Pasadena, CA - NO KINGS 3.0. March from Pasadena City College to City Hall. We all need to be out in the streets protesting the horror, death and destruction coming from the White House. More information at fiftyfifty.one

She was told to be quiet!
She was told to know her place!
She was told women didn’t deserve equality!

And yet she never stopped! She kept on fighting, promoting, persevering!

Marian Anderson was barred from singing at Constitution Hall because she was Black.

Eleanor Roosevelt resigned from the Daughters of the American Revolution in protest.

The concert moved to the Lincoln Memorial.
75,000 people listened.

History remembers the voice they tried to silence.

We don't have money for that or for so many other things -- but we do for war, gold drapes, tearing down the east wing, building a ballroom, redecorating the Kennedy Center, buying Kristi Noem luxury airplanes, repainting the Air Force One fleet... I think I've left 100s of things out...

But we don't have enough money for the Pediatric Brain Tumor Consortium?

Here's what I believe: no more business as usual in the Senate. We shouldn't be voting to proceed to normal legislation until Republicans schedule a debate and a vote and on a declaration of war against Iran. Let's see if Trump has the votes to authorize war. I bet he doesn't.

Jane Fonda is more than an icon; she’s a force for justice. From her anti-war activism to the frontlines of the climate crisis w/ Fire Drill Fridays, she uses her platform to demand a livable future. She’s unstoppable in her activism!

I know many Americans are feeling hopeless this upcoming election. But I do urge everyone to go out and vote. I know it feels like a vicious and repetitious cycle but voting does make real change.

Thank you,
Your friendly election poll worker.

You are 100% free to like or dislike whomever you want. To me, saying I don't like politicians is like saying I don't like architects- a sweeping statement that doesn't seem to make sense to me. Maybe it isn't the politicians, but something about the political process as we know it here and now.

Don't ever expect logic from these thugs.

@maddow.bsky.social: “he sees war as something he gets to do on his own say so in a baseball hat from his home. That is exciting. That is controversial. That is all about him and not for nothing, it’s the world’s greatest change of subject.”

Social media created this nonsense idea that not exposing yourself to hatred is isolationist. Choosing to not spend your free time with bigots isn’t living in a bubble. I don’t need to know what’s going on at X. I won’t be smarter or more knowledgeable or empathic by being there. Neither will you.

Agreed! And when is he going to get rid of which Justice? Sonia, watch your back! Or will he make Cruz Chief Justice after he puts out a hit on Roberts?

”I will never forget my experiences from Dnipro. 🇺🇦 needs our help! This winter, perhaps more than ever before. It's -19 °C outside—sirens go off every day. Electricity & heat only work for a few hours a day. Missiles & drones kill civilians anytime & anywhere.”
