I predict this man has a very bright future.

Today, the Trump administration repealed the endangerment finding: the ruling that served as the basis for limits on tailpipe emissions and power plant rules. Without it, we’ll be less safe, less healthy and less able to fight climate change—all so the fossil fuel industry can make even more money.
For 117 years, the NAACP has been an essential champion in the fight for civil rights and justice.
I’m thankful for their relentless pursuit of justice and their continued, unflinching leadership. Happy Founders’ Day. ✊🏾

May we reflect on our nation’s past as we continue working to build a society that lives up to its democratic ideals.
The First Amendment is a foundational promise to every American: Each of us has the freedom to speak, to report, and to hold those in power accountable without fear of retribution or retaliation.
Of note: Declan Doyle and Lamar Jackson are THE SAME AGE (29)! What a change from Monken lol
JANE FONDA: “I know Don Lemon. My husband created CNN. And I will fight for their right to speak… they arrested the wrong Don. This is how autocrats act. We can’t fall for it.”

Alex Jeffrey Pretti was an ICU nurse at a VA hospital. His life, through his profession, was dedicated to serving his community and our country.
As so many have now seen on video, his final act before he was killed by federal agents was doing everything in his power to protect his community.
