Dick Gregory was born on this day in 1932 in St. Louis. A pioneering comedian and fearless civil rights activist, Gregory used his platform and trademark satirical style to expose and fight against racial injustice and other social issues in the U.S. and abroad. /1

MSM when it comes to Trump:

"They have to think happy thoughts and say happy things because once displeased, the monster can wish them into a cornfield or change them into a grotesque, walking horror."~

As a suburbanite living a bit north of Seattle, I concur! Stay away from Seattle and the good people who live here. We don’t want you. We don’t need you. We don’t like you because you’re monsters.

Trump runs on Muslim hate but for enough of that sweet Muslim money he’ll sell out our country and give them a military base in America.

I’m noticing a pattern here.
Odd how the orange and all his appointments as well as the other guardians of the pedo never seem to know ANY of the top stories.
They know nothing about what’s going on in America. 🧵

Jim Jordan after he's played clips from videos of ICE brutalizing people, including American citizens: "I don't know the specifics of those examples you gave. What I do know is these ICE agents are under tremendous pressure ... I think they're doing a good job."

AG Ken Paxton announces undercover investigations of “leftist terror cells”

Paxton cited the recent attack on a Dallas immigration field office, though the shooter’s political affiliation was unclear and there was no evidence he was linked to organized “cells.”

This thoughtful post says so much. Radical optimism will be the thing that saves us. "The stubborn, rigorous work of believing in our better Angels, then proving it."

This guy's a great follow, especially if you find yourself wallowing in the daily torment from the white house. There is still hope.

Clark Kent @clarkfromearthx.bsky.social · 5d

I've seen worlds succumb to the whisper: "Why bother?" That radical nihilism is a poison. It paves the way for strongmen.

My mission is radical optimism. Not naivety. The stubborn, rigorous work of believing in our better angels, then proving it.
