"He maintained a tense relationship with the political order... the demands of speaking for the least of us, the disinterested, the damned, the dispossessed, the disrespected... demanded a consistent, prophetic voice, that at no point in time ever sold us out as a people."

"I was in the hole and I thought... my dad is "The Stranger"

He's the one we turn to at our lowest hour... he was a stranger for millions of people

To Howard Thurman, The Stranger was the embodiment of god...
So when the stranger shows up... god is trying to tell you something"

Colorado governor signal he'll commute sentence of election denier. Pressured by President Trump, Gov. Jared Polis said he is considering the release of Tina Peters, the last high-profile 2020 election meddler still imprisoned. His fellow Democrats are outraged.

File this under "Why establishment Dems keep losing."

If you won't act like an opposition party, we'll replace you.

Use Noem's plane to fly detained immigrant families back to their US homes with checks for robust damages in their luggage. Let the kids jump up and down on that bed. Someday let this be the beginning of true restorative justice for these families.

Disability accommodations are a rare thing that actually trickles down. You like curb cutouts? Auto-opening doors? Jar openers? Ramps? Hand rails? YOU’RE WELCOME

Even as an abled person you use disability accommodations every single day.

Supporting accommodations actually helps everyone.

Waiting for the administration to say the spike in gas prices isn't actually a big deal because so many Americans are losing their jobs and won't have to drive to work anymore.

Trump is lifting oil sanctions on Russian while they’re helping Iran target Americans.

Putin definitely has a copy of the Epstein files.

2/ I think the flippancy stems from their own indecency, AND from an unbound cockiness. They don't think they can lose or ever be held accountable. I think they're decidedly wrong. I know they'll try to cheat, and I still think they're wrong. This is all going to be galactically unpopular. END

1/ I've watched administrations handle various wars and military operations, and I can say without question I've never seen an administration show such casual disregard for the danger U.S. troops are facing or the death of U.S. troops. All things Trump are disturbing, but this particularly so.

It’s pathetic that on the same day we learn that Russia is helping Iran target Americans, Trump grants a waiver allowing India to buy Russian oil during the Iran war.

Trump is helping Russia, a country helping Iran kill Americans.

Trump is a massive traitor
