Books are my drug. Libraries are my church. Gardener. Retired RN. Not a good corporate fit. Building community makes us stronger. Don’t give up hope.

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

Why is it that our ideal fictional characters uphold their commitment to principles so steadfastly, yet our actual leaders so rarely do?

Is it particularly difficult? I don’t think so.

Are our leaders inept or stupid? I don’t believe that either.

They’re just cowards. Morally-weak cowards. 🤷‍♂️

It may be tempting to give in to despair

To cynicism

To put our heads down

Just try to wait out the storm

We cannot do that

We will not do that

This is our time

Screenshot of an X post by Acyn quoting Press Secretary Karoline Leavitt saying the president had a “feeling, again, based on fact,” that Iran was going to strike the United States. Below is a TV still of Leavitt speaking at a White House press briefing podium, with a news banner reading “BREAKING NEWS.”

We bombed a girls’ school and killed 175 kids based on his feelings?!

DHS nominee Markwayne Mullin is one of the most active stock-traders in the Senate — and violated the STOCK Act against insider trading as recently as last August.

He currently holds stock in L3Harris, which has millions in contracts with ICE and FEMA.

The grift continues.

We desperately need to grow independent media as fast as we can. You can start by signing up for Democracy Docket. I started it 6 years ago to be unapologetic pro-democracy. No corporate backers. It will never bow down or obey.

Sign up now to help it meet this moment. bit.ly/4qmEiFz

All of our living presidents who still have a sense of decency gathered to honor Rev. Jesse Jackson.

Respect recognizes respect.

We can throw another $500,000,000,000 at the Pentagon this year and spend $1,000,000,000/day on a wholly useless war, but we can't afford to hire doctors and nurses to take care of our veterans? The United States is such an irresponsible, messed up country right now.

Periodic reminder that ICE does not just track and watch immigrants. They are collecting and storing information on us all.

Most of the media is demanding that everybody supports the war effort. Well, sod that. This is an illegal conflict, launched by a decrepit American to distract from his domestic problems, which has already killed hundreds of women and children. I didn’t back the Iraq war in 2003. Nor this one!

Their guy said he'd pardon the J6 insurrectionists--and then shockingly did it.

I haven't heard any potential Democratic candidate promise to pardon everybody arrested for protesting ICE.

That'd go a long way toward showing me they're opposition and not just controlled.

The Department of Justice has sued 30 states and DC for access to their unreacted sensitive voter data. My law firm is fighting them in all 30 cases.

We are dedicating so many resources because these are the most important legal fights and the future of free and fair elections is at stake.

You guys ever think about how, if Al Gore had been president on 9/11, we might be energy independent now? I wish I didn’t.

Withheld Jeffrey Epstein files with accusations against Trump released by justice department The Department of Justice said the released files had been "incorrectly coded as duplicative" and inadvertently not published.

Donald J Trump is back in the Epstein file records. Pam Bondi tried her best to delete and remove it permanently, even 1000 Iran war would not help in getting away from criminal records. 👇

You know what the public is hungry for? Something that doesn’t involve murder and killing guns. It’s almost impossible to find a good show that doesn’t involve gratuitous violence, despite how popular shows like are Ted Lasso and Schitts Creek have been.

Today's abysmal jobs report is a reminder that tax cuts for corporations and the rich don’t create jobs or grow the economy.

What's required is investment in working people — and better wages.

When workers have money to spend, the economy grows and businesses create more jobs.

Remember this.

You know, State Department procedure is to help people leave _before_ hostilities begin. Trump/Rubio must have deliberately countermanded procedures, intentionally leaving Americans stranded. IOW it wasn't merely their incompetence but rather an actual decision.

Investigators now say the U.S. likely bombed a girls’ school in Iran, killing over 160 people, mostly children. If confirmed, it would rank among the worst civilian massacres of America’s Middle East wars.

ICE detains reporter Estefany Rodríguez in Nashville - Nashville Banner Reporter Estefany Rodríguez, detained by ICE with no arrest warrant, may face deportation. Her attorneys seek immediate review of the legality of her case.

ICE has arrested and detained a Nashville journalist who reported stories critical of ICE. She’s married to a U.S. citizen and has been seeking asylum here after fleeing death threats in Colombia because of her journalism there.

They’ve already sent her to Louisiana.

ICE is STILL in Minnesota and STILL terrorizing communities. Reporters that say otherwise are either uninformed (which....) or lazy (which... ) or just repeating regime lies (which... is also extremely bad).

People are still missing, people are and will be traumatized, businesses demolished...

Breaking news; New evidence shows that it was a USA bomb that blew up the school with upto 200 little girls. Motive not known yet. In Iran some people are saying the Epstein Class hates little girls they are either sexually abuses or killed.

She just got moved to another position in this corrupt administration and is being replaced by an equally awful person.
Wake me up when anyone in this horrific party actually pays some consequences.
