Reverend Jesse Jackson called on each of us to be heralds of change, to be messengers of hope; to step forward and say β€œSend 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.

New files released detail a woman met with the FBI at least four times to allege she had survived being sexually abused by Jeffrey Epstein and Donald Trump when she was a child.
Nothing happened.

It’s been such a meaningful Spring Festival this year - I am missing my friends and family in China so much, while at the same time reveling in the amazing community I have found here in Lansing.

Daily struggling with the cognitive dissonance of living through the stupidest timeline.

β€œEvery gun that is made, every warship launched, every rocket fired signifies, in the final sense, a theft from those who hunger and are not fed, those who are cold and are not clothed...This is not a way of life...it is humanity hanging from a cross of iron.”

-Dwight Eisenhower 1953

NOEM: Our federal detention centers are held to the highest standards in comparison to other detaining facilities

McBATH: Did you just hear me? He has to crawl through mold and feces and bodily fluids just to take a shower. This is absolute lunacy and you know it.

Screenshot of an X post by Senator Tom Cotton saying Iran has been an imminent threat to the United States for 47 years and that the president was right to act. Below is a Fox News segment with Cotton speaking while footage labeled β€œU.S. Central Command – Unclassified” shows a strike.

β€œImminent.” You keep using that word. I do not think it means what you think it means.

It hurts to imagine what our democracy would be like without all the voter suppression, and if it didn’t take 67 Californians to equal the senate voting power of 1 Wyomian, and if we didn’t have billions of dark money pouring into the propaganda hellscape, and if we had no gerrymandering. Sad.

Even if Trump gave us universal healthcare, taxed billionaires, lowered costs, raised federal minimum wage, focused on renewable energy, education, infrastructure, wrote me a $10K check and ended every war on the planet-I’d still want that POS in prison because he raped little kids.

"Resist, Rebel, Rebuild" was Daredevil's cry after a criminal gained Executive power in his city.

No resemblance to real life at all.

They say 'the machines of the future' will be as smart as people... OK, but WHICH people? Because it kinda matters quite a bit.

Chronic ocean heating fuels β€˜staggering’ loss of marine life, study finds Fish levels fall by 7.2% with as little as 0.1C of warming per decade, northern hemisphere research shows

Rising ocean temps blamed for massive die-off of marine life. "Researchers examined the year-to-year change of 33,000 [fish] populations in the northern hemisphere.... They found the drop in biomass from chronic heating to be as high as 19.8% in a single year." www.theguardian.com/environment/...

Casseroles Dave, just make casseroles. You put it all in one pan and pop it in the oven and there’s a timer.

so great to live in a time when Republicans would rather allow a new and illegal war because they’re embarrassed to admit their President is a paedophile

A) they get to control the narrative

Netflix Backs Out of Bid for Warner Bros., Paving Way for an Ellison Takeover

The richest man owns X.

The second and third richest men control Google.

The fourth richest man owns Facebook, Instagram, and WhatsApp.

The fifth richest man owns The Washington Post.

And now the sixth richest could soon take over both Paramount and Warner Bros.

See the problem here?

How Brothel Workers in Nevada Just Made Labor History The courtesans at Sheri’s Ranch were staring down a horrifying new contract. So they did what workers everywhere do: They got organized.

When faced with a shockingly exploitative new employment contract that would’ve forced them to sign away their IP, their likeness rights, and their power of attorney, Jupiter Jetson and her coworkers at Sheri’s fought backβ€”fast.

They organized a union in SIX DAYS. www.thenation.com/article/econ...

I need to rant about something this morning.
I really am getting irritated by resistance accounts that, while otherwise approaching our problem correctly, keep telling us voting won't matter and the election won't be free and fair. Not only is that not helpful, it's actually harmful...
