Mother of God.

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.

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

Respect recognizes respect.

Oof

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"

ICE Wants to Buy Warehouses for Mass Detention. Communities Are Fighting Back. People across the political spectrum are realizing these federal detention warehouses will harm their communities.

The overdue firing of Kristi Noem will have no bearing on the continued plans for unwanted warehousing of human beings across the country.
The spotlight should focus on these warehouses (de facto concentration camps) during Markwayne Mullin's confirmation hearing.

he’s asleep

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.

I've got laryngitis so I'm not on TV today. but if I was, I'd remind everybody that mass deportation *remains* family separation, whether Noem or Mullin or anyone else is Trump's DHS Secretary. and that policy has not changed.

Well it ain’t for iconic civil rights leaders:
RIP Jesse Jackson

Meet the new gen
Same as the old gen

Trump violated our Constitution by waging war without Congressional authorization.

Senate Rs had the chance to defend our Constitution. They failed.

They failed to defend our Constitution.
They failed to rein in Trump’s poorly planned and illegally-launched war.
They failed the American people.

transphobes

The Trump regime has abandoned the constitution:

- declared war without Congressional authorization

- ignoring multiple court orders

- impounding Congressional authorized funds

- ignoring the freedom of speech and assembly

It’s a lawless regime that has no legitimacy.

that would make us great

This is the way.

damn straight

💔💔

Such a senator is not worthy to serve. He must resign.

This is insane and dangerous and unamerican.

Trump's treatment of the vulnerable shifted the US Catholic bishops' politics The only possible savior of this relationship is the Democrats' ability to push the bishops back into the Republican camp.

Democrats Can Win Texas Three lessons from a messy, important night in Texas.

"A Democrat hasn’t represented Texas in the Senate for 38 years. A Democrat hasn’t been governor for more than 30.

"But the stars have aligned in a way that gives us a real shot."

May the odds be ever in our favor!
