The Trump-Vance Administration getting rid of biodefense personnel is, to state the blindingly obvious, a very bad choice.

Very sad news…

The incredible D’Angelo has died.

A pioneer of the neo-soul movement, he was 51.

His musical legacy continues to have a massive impact today.

This means that his son, Michael, has lost both his mother, Angie Stone, and his father within just a matter of months.

POLITICO: “.. They referred to Black people as monkeys and ‘the watermelon people’ and mused about putting their political opponents in gas chambers. They talked about raping their enemies .. and lauded Republicans who they believed support slavery.

I'm sorry, is the Trump Administration talking to a tech platform?

Is it...requesting content moderation?

Today following outreach from @thejusticedept, Facebook removed a large group page that was being used to dox and target @ICEgov agents in Chicago.
The wave of violence against ICE has been driven by online apps and social media campaigns designed to put ICE officers at risk just for doing their jobs. The Department of Justice will continue engaging tech companies to eliminate platforms where radicals can incite imminent violence against federal law enforcement.

Trump is counting on you thinking that everyone’s on board with his politicization of the military. He’s wrong - most Americans can see right through it.

Read more here:

The Cost of Trump’s Politicization of the Military

They’ve crossed one line after another since January - and we must not become numb to the mounting damage to our military and national security.

You mean like Pete Buttigieg?

First pic is the day he came out before running for reelection, the second is a charity bike ride he did as mayor, third is Pete training for a half Ironman triathlon, and the fourth is from the race itself. 🚴🏼‍♂️

I like Mandami, BTW.

But you asked us to imagine. 😄

The other day, I remember Pete quoted Roberto Unger.

Pete said:

"'Hope is more the consequence of action than its cause.' It's my responsibility to find the actions that will lead to hope."

It's a good question to ask ourselves:
What actions can I take that will lead to hope?
