Every act of resistance counts. History tells us that. Every principled action of dissent, no matter how small or large, can and will make a difference.

Yeah, and more than 400,000 America died fighting the fascists. Here we are again.

Trust is a precious value that the MAGA cult knows nothing about. A soldier’s mission is to protect the public and its citizens, not police them. Thank you General Enyart for speaking common sense.

Talarico: if you read the new testament, Jesus doesn't spend most of his time preaching or teaching or even praying. He spends most of his time healing the sick.

Right now, we have politicians in congress with Christ follower in their Twitter bio, but they are kicking the sick off their health care

I absolutely adored Jane Goodall for reasons like this one. She was a supernova ✨ — a rare shining star among our species.

Jane Goodall: “You must vote for the person, the candidate who you feel has a better chance of promoting protection for our planet.”

He says he didn’t see “it.” “It” was the most powerful person on the planet talking to ALL the top generals. That’s dereliction of duty right there for the Speaker of the People’s House.

I call foul on the AP. The way out is the f-ing MAGAts ensuring health care and tax credits for the most vulnerable in our society and ensuring Congressional appropriations are not withdrawn from their dictator. Do not give in to tyrants.

…those emails of course don’t say that the Dems are fighting to protect Medicaid and tax credits for the most vulnerable…

Not a fan of Pete or his humor. More so now. Human rights matter.

Standing proud & fearless with my #VoteVets & #CommonDefense brothers and sisters in calling out today’s charade. Any military officer and NCO, serving or retired, has an obligation to speak out. I also call out the #VFW, #AMLegion, #DAV for staying silent. Silence is complicity.

OMG this William G. Young opinion that just dropped (12:30pm) in AAUP v. Rubio.
It begins with a postcard sent to Chambers and Young's reply

card: "Trump has pardons and tanks, what do you have?"

Breaking! Court rules for unions and academic associations in AAUP vs. Rubio, affirming that non-citizens have first amendment rights. This case was brought by
@knightcolumbia.org

This case -– perhaps the most important ever to fall within
the jurisdiction of this district court –- squarely presents the
issue whether non-citizens lawfully present here in United
States actually have the same free speech rights as the rest of
us. The Court answers this Constitutional question
unequivocally “yes, they do.” “No law” means “no law.”

Book bans are proliferating. Our community held a book fair to support the League of Women Voters. At the fair’s entrance was a large section of banned, restricted, or challenged books. I was able to purchase one of my favorite Margaret Atwood books and proclaim “Let Freedom Ring.”
