RIP to Jesse Jackson. His funeral is today. I wanted to share this clip from his appearance on Sesame Street in 1971. His important words ring just as true today as they did back then.

Barack Obama: "We are living in a time when it can be hard to hope — each day, we wake up to some new assault on our democratic institutions. Another setback to the idea of the rule of law — an offense to common decency — If we don't step up, no one else will"

Mayor Mamdani and a child play with Legos while looking very serious and concentrated. The child is impossibly adorable and wearing tiny blue glasses.
No interruptions, please. We’re building universal child care.
Obama: "We are living in a time where it can be hard to hope. Each day we wake up to some new assault on our democratic institutions. Another setback to the idea of the rule of law ... but this man - Rev. Jesse Jackson - inspires us to take a harder path ... bc if we don't step up, nobody else will"
I am frankly more concerned about the apathy of the American public and even more importantly the lack of leadership in the Democratic Party.
This is not a dress rehearsal. Every single American must speak out against this Facist administration.
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.

I’ve been asked if I would support Sen. Mullin as Noem’s replacement.
The answer is a resounding NO. The rot in DHS is deep, much deeper than any individual.
It’s a question of policy not personnel. The Senate should not consider any DHS Secretary nominee until DHS and ICE are reined in.
🤣🤣🤣
Kristi Noem has done a stunning amount of damage and it’s good she’s gone.
But this doesn’t change the fact that we need a complete overhaul of DHS, impartial investigations into the killings of two American citizens, and information on children that were taken from Minnesota.
BREAKING:
A federal trade-court judge ordered the Trump administration to start refunding the more than $130 billion it collected in the global tariffs invalidated by the Supreme Court last month

Good news!
The Virginia Supreme Court ruled Wednesday, for the second time, that voters can decide whether the state can redraw its congressional map — clearing the way for a referendum that, if successful, could help counter GOP gerrymanders nationwide. www.democracydocket.com/news-alerts/...
JUST IN: A federal judge has barred Gov DeSantis from designating CAIR as a terrorist organization and punish those who associate with the group.

Spanish PM Pedro Sánchez on Iran: “Spain is against this disaster. Because we understand that governments are here to improve people's lives, to provide solutions to problems, not to make people's lives worse.

California is making up to $100,000 of mortgage relief available to every eligible LA Fire survivor.
While the Trump Administration turns its back on these survivors, we're responding directly to what we've been hearing on the ground and will continue to step up.
Our nation is again at war, not because we had to but because the president recklessly chose to.
Now we must recognize who pays the price: not the president and his wealthy allies, but service members and ordinary Americans.
She doesn’t raise her voice!
She raises accountability!
Letitia James walked into rooms full of powerful men who thought they were untouchable and proved they weren’t!

ALL EYES ON TEXAS 👀
After March 3rd, we lock in behind the Democratic nominee, Crockett or Talarico, and drive this thing straight through the general.
Because whether it’s Paxton or Cornyn, the threat is the same. Both are dangerous.
👇👇
I believe the majority of Texas primary voters are not in a “play it safe” mood right now and see through the racist bullshit. They’re looking for someone who will stand up and actually throw punches.
Tomorrow is not just a primary. It is a direction check. 🔥
Jasmine Crockett isn’t mincing words!
Families aren’t enemies!
Seeking safety isn’t a crime!
Masked raids & fear tactics aren’t “law and order”. They’re cruelty dressed as policy!
Justice isn’t terrorizing communities!
Human rights don’t stop at the border!
