  8. Joaquin Phoenix. Wow! “I think we truly have to do the hard work to understand systemic racism. I think that it is the obligation of the people that have created, perpetuated and benefit from a system of oppression to dismantle it, so that’s on us.”

  11. The investigation into Myon Burrell's case did NOT uncover new evidence. It EXPOSED how prosecutors relied on jailhouse informants, paid witnesses, ignored Mr. Burrell's co-defendant saying he was innocent and more. Amy Klobuchar knew or should have known about all of that.

  14. 164 nations have signed the Mine Ban Treaty & Trump just revoked the US from committing to banning Mines What a shameful atrocity. Innocent people will be killed, mutilated, and amputated as a result. Utterly horrifying This is your “pro life” President

  15. This   discard the myth that slavery ended in 1865 America—Never—Abolished—Slavery It simply moved it to the prison system & transferred freed slaves to legalized prisons. In 2020, America is making billions off Black imprisoned slaves

  19. Did you know at Monday's Iowa caucus They’ll Be Caucusing in mosques for 1st time?! My article about how Muslims in Iowa have become more active in politics in an effort to crush Trump's bigotry. While Trump bans Muslims, Dems embrace them

  20. Just to be clear; ALL politics are “identity politics.” The debate just so happens to be over which identities are deserving of dignity and basic human rights.
