Everyone has a second full time job being mad at the government now
The American experiment is based on the idea that citizenship is not based on ethnicity. We tried to conflate the two with slavery and the constitution failed as a result. The reconstruction amendments made this principle explicit. This shit is fundamentally anti American and anti patriotic.
I stopped by our very own South LA Cafe to celebrate Black Business Month this August! đ Not only did their fresh-ground coffee hit the spotâmy conversation with Joe about the hustle, impact, and resilience of his Black-owned business left me inspired.
âď¸ In grad school, @courtneyboen.bsky.social and I talked often about the emotions that seemed to undergird racism. Trayvon, Tamir, Mike Brown and too many more changed us. Ten years later, our findings in @sfjournal.bsky.social: academic.oup.com/sf/advance-a...

As we begin a new month, my law firm is litigation 51 voting and election cases in 25 states. 6 in Arizona 6 in Georgia 4 in Florida 4 in North Carolina 8 involve redistricting
This is very awkward, but someone is impersonating me using the email karenkhowriter@gmail.com, contacting artists and asking them for money. Several artists have forwarded examples of the emails.

The docuseries takes audiences on a two-part journey through the history of Black representation on television, showcasing how Black artists and creators both shaped and revolutionized the medium while confronting the systemic challenges that have often undermined their contributions.
70 years ago, on this date, Emmett Till was kidnapped and brutally murdered by white men. His family, including his cousin who was with him at the time, is repeating the train ride he took from Chicago to Mississippi in 1955 to mark the anniversary
ELECTION RESULT from Alabama: Paul Prine, the former police chief of Mobile who was fired last year while facing a damning report about his departmentâs use of force against Black residents, has lost the mayoral race. He came in third, and will not move forward to the September runoff.

These guys should be home with their families.
The story of America since the Civil War has been a total lack of accountability. The Confederacy got let off entirely, no one went to jail for Vietnam, Iraq/torture, the Great Recession, Jan. 6, etc. We are in this moment precisely because people in power continue to get away with criminality.
President Trump issued an executive order today that attempts to force states that have modernized their pretrial release policies to adopt cash bail instead. It's worth noting that Trump himself benefited from New York's cashless bail system and remained free while he was convicted of 34 felonies
Dear journalists: The President has not fired Lisa Cook. The President is *trying* to illegally fire her. Your words shape peopleâs reality. Please be accurate in your reporting.
Real slow so you understand.
Speech = "terrorism"? When I commented that what's happening in the UK is *in some ways* worse than what's going on in the US, I received an outraged response from a UK person. But... really?
The sheer amount of time, money, and resources this government has spent to torture one random guy is astounding.
The fact that this administration is hell bent on punishing Kilmar Abrego Garcia while rewarding Ghislane Maxwell tells you all you need to know about their violent racism and misogyny.
Such amazing medical breakthroughs will be denied to the American people because of anti-science zealots in the White House.

âI was r*ped sometimes 3 times a day on that island⌠and I was not the only girl on that island⌠Ghislaine must die in prison, because Iâve been in hell and back for the last 17 years.â Listen to the survivors.
trump said he would do this he told the american people he would do this his generals from the first debacle said he wanted to do this
I am so, SO tired of the majority of humans not listening to women and then having to hear them effectively say, âI told you so.â Cassandra was right and so were Hillary and Kamala. Of course, if people listened to and believed women, we wouldnât have to fight to release the #EpsteinFiles
The issue isnât that Maxwell lied throughout her entire proffer. She has been lying, deceiving and manipulating people her entire life. I expect it from her. The issue is that the US Department of Justice gave her very tangible benefits already for those lies with more to come.
Whose soul isn't crushed by this image? From street agents to the White House itself, there's not an imagined Hell hot enough for the people involved in escalating our brutal and dehumanizing machinery of immigration detention.
Virginia Giuffreâs family denounces âDAG Todd Blancheâs bizarre interviewâ of Ghislaine Maxwell in a statement. www.allrisenews.com/p/maxwell-tr...
Virginia Giuffreâs lawyer Sigrid McCawley reacts to the Maxwell transcripts, saying Maxwell ârepeatedly and brazenly liedâ to the government and is trying to ârecreate history.â Full statement
Donald Trump says he is going to deploy the National Guard to Chicago. This is what weak men do to pretend theyâre strong. Stay safe, stand with your community, and most importantly, know your rights:
Hereâs what was NOT released today: - the proffer agreement between Maxwell and the DoJ - the agreement transferring Maxwell to club fed - communications showing who waived Maxwellâs sex offender status allowing her transfer and possible work assignments outside prison - the Epstein files
Interactions from the last few days show ICE officers running their mouths at witnesses of their lawlessness. Now theyâre directing violence at them, too.
Fox 17 Nashville reports that Kilmar Abrego Garcia has been released from criminal detention in Tennessee and is on his way home to Maryland. âToday, Kilmar Abrego Garcia is free,â his attorney, @sean-hecker.bsky.social, said in a statement. fox17.com/news/local/k...

Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth has ordered National Guard troops patrolling the streets of Washington, D.C., to be armed
Trump is weak. The Epstein scandal has rocked him. The Economy is tanking. His poll numbers are dropping. This is when you FIGHT, not when you bend the knee and concede.
Have you witnessed ICE picking up people in D.C.? Did you film it or otherwise try to help? Iâd love to chat with you for a story! Iâm available on Signal at username maustermuhle.09. Thanks!
Amazing how the same ignorance can span across the seas and have the same "kind" of people.
If the nationâs Attorney General ignores ethics rules, why should any U.S. citizen trust the Justice Department? Every prosecution, every ruling, every âlaw and orderâ statement is poisoned by her corruption. #JusticeMatters #PamBondi

Check this shit! Earlier today, ICE tried to break into private property in Lynwood, California â no judicial warrant, no authority. Acting like thugs, not federal agents. Spoiler alert: Lynwood does not play. This trio of goons got sent packing.
These psychopaths are literally searching for crimes that do not exist
Do you know how insane and infuriating it is to live in a country where one party claims, with media and public support, the mantle of being the âtough on crimeâ party while its leader openly calls for convicted criminals to be released from prison âor elseâ?
As I become a one-woman broken record book self-promotion machine, this kind of thing makes me glad that I dropped everything to spend ~5 years writing a book that reemphasizes just how much politics in this country are driven by race, starting with slavery.
Just nowâŚ

This is now day 2 of the "slavery wasn't bad for the whites and whites are America" narrative which means it's a WH directed talking point and it feels like they're trying to soften up the public for what is next and fucking yikes man
Incredible 30 seconds
When we fight, when we use the leverage we have, the Administration backs down and our community is better off. We must keep the pressure on.
The shit Black people are expected to endure every day is mentally draining. So many people in this country celebrate racism. It's really fuc*ed up. www.wral.com/story/north-...
crazy, what is it about lisa cook that might have led the white house to baselessly accuse her of mortgage fraud in order to force her out of her job?
If a judge rules that DC cannot remain under permanent military occupation, a civilian force could be on standby. This is horrifying.
Today marks one month to go until the start of in-person early voting for the 2025 #Virginia general election: Friday, Sept. 19. Today also marks 11 weeks to go until Election Day itself: Tuesday, Nov. 4. (Fairfax: early voting is underway for #VA11. Send @jameswalkinshaw.bsky.social to Congress!)
NEW: McCarthyism returns to immigration law, as @USCIS announces that it will begin screening applicants for immigration benefits for "Anti-America ideologies or activities." The term has no prior precedent in immigration law and its definition is entirely up to the Trump admin.
Nicole Collier is an amazing example of the kind of person I would hope every child would want to emulate She graduated from Texas A&M School of Law and was a trial attorney In 2014, Collier won her 2nd term in the Texas House over Albert G. McDaniel, by a margin of 75.8% to 24.2%

Thank you to all of you for coming to my town hall last night in Manassas. Hearing your stories and concerns informs all the work I do in Washington. Itâs my honor to represent you in Congress.
NEWâ ICE vehicles chased a landscaping truck through Takoma Park, MD, on Monday about a mile from DC, which ended with the truck crashing on someoneâs lawn and narrowly missing another car, multiple residents confirm to me. Video shows ICE going into a backyard to find/arrest the men from the truck.
Iowans, we now have four Democratic candidates for U.S. Senate in our state: Nathan Sage Zach Wahls Jackie Norris Josh Turek Get to know them and support their efforts to reach out to voters across our state. We need the primary winner in June 2026 to win the general in November 2026.

I just canât. This has hit me so hard, I canât even explain how Iâm feeling right now. I donât know how to articulate the anger, rage, sadness, broken heartedness. The puncturing in my soul at how Rep. Collier has been treated. I canât wrap my head around it. When I try, the pain is overwhelming.
Hereâs a video from @meidastouch.com that Diddy Rump surely doesnât want you to see. So, letâs pass it around, shall we? #TrumpEpsteinCoverup
Georgetown Lawâs Appellate Courts Immersion Clinic is hiring for its fellowship/staff attorney position for 2026-2028. This is an INCREDIBLE opportunity to work with amazing lawyers on great cases. Here's the announcement: perma.cc/CX9E-NSEJ
ICE and MPD have set up a checkpoint at 17 and Benning NE, by the Ross.
Iâm always struck by the journalism thatâs on Instagram that I donât see here. For example, this image of a protestor â a US citizen â being arrested by ICE today at a car wash in Los Angeles. More details here: www.instagram.com/p/DNgex-xyAX...

Newâ Nazis with giant swastika flags marched in downtown Indianapolis on Saturday with two police escorts. They shouted âwhite powerâ and said to the woman who took this video (reshared here with her permission) âfuck you, n***** bitch.â Police did not intervene. I cannot find local news coverage.
First the terrorist tried to enter campus in a car filled with guns. When he wasnât allowed past the gates, he started firing from a CVS drugstore across the street. From a semi-automatic weapon, 500 shots is a lot. He was at it for a long time. Here are the weapons & shell casings he left behind.
Weâre not distracted and itâs not going away.
Showing their hand⌠The quiet part out loud again They wanted to inflict this on black and brown folks. Theyâre shocked đł that white people are being affected and speaking outâ so itâs âfakeâ!

I can get that "fix" by watching old Law & Order episodes. Real life is too sad right now.
We have three years to figure out how to deal with this eventuality. But make no mistake. Trump will do something far worse than January 6 to stay in power. Itâs inevitable.
Itâs so frustrating to think about all the people who helped elect Trump by not voting for Harris. www.rollingstone.com/politics/pol...
ICE got their unmarked vehicle towed while two masked men pinned a woman face down on the ground. She later needed medical attention.
NEW: Video shared with me from a bystander in DC shows multiple masked federal agents (at least one of whom appears to have an ICE badge) violently attacking and handcuffing a delivery worker in the street outside Bluestone Lane cafe near Logan Circle this morning. Please take care when watching.
BREAKING: If you want to see the collapse of Trumpâs con in real time, look outside the White House. Thousands screaming, not protesting for change â demanding his downfall. This is justice in the streets.
Please: DO NOT NORMALIZE OR EXPLAIN AWAY ARMED MILITARY ENGAGED IN LAW ENFORCEMENT IN AN AMERICAN CITY. If it doesnât seem that off base or unusual to you, perhaps itâs because you are not the target of this.
HAPPENING NOW: DC is on fire. Protesters in the streets. The fucking National Guard rolling out of Union Station like theyâre invading Baghdad. And a former elected official tried to block them. The government is declaring war on its own people.
The Constitution protects your right to record law enforcement in public.
Release the Epstein Files!
National Guard in cities is polling politically at 80% against lol - everyday pedophile Trump turns more Americans and US soldiers against him and Putin. đ #EpsteinFiles
Trump is laying low after his failure at the summit with Putin and members of Congress are home. But the residents of Washington, D.C., are out protesting in droves! They are demanding Trump be removed along with the National Guard troops!
Trump saturating Washington DC, arming National Guard, because he was a failure in Alaska and needs a diversion from that, and the Epstein files. Today the fine people of DC are protesting, chanting âRemove Trump, and the National Guard.â
