Special for my friends in the media!

Before you use numbers from a new DHS “economic impact analysis” in reporting on a new Trump prison camp, please consider that these reports appear to be (to use a technical term) horseshit.

Not only is he so ugly my hair hurts, he is total scum.

His run for president transformed our party. I was sitting in the front row when he came and plopped right down in our row two days of the convention. No pretense. No ego. Just love. I’ll never forget that.

Rev. Jesse Jackson changed the course of history. His passing during the 100th celebration of Black History Month is as sad as it is profound.

He reminded little Black boys like me that “I am somebody.”

Civil rights leader Jesse Jackson has passed away at the age of 84. My thoughts are with his family.

I wanted to share this clip from his appearance on Sesame Street in 1971. His important words ring just as true today as they did back then.
