My online girlfriend was so shocked by the Ukraine drone strike on the Russian data centre that she's been too upset to message me all day.

As part of my Black Women & Greenwich Village tour, I share the story of Rose Butler, an enslaved young Black woman who is the last known person to have been executed by hanging at Washington Square Park. 10,000 people came to see her execution: thevillagesun.com/the-executio...

Ukraine blows up Russian data centres and immediately and mysteriously online talk about Germany’s Far Right AfD virtually disappears. Stop Putin you stop the Far Right.

#SC 1000+measles cases this year. South Carolina is the epicenter. Lindsey Graham voted to put RFK Jr. in charge of public health-now his sister Darlene (with no experience) is running to perpetuate this nightmare for families. Your kids are paying the price for incompetence. Vote for Dr. Andrews!

#SC01 Low Country Your family's childcare bill eats 20-30% of what you bring home-money that should go to savings or your mortgage. Vet Nancy Lacore would cap it at 7% with quarterly credits. Lacore wants to stop the rigging that keeps working families broke while corps post record profits. #Pinks

🔊 Listen Now: How Trump reshaped the DOJ's Civil Rights Division to serve his agenda

Mike Rogers spent over two decades in Washington advocating for forever wars in the Middle East and has been a staunch advocate for Donald Trump's illegal war in Iran. Watch our new ad, "War."

No shit. Way to tell that crazy Twatzi Laura Looney off, Bill.

The blame

Marry us

Let me see if I understand this . . . 1. The U.S. is at war with Iran. 2. Russia is helping Iran in that war. 3. The U.S. is now giving Russia money that it can use to help Iran destroy U.S. bases and kill U.S. troops. Donald is smart & patriotic like that.

The first Russian diesel cargo heading for the US left St Petersburg on September 22, two weeks *before* Trump announced the deal with Putin, Windward reports. The Greek-flagged tanker Minerva Zen carrying 275,000 barrels of diesel/gasoil is due at the US East Coast around 11–12 October.

Thank you, America! Money from diesel will help me kill even more Ukrainian children.

She fought apartheid, defended Nelson Mandela, and helped change how the world prosecutes sexual violence. Today, at 85, Navi Pillay was awarded the Nobel Peace Prize. What an extraordinary woman. 💜 #SheShed #VivaHerAlliance

Roger Marshall charged his patients 18% annual interest on their unpaid bills. His bakery bill for $678.75 was due six years ago. At 18% interest compounded annually, the total he'd owe would be at least $1,800. Marshall just paid the bakery $1,300—far less than what his patients would owe.
