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.

I was 🥺

DONALD TRUMP KILLED 170 CHILDREN IN MINAB, IRAN AND THEN POSTED A SIZZLE REEL DECLARING "FLAWLESS VICTORY"

We are the bad guys.

We are the rogue nation we grew up being taught to fear and despise.

Glad my family taught me that those 'bad feelings' meant I was empathizing with those that are suffering. And that that was a good thing.

Today Trump told Dana Bash of CNN on the phone that he's fine with Iran being an autocratic theocracy, and emphasized that they don't need elections.

Just like he plans to do here.

A group of happy people are laying down a blanket and setting up a little stereo.

Two of the friends break off and begin throwing a football. One friend opens a basket of snacks to share.

They’re raping people on your dime.

Maybe if more parents agreed w/us that is okay to feel bad about some things (or when they do wrong) & learn, we'd have more adults who could take responsibility for their own actions. I can think of a lot of people in power right now that would've benefited from that type of lesson.

I was always baffled by the parents who would complain that their children “felt bad” when learning about slavery. Isn’t that an appropriate emotion? Then your job as a parent is to explain why it’s good that we know about bad things that happened, so we can make sure they never happen again.

“Always, always, always concentration camps are an end run around the existing legal system. These people are getting rounded up because whoever’s in power wants to do something that they can’t do using the letter of the law...”

I like family history. Researching a family line I found a relative in around 1760 in Mass who owned 3 slaves. He gave them to his wife and sons in his will. Like you would pass on a piece of equipment! We need to know our history. Good and bad. It puts things into perspective.

Exactly right, my friend! ✊🏻

If you think that teaching what really happened to Indigenous & Black people in America is an attack on White people—that's a "you" problem.

Our history is here to stay—like it or not.

Having seen several abductions up close, it is really hard to convey how much the thing they’re doing is roaming in military convoys until they see someone who is alone and isn’t white, and then jumping out in large numbers, pulling them into a van, and screeching off, all in 90 seconds or so.

Goddammit.
I am white with fucking vanilla sprinkles. Both sides of my family helped colonize the East Coast and ended up in the Midwest.
Guess what? We are not truly represented unless and until everyone is represented, both in positions of power and in the voting booth. EVERYONE.

Yes that is exactly what is happening.

Hey MAGATS, You've Been
Fooled By Chump,AGAIN.......

Sen. Richard Blumenthal says Republicans could fund TSA, FEMA, and the Coast Guard right now using $170B in the “big beautiful bill.” Instead, he says they’re “inflicting maximum pain” for political talking points while those agencies go unfunded.

What a time to be alive….

In the 13 months since Trump took office, the economy has created a net total of 198,000 jobs compared with 1.4 million created in the last 13 months of the Biden administration. data.bls.gov/pdq/SurveyOu...

Donald Trump is a violent child rapist….

"I" without the "A". Those cells WANT to do that. 😅 (cc: @foone.bsky.social )
