ICE killed Lorenzo Salgado Araujo. They want you to be apathetic. Don’t be. | Will Bunch
Salgado came from Mexico, built the American Dream, sent his sons to college, and was senselessly killed by ICE.

Will Bunch@willbunch.bsky.social · 4w agoICE desperately wants you not to care about this story But we must. The killing of Lorenzo Salgado Araujo, a Mexican national striving for his American Dream, is a moral outrage, and a warning. ICE hopes you won't notice that mass deportation is back My new column www.inquirer.com/opinion/ice-...
Today would have been the 60th birthday of my long gone girlfriend Lesley Pitts, who died in 1999. This essay is one I wrote about our time together living in Chelsea, a neighborhood I'd loved since my nights hanging at Danceteria a decade before. open.substack.com/pub/opensecr...

Strictly 4 My Navigators@lizzslockeroom.bsky.social · last mo.Remembering Pat Morita on his birthday (June 28, 1932 – November 24, 2005) 💙🕊 I love this clip of him talking about Redd Foxx #PayItForward
I WAS BLESSED to be the graduation speaker for these Brooklyn, New York 5th graders this week. It was right at their age I started dreaming of being a writer. I was inspired by them, just being there.
pete nice was the prime minister of 3rd bass for longer than all of them combined smh
Kieran Healy@kjhealy.co · last mo.Britain about to get its seventh Prime Minister in ten years. I can’t say I’m surprised. As a people they’re often wonderful of course—very musical, for example, many charming customs, and always joking around in their quirky way—but they just don’t have the temperament for stable self-government.
@michaelsteele.bsky.social covering the Obama Presidential Center's opening on MS Now deserves a hard, shady side-eye. How's it feel to have been the anti-Obama token back then, bruh? Share THAT insight, mmkay? We haven't forgotten you tap dancin' for those racists when you lead the RNC, sir. XO
I'll just add a line from the movie Car Wash, from Antonio Fargas' gender-queer character, Lindy. Taunted by a bigot, he fires back, "I'm more man than you'll ever be and more woman than you'll ever get." These jerks afraid of a strong, intelligent BLACK woman have no idea how weak they are.
Aaron Rupar@atrupar.com · 2mo agoJosh Hokit just ended his post-fight speech at the White House UFC event by yelling "Michelle Obama is a man!" A disgraceful spectacle through and through
June 11, 1963. My late sister in law - Vivian Malone - with the help of the Department of Justice and President Kennedy integrated the University of Alabama. The Governor of the state, George Wallace, stood in the school house door to prevent her from enrolling.
Jalen Brunson: “You’re allowed to think about the worst possible scenario. But you gotta go out there and do something about it.” A good mantra for fighting fascism too.
On May 30, 2024, former President Donald Trump became the first U.S. president to be convicted of a crime, with a New York jury finding him guilty on all 34 felony counts of falsifying business records in connection with hush-money payments he made during the 2016 presidential campaign.
Don't forget to take a little extra time out to be racist to Black people today! It's a Memorial Day tradition! Remember, US history isn't US history until weirdos like Hegseth have instructed everyone to remove all traces of Black people's contributions from it! 🤡
Mekka Okereke@mekka.mekka-tech.com · 3y agoHappy Memorial day, especially to those who know how Memorial Day started. Far right officials in multiple states think that knowing how Memorial Day started would somehow make people like their country less. I think these officials trying to erase history are making people like their country less.
Now how are we gonna make a thing go right? How will we ever make it outta sight? RIP Rob Base

One way or another, this country is going to learn that accommodating white supremacist ideology will destroy this country. It did so once before and is doing so again. Is this country really prepared to allow our military to be DESTROYED by racism & sexism. Are we watching this like a TV show?
