Meiselas: What do you say to people who say while Governor Mills has been a great governor, she’s 77 years old, and we need younger leadership?

Mills: It’s a fair point… But I don’t think I could live with myself if I didn’t do everything I can to reverse what’s going on in Washington

Six people had their visas revoked due to their social media posts.

Six people are being deported because of what they said online.

Six people have had their freedom of speech suspended.

It won’t stop with these six people.

Either we all have freedom of speech or none of us do.

one of my takeaways from this great piece is that weiss just doesn’t…sound like an intelligent person? or at least, not someone who has thought even a little bit about how and why they think the things that they do. www.youtube.com/watch?v=gieT...

Remember when you tried to tell us “the younger generations don’t think that way.” And “the young people will save us.” There are a lot of great, humane, decent, bright young people out there. But there are also a lot of these young people. And they’re not going anywhere.

Brittany Packnett describes how people are slowing being pulled into authoritarianism and why it’s important to resist. We have been warned so many times over the last several months. None of this is normal. Refuse to get in line America‼️

Lauryn Hill just shared a moving tribute to the late D’Angelo:

People need reflection.

I regret not having more time with you. Your undeniable beauty and talent were not of this world, and a presence not of this world needs protection in a world that covets light and the anointing of God. You sir, moved us, stirred us, inspired and even intimidated others to action with your genius. Thank you for being a beacon of light to a generation and beyond who had no
remembrance of the legacy that preceded us. Thank you for charting the course and for making
space during a time when no similar space really existed.

You imaged a unity of strength and sensitivity in Black manhood to a generation that only saw itself as having to be one or the other. It is my earnest prayer that you are in peace, far away from selfishness, fear and/or controlling interests. Far from possessiveness, far from greed, far from manipulation, far from exploitation, far from intentionally designed chaos and that you Brother are in peace, in bliss and in eternal light and fulfillment with our Father in heaven. I Love you and I miss you. May God grant peace and shelter to your family, true friends and genuine appreciators, Brother, King.

I’m starting to think some of these folks aren’t voting on economic anxiety or the price of eggs.

Where are their fathers? Why aren’t they involved with their churches?

Parents of U.S. Marine, Steve Rios, were recently detained by ICE. They were preparing to take Rios and his pregnant sister to breakfast.

His father was deported and the whereabouts of the mother is now unknown. Neither had criminal records.

The criminal is in the Oval Office.

Y'all hate Schumer, but Fetterman voted to let Trump have unlimited war powers.

So, Gaza = A Casino
West Banks = Luxury development

Venezuela, Greenland, you name it, your boy Shitterman voted yes to his Master's Master Plan.

Sen. Padilla's Prop 50 ad is very effective. They used the footage of him being shoved to the ground and cuffed. I swear, my blood pressure goes through the roof each time I see it.

I agree with Kamala Harris position on Israel and Gaza. I am grateful the 88% of Jewish Americans voted for a 2 state solution.

I refuse to give Bibi a pass. He interfered with our politics for years & pulled a Nixon/Reagan w/ hostages. He was racist & undermined Pres Obama & VP Harris.
