It was transforming the biggest NFL stage in the world into a sugar cane plantation that did it for me.
Like, the multiple layers of turning an American icon into a plantation and highlighting the history of exploitation of Black and Brown bodies by the NFL and American colonialism simultaneously?

happening this morning in Minneapolis -- ICE agents drawing guns on observers. I reiterate again that it is only a matter of time before DHS kills more innocent people in Minnesota. Congress needs to shut this shit down right now.

👀 Every Senate Democrat + Collins and Murkowski just voted for the Bernie Sanders amendment to repeal the $75 billion in additional ICE funding under Trump’s “big beautiful bill.” The measure failed 49-51.

This is an embarrassingly bad and false take. 1. Pregnant people are punished every day in MO (see family policing/separation, drug policies, etc) 2. To think the state of Trump (MO) honors our constitution is…a white lady’s fantasy

A Black man was killed by ICE (off duty) in Los Angeles on New Year’s Eve. And like Renée Good, he was an American citizen. But most people have not heard about Keith Porter.
I need y’all to realize this. Black people experience this lack of visibility all the time when it comes to being victims.

![screenshot 2/2 with some words highlighted in yellow. they are offset by asterisks below:
**Second, the 2023 REMS is “otherwise not in accordance with law.” 5 U.S.C. § 706(2)(A). Under 18 U.S.C. § 1462** [NOTE: THIS IS THE COMSTOCK ACT. IT'S 18 U.S.C 1461-1462], Congress prohibits the use of “any express company or other common carrier or interactive computer service” for “any drug, medicine, article, or thing designed, adapted, or intended for producing abortion.” Because a federal agency cannot permit what federal law expressly prohibits, FDA lacked authority to permanently remove the in-person dispensing requirement.
For these reasons, and as set forth fully in Plaintiffs’ Complaint and supporting Memorandum of Law, interim relief is necessary and appropriate to mitigate irreparable injuries caused by the 2023 REMS. Interim relief will serve the public interest and will not harm Defendants.
This Motion is made on the grounds specified in this Motion, the accompanying Memorandum of Law, the exhibits attached to this Motion, the Complaint, and the Complaint’s accompanying exhibits, as well as on such other and further oral or documentary evidence as may be presented to the Court at or before a hearing on this Motion.1 An exhibit list and a proposed order are attached.
