1/ In this week’s episode, @wabenews reporter @stephannnnie unearthed evidence of a 1936 lynching in Atlanta that researchers believe was led by a police officer.

That same officer was later named the KKK’s national leader. revealnews.org/episodes/the-l…
2/ @stephannnnie first learned about the death of Thomas Finch during a visit to the National Memorial for Peace and Justice in Montgomery, Alabama.

The only available information there was the year of his death.

So she started digging.

3/ She uncovered a nearly forgotten report by an organization called the Commission on Interracial Cooperation.

It concluded that Finch was falsely accused of raping a white woman, then murdered by a mob led by Samuel Roper, an Atlanta police officer.

As smoke from several wildfires blankets several areas of California, a reminder that its effects can linger for months: revealnews.org/article/the-sm…
As part of an analysis we completed last year, we found that emergency room visits in CA surged several months after a previous large wildfire was extinguished.
If you're in the #BayArea, we suggest following our friends at @KQED for updates about smoke conditions near you. #KincadeFire

Am I allowed to be outraged by this, or does that make me "antisemitic" ?

- Video of a Palestinian child being assaulted by Israeli police this morning.
By @syedakif17

Isreali goons dressed in uniforms violating basic human rights of Palestinians 24/7.

Constitution of Israel is based on Talmud where Goyims have no rights.

If a Zionist kill anyone, he's not to be punished, he's owns gentiles.

@Facebook “used us for crisis PR...They are more interested in making themselves look good & passing the buck…I strongly believe that they are spreading fake news on behalf of hostile foreign powers and authoritarian governments.” ~@brooklynmarie

HT @ChiefCovfefe
Facebook was pushing reporters to prioritize debunking misinformation that *affected Facebook advertisers*, which @brooklynmarie thought crossed a line: “You’re not doing journalism anymore. You’re doing #propaganda.”🤬

Another fact-checker who has long worked on the #Facebook partnership said they were demoralized, saying that #Facebook is “a terrible company and, on a personal level, I don’t want to have anything to do with them.”🔥

@StalinIsBack
1/8 My favorite #quote by #JosephStalin, which explains the scientific, #DialecticalMaterialist explanation of true freedom in material reality, not just as an abstract ideal. #StalinIsBack #StalinLives #JVStalin #Stalin #StalinQuote #StalinQuotes #Truth #MELS #MarxismLeninism
2/8 Having an #objective, #rational, #ScientificSocialist, #Dialectical, & #Materialist viewpoint allows us to accurately see & evaluate & analyze #Truth & #Reality as they truly materially exist in this universe.
3/8 An idealistic, dogmatic viewpoint, which capitalists have, however, makes one irrational enough to 'see' freedom where freedom stays trapped on a piece of paper while people are oppressed in their actual lived lives.
