Robert Smalls spent years learning the confederate signals while enslaved in Charleston.

In 1862 he seized a warship as they slept. He sailed 16 people to freedom.

He won 5 terms in congress & bought the mansion he was enslaved in.

Heroes and history should be remembered. 🥳

Huge protest at Tesla in San Francisco. And chef’s kiss that it’s right on a Muni line, since Elon hates transit so much. Elon is poison. DOGE is poison.

Blumenthal: "The break down in security is so jaw-dropping, but equally so the reaction that, 'well, nothing to be worried about here.' It's a little bit like saying the drunk driver was never at risk because he made it home okay, so nothing to see here."

They are trying to erase our history. Their daily assault upon our country feels overwhelming. We’re being attacked by a domestic enemy. It’s hard to know how to combat against this threat. Don’t be overwhelmed. Make the calls, go to the town halls, the walks, the demonstrations.

Don't be afraid to call things by what they are. MAGA is a terrorist organization, ICE is a secret police force conducting Ethnic Cleansing, Elon Musk is an oligarch, and Trump is a foreign backed coup d'état figurehead. This is not an administration, this is a regime, and your country is occupied.

“Recessions aren’t detox cleanses; they don’t flush out inefficiencies and leave you leaner and stronger. They are periods of mass job losses, closed businesses and financial ruin that leave lasting scars on families, workers and entire communities.”

Freedom Writers Collaborative @fwcollaborative.bsky.social · Mar 18

Recessions don’t build golden ages — they destroy lives and futures

The Great Recession and the Covid-19 pandemic showed us that economic calamity doesn't come up with any upside for millions of Americans.

COLBERT, on Rep. Al Green’s removal:

“Some people questioned why so much muscle was needed to remove an old man with a cane. But it turns out it was for a serious reason. When security searched him, they found that he smuggled in a spine."

Leaders of nations across the globe like, respect, and get along with Zelensky. He has not had meetings with any of them that were anything other than cordial and respectful from both sides. Only one was hostile, disrespectful, obnoxious, nasty, and vicious - Donald Trump.

My father and father-in-law sacrificed years and blood in WW2. They would be appalled. I’m still here and will do whatever I can to try to save this country from the evil T and V. It’s the least I can do in their memories.
