Former President Joe Biden praising both Barack Obama and Jesse Jackson gives me life.

I miss Joe.

People love to say Obama wasn’t perfect. No shit. No one is. I doubt I’m the only one who would instantly take β€œdoing the best they can” over β€œthe abominable worst they want” though. Watching this speech made my heart ache. It makes me angry, it radicalizes me. I just wish I was bold enough to act.

When Jesse Jackson was born, he couldn't register to vote. When Jesse Jackson died, he was eulogized by a Black president & vice president. The man kept hope alive even in death.

Hear his words. Heal your heart. President Obama is now one of usβ€”still a leader, still sustaining us. NITE & bless you.

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"

Kennedy: "I was stunned when Noem answered categorically that the president approved every single bit of it. Later that day, I got a call from President Trump. He was mad as a mamma wasp ... she was dead as fried chicken."

This is a broad statement but it seems half the people commenting here did not watch the full service today and don’t understand the culture that was celebrated and the other half don’t seem to realize that every President has supported Israel since Truman.

Hegseth: "The only ones who need to be worried right now are Iranians who think they're going to live"

The killing of Iranian children during an illegal war is an impeachable offense (not to mention a grave crime) and Congress should really act like it.

15 Republicans in the Senate could end this nightmare before it somehow gets even worse.

I want to be crystal clear…I’m not rooting for πŸ‡ΊπŸ‡Έ to lose…I’m rooting for Trump to lose

I’m not β€œanti-American” I’m anti-Trump

There IS a difference between the two

And if 🫡🏾 whoever 🫡🏾 are can’t see the difference… 🫡🏾 are part of the problem

Why are Black women continuing to bear the brunt of unemployment? Three words: #TheDoubleTax.

What Dr. Valerie Wilson has shown is that the group experiencing joblessness is COLLEGE-EDUCATED Black women. Let that sink in. #jobsreport #jobsday

Black women suffered large employment losses in 2025β€”particularly among college graduates and public-sector workers The 2025 labor market can best be characterized as faltering. The national unemployment rate climbed to its highest point in four years, job growth slowed dramatically, and federal employment fell by ...

While Black women's labor force participation is up (the share of Black women looking for jobs or working), the rising unemployment rate continues to be a concerning trend.

The U.S. lost 92,000 jobs in February, the Labor Department said Friday, missing expectations.
That was short of January's gain of 126,000 jobs, and worse than the gain of 50,000 jobs that economists polled by The Wall Street Journal had expected to see.
