC era is over.

I was 11 years old when a phone call that came an hour late changed the course of my life. That delay kept me and my siblings from being at Ebenezer when my grandmother, Alberta Williams King, was killed. Some parts of life will remain a mystery. My faith does not erase grief or answer every question, but it gives me hope that God is present beyond what I can see and understand. #Faith #AlbertaWilliamsKing #MLK

Young Black American boys on a chain gang in 1903. This is around 40 years after the "end" of slavery. These boys are all in a forced labor camp, working for free, arrested for "loitering" & "vagrancy", "speaking loudly to a white woman” or such petty ‘crimes’.

Unlike the raid on John Bolton, the targeting of Omar has elicited zero condemnation from NYT, WSJ, and Washington Post. theintercept.com/2026/10/15/…

Why is she being escorted by cops when she was the one who was beat?

Trump just announced that he's backing away from the live streamed public exeucution. Hegseth is so extreme that even Trump realizes he needs to rein him in. Today, I'm cosponsoring @RepVindman's bill to ban the broadcasting public executions.

What if we invested in Americans the way we invest in war? Ben Cohen, co-founder of Ben & Jerry’s, and Sully break down something every American deserves to understand: where our tax dollars go and what else they could accomplish. Using Oreo cookies, we show what a $1.5 trillion Pentagon budget looks like and what investing just a fraction of that money could mean for affordable housing, tuition-free public college, ending homelessness, childcare, healthcare, and better teacher salaries. This isn’t about weakening our military. It’s about questioning our priorities. We can have a strong national defense AND invest in the American people. The question isn’t whether we have the money. It’s what we choose to do with it.

Walz is correct.

Famed soprano Martina Arroyo has died. She was 90. With her luminous voice and ease on stage, the Harlem native broke barriers as one of the first major Black opera stars in the 1960s and 1970s. She was also familiar to the nation's TV viewers at the time as a frequent guest on Johnny Carson's "Tonight Show." In 2013, she was honored by the Kennedy Center, just one of her many awards. Arroyo announced her retirement in 1989 and devoted herself to teaching.

Biden administration officials always knew that the US had the power to restrain Israel if it wanted to. They chose not to use that power as Israeli forces laid waste to Gaza and doctored their own reports so the flow of arms to Israel could continue: jacobin.com/2026/10/biden-is…

Politics is not primarily about the politicians. It’s about the people. When poor people, working people, and Black people are not organized to bring power and pressure to bear, the status quo becomes very difficult to change. Any time you can use your voice, energy, creativity, your arts, your prize, your title, to try to cast a limelight on people who are suffering! #TruthJusticeLove

Sixty-two years ago, on October 14, 1964, Daddy learned that he had been selected to receive the Nobel Peace Prize. He was just 35 years old. The honor recognized his leadership in the nonviolent struggle for civil rights. He accepted it on behalf of a movement whose courage and sacrifice had shown the world the power of nonviolence. Daddy’s philosophy calls us to confront injustice, transform unjust systems and affirm the dignity of every human being. It requires courage, discipline and love in action. Sixty-two years later, that work remains urgent. The responsibility to advance it remains ours. We honor my father’s legacy by practicing nonviolence in our daily lives and continuing the work to create the Beloved Community. #MLK #NobelPeacePrize #Nonviolence365 #BelovedCommunity

In 1901 a Missouri town killed three Black men in five hours — and then drove out every single Black family that lived there. They never came back. The town is still there. Look up its Black population today. Pierce City, Missouri. 19 August 1901. A young white woman named Gisela Wild was murdered the day before. There was no evidence pointing at anyone. A local historian puts it plainly: the absence of evidence is precisely what directed suspicion toward the town's Black residents. For about thirty-five hours the town worked itself up. Then a mob formed — townspeople, joined by men who heard about it and got off trains passing through. Will Godley 32, was thrown from a second-floor balcony of the Hotel Lawrence with a rope round his neck, and men below shot him repeatedly as he hung there. Pete Hampton, in his thirties, and French Godley, who was seventy years old, were killed when white men fired into a house and then set it alight. Other Black-owned homes burned the same night. And then the part that is the real subject of this post. The surviving Black residents of Pierce City left. All of them. Families whose roots in that place went back to a man named Judah Godley, brought there as a slave in 1848 — three generations in that ground — walked away from their houses and their businesses and did not return. Five hours of violence. A community erased. For a century nobody in Pierce City marked it. In 2023 there was a candlelight vigil, and a descendant of the Godley family said publicly that she had only recently learned this was her own history. That is what these events were built to achieve. Not just the killing. The removal, and then the forgetting, carried by the people whose family it happened to.
