Reverend Jesse Jackson called on each of us to be heralds of change, to be messengers of hope; to step forward and say “Send me” wherever we have a chance to make an impact.
How fortunate we were that Jesse Jackson answered that call. What a great debt we owe to him.
A cartoon from the 1950’s that’s more relevant than ever 💔
Delivered like the malignant narcissist that he is.
AYMAN: Can you tell me where Iran killed thousands of Americans in America?
ANNA PAULINA LUNA: I said they are responsible for thousands of Americans being killed
AYMAN: Where?
LUNA: Are you serious right now?
AYMAN: It seems like you don't want to have a good faith conversation
"That's the way it is," says the five-time draft dodger to our military families who fear their loved one in uniform could be next.
What a disgrace.
All y'all going to jail
ICYMI: The “SAVE America Act” has been called the “Jim Crow Act” for a reason. The attack on citizens who are Black, Latino, Asians, Native Americans, is real. It hurts women who changed their names after marriage, ppl who struggle to buy food!. #votingrights are all our rights!

I'm so proud and relieved that Abigail Spanberger is Virginia's governor and stands guard against Trump. She gets it. Her rebuttal against Trump's bullshit lies and raving brought me to tears of hope that the end of Trump is closer than ever.
Elon Musk, Peter Thiel, and Rupert Murdoch have done more harm to America than all the other immigrants combined.
New Jersey has proposed the F.U.C.K.I.C.E Act. www.nytimes.com/2026/02/21/n...
"As the journalists interacted with the migrants, uniformed police barged in and detained the lawyer and four journalists. Police confiscated their cameras, laptops and phones..."

PROJECTION. ffs, it's everything they say. Control the narrative by accusing someone else of your crimes first.
$413,000 per bed. Insanity.
While they cut health care, food assistance, etc.
Oh, my goodness, this is a huge breakthrough in cancer research. This is another example of why it is crucially important to fund basic scientific research.

Jesse Jackson appeared on Sesame Street in 1973.
During his appearance, he led a group of children in reciting his well-known poem “I Am Somebody,” a message focused on self-worth and empowerment
The segment became one of the most memorable celebrity appearances from the early seasons of the show.
Right-wing Heritage Foundation’s own data shows fewer than 100 noncitizens voted since 1982 (!!!)
This is not a real problem. “The SAVE ACT is a Trojan horse to nationalize elections”: open.substack.com/pub/thiswill...
There are ~90 million people alive today because of USAID. Russ Vought illegally shut it down and now is spending the money on himself. These are deeply evil people. www.reuters.com/world/us/whi...
"This is the most shamelessly, brazenly, openly corrupt and compromised government in modern American history and, astonishingly, the person who sits at the center of much of that corruption and compromise isn’t even a member of the government: It’s Jared Cory Kushner, First Son-in-Law." - me
"officials in the Trump-Vance administration and others close to the White House paint a stark portrait of a president attempting to save face and declare “Mission Accomplished,” as one Trump adviser ironically puts it, after starting a war that Team Trump knows it’s losing badly."
This is the white nationalist and pusher of antisemitism that the Trump administration is trying to get confirmed right now in the Senate. Shameful sick stuff:
1/ ProPublica collected handwritten letters in mid-January from children held at the Dilley Immigration Processing Center, the same facility where 5-year-old Liam Conejo Ramos was taken.
Hundreds of kids are still detained.
We’ll let the children’s words speak for themselves. 🧵
This should concern us all. You cannot speak of freedom and liberty and then support this regime’s actions.

Rep. Delia Ramirez to DHS officials: "I have as much respect for you as I do for the last white men who put on masks to terrorize communities of color. I have no respect for the inheritors of the Klanhood and the slave patrol. Those activities were criminal and so are yours."
The social relevance of the Turning Point USA half-time show in comparison to the Bad Bunny Super Bowl performance is roughly equivalent to the cultural footprint Allen & Rossi left when they appeared on the Ed Sullivan Show with The Beatles.
I’m so inspired by these young people right here in Claremont and across the country who are coming together to stand up against Trump's authoritarianism. Together, we will continue to stand up for our rights, dignity, and safety. claremont-courier.com/schools/the-...
