The Intercept · What Comes Next in Mahmoud Khalil’s Fight Against DeportationBy Jonah Valdez

50 years ago Freda Josephine Baker (née McDonald) died in #Paris #france

She was an #artist, #singer, #dancer, #actress, and a #fighter for #freedom

During #WW2 she fought against #facism as part of the #resistance and always fought against #racism

She was an #independent #woman that resisted inequality of her time

Her life was not easy, she did not inherit fortunes she could build on

She did it herself

Let's borrow some of her courage & build a society she'd liked

@dianshuo @randahl I genuinely think they do - #misogyny and institutionalised #racism let them to this moment in time - there is no resistance to the Arancia Duce or any meaningful change, until the majority of society there accepts that these 2 things are a problem.Of course they need to work on these 2 things.There will be no real elections there anyway, so there is no point in even stating or debating if #USA a #democracy. It is not.It is as much democratic as #Russia or #Belarus.

Interview: Supreme Court Orders U.S. to “Facilitate” Return of Kilmar Abrego Garcia

The Maryland resident was denied due process rights & deported to the notorious CECOT prison in El Salvador.

Trump claims he can't ensure Abrego Garcia's safe return.

Is it me or this nobody who gets famous by licking transphobes' a$$ rather than actually winning a competition also managed to make it a display of racism?

Taking a knee has important significance in the Civil Rights Movement. It's a gesture against racism and discrimination.

This white person actually thought she was discriminated and had a right to take a knee.
It's #WhitePrivilege and #CulturalAppropriation all in one.
