In 2002 @usda reported,"Of all private U.S. agricultural land,Whites account for 96 percent of the owners,97 percent of the value . . . ."
Blacks, American Indians, Asians, and Hispanics combined accounted for 4.3% owners,3.6% value. #rural #landownership ers.usda.gov/webdocs/publica…
ALT From the USDA's Winter 2002 "Rural America" periodical, Table 1 pictured here is titled "All private agricultural land owners, acres owned, and value of land and buildings, by race and ethnicity, 1999 Minorities own only a small part of the U.S. agricultural land base."
The seldom-quoted #MLK.
Help me get this circulating.

In 19 lawsuits against states that have refused to turn over voter rolls, the DOJ has cited the Civil Rights Act of 1960.
Judges marveled at the audacity of the administration to use a law passed to fight discrimination to keep people from voting.

Vance is confronted by the emotional husband of a soldier killed in Iran War and acts like he had no idea anyone ever died:
Q: It's a hard price to pay. There's a failure in the leadership. How will the leadership be held accountable?
Vance: If there were failures... This is the first time I've heard of this.

A Meta AI chatbot tells grad student Laura Morgado why Meta is backing Bolsonaro. “Trump & the Bolsonaros are the global political shield for big tech companies against the advance of European regulation & the Latin American left." Another technical glitch?padispatch.substack.com/p/me…

FYI @amprog's @neeratanden
We reviewed FBI documents that showed a sweeping pay-to-play investigation involving Sen. Susan Collins was in motion. Then Trump shut down the unit in charge.
Had we found a road map to corruption in Congress? We decided to dig deeper.

When accounts post, share or comment at very high frequencies it can trigger automated systems. That's what happened with the No Kings IG account in the lead up to today's day of action. Unfortunately, that automated action was clearly taken in error. Everything is now working as it should and we sincerely apologize.
What are @HouseMajPAC @DCCC @HouseDemocrats reactions to their former employee, @andystone who now works for @instagram/@facebook/@meta, tweeting wrongly-worded explainers for Zuck's "oopsie" with shutting down #Instagram acct. of @No_Kings (#NoKings) midday today during marches?

BACKSTORY: In 2008, @NeeraTanden set up what she thought would be an easy interview for @HillaryClinton with @Faiz Shakir, then editor of @ThinkProgress.
But Faiz asked about the Iraq War.
Later, Neera punched him & asked “Who the f— do you think you are?”

From @jvplive (Jewish Voice for Peace) and over 100 progressive leaders & organizations on November 9, 2015, regarding @netanyahu appearance with @neeratanden of @amprog.
jewishvoiceforpeace.org/2015…
Me: "Do you regret [hosting Benjamin Netanyahu at CAP]?"
Neera Tanden: "I wish we did not host him, a hundred percent."
Mehdi: "When did you realize that you shouldn't have hosted him?"
Neera: "I mean, he's been basically acting as a kind of war criminal, so yes, I absolutely regret hosting him."
Mehdi: "Because at the time, Neera, you emailed John Podesta saying Jonathan Lavine at Bain Capital 'is joining our board. So Netanyahu was worth it.' Smiley emoji."
Neera: "I don't remember that."

Rep. Ayanna Pressley in MI just praised AOC for the $1 million — and ripped DSCC.
“The DSCC should take note because it is shameful that we are not seeing an equitable investment in progressive and diverse candidates like Abdul El-Sayed, like Angie Nixon, like Scott Colom.”
Readers added context they thought people might want to know
DSCC has invested $16 million to date electing Abdul El-Sayed, according to its own statement. Senate Majority PAC has spent or committed tens of millions more in support.
