Nine months before Rosa Parks, a 15-year-old Black child named Claudette Colvin was ordered to move to the back of the bus. She refused, was forcibly removed from the bus by police officers, whom she then assaulted in self-defense. Ms. Colvin was charged with violating segregation laws, and assaulting an officer. Yet she persisted in her fight as a lead plaintiff in a lawsuit to dismantle racial segregation. Her fight helped end Jim Crow laws. She has died at the age of 86. 😓 Rest in Power. ❤️✊🏽

CBS interviewed a 25-year police veteran who made it CLEAR that the killing of Renee Good was unlawful & unjustified under DHS policy. He explained that firing at a moving vehicle is tightly restricted & that Renee was driving away, not toward anyone, when shots were fired. CBS refused to air the interview. Just like they buried the CECOT episode. This is corporate media censorship protecting the Trump regime. I air the full interview & break it down in real time.

Across the U.S., people are rising up against ICE raids and state violence—and the risks are real. Peaceful protest is a constitutional right.

Our safety depends on each other.

CBS interviewed a 25 year police veteran and use of force expert who clearly states the killing of Renee Good in Minnesota by ICE last week was unlawful and unjustified. Then they buried it. Just like they did the CECOT interview. While Donald Trump, Kristi Noem, and JD Vance cruelly labeled Renee Good a “domestic terrorist,” the video evidence is clear. Watch the full video as I react in real time and break down exactly what the footage shows.

To become a Licensed Stylist in Illinois you must complete 1,500 hours of training in cutting, coloring, sanitation, and salon management, then pass State Licensing written and practical exams for your state's board of health/cosmetology—a process that takes up to two years. To become an ICE fascist licensed to kidnap & kill innocent people you can drop out of high school, turn 18, and take a 47 day training. This is what “meritocracy” looks like to fascists. 😐

Craziest thing about Donald Trump illegally bombing Venezuela, kidnapping Maduro & his wife, stealing Venezuelan oil, threatening to invade Cuba & Greenland, propaganda claims against Somalis, ICE fascists killing a U.S. Citizen in MN & shooting two more in OR—is that there are still ~5.2 million missing Epstein Files that Trump is hiding to protect himself & his fellow abusers—all while DOJ missed the release deadline in violation of a court order.😐

On fraud, the truth is basically the opposite of whatever MAGAs claim MAGA: Trump did NOT commit fraud JURY: 34X felony fraud convictions MAGA: The 2020 election WAS fraud COURTS: 62 rulings affirm NO fraud MAGA: Somalis commit all the fraud FACT: Fraud ring leader is a white woman named Aimee Bock MAGA: We detest all fraud! TRUMP: Pardons dozens of white people convicted of billions in fraud—total silence from MAGAs FACT: Every MAGA accusation is a confession.

The Trump regime claims they are legally justified in attacking Venezuela and kidnapping Maduro. As a human rights lawyer, I break down the 4 major flaws with their argument. This is an illegal act under US & international law, period.
