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.

Rev. Jesse Jackson dedicated his life to expanding who gets to belong in American democracy.

From civil rights to economic justice, he challenged power and widened the path for Black Americans. May we honor his legacy not just with words, but by continuing the work. www.nbcnews.com/news/obituar...
Rev. Jesse Jackson, a civil rights icon, dies at 84
“Our father was a servant leader — not only to our family, but to the oppressed, the voiceless, and the overlooked around the world,” the Jackson family said in a statement Tuesday.

America has lost a titan in the struggle for civil rights and racial justice. From his days at the side of Dr. King, to his moral leadership in this century, Rev. Jesse Jackson, Sr. spent his life pushing our nation closer to its own ideal.

Godspeed Mr Jackson. Yours is a voice that will not soon be replaced.

Anyone who even questioned voting for Kamala Harris because of Gaza, I don’t want to know you, I don’t want you to follow me, I don’t wanna talk to you.

I guess they don't announce things like this lightly, joint statement from

British Chief of the Defence Staff - Air Chief Marshal Sir Richard Knighton

and German Chief of Defence - General Carsten Breuer
Joint article from the British and German Chiefs of Defence

"As military leaders, we see every day how Russia’s military posture has shifted decisively westward. In ways that could heighten the risk of conflict with Nato countries. This is a reality we must prepare for; we cannot be complacent."
As defence chiefs, we warn you today about Russia, and say this rearmament is not warmongering | Richard Knighton and Carsten Breuer
Our security is more uncertain than in decades. But by working together, and by showing strength, Britain, Germany and the rest of Europe can preserve peace, say defence chiefs Richard Knighton and Ca...

Highly underappreciated in their time. True Canadian band. Incredibly influential song.

I will say that I am skeptical of the sincerity of a person who in the Year of Our Lord 2026 is spending their presumably limited mental energy inventing scenarios where actually it’s Good and Principled that they don’t vote against fascism and also it’s Not Their Fault

The NORMS are that the incoming administration is required to sign the ethics pledges, yet they are refusing.

Spare us with "the norms are being shattered" horse puckey.

The incoming president is a convicted felon.

He will pardon himself and go after those who followed the rule of law.

Indeed.

Many young voters forget that progressive politics isn’t just about ideals that must be upheld by everyone or else the world must burn.

It’s about the rational deliberate steps to get to those ideals.

And sometimes the most rational step is simply to keep someone worse from power.

I mean you would sooner shift the Overton window by decades than vote for someone that doesn't perfectly align with your ideals, who's actually the one sabotaging here?

"Fuck Trump and the people who voted for him"

Sure, but also fuck the left who spent months calling black Americans genociders for wanting to protect their own existence by support Kamala Harris. Ensuring that Trump would win and unleash ICE on 5 year olds.

Same fucking brainrot.

Using "You're nothing but a hasbarah bot" as a social media rebuttal = "no,I don't have the intellectual honesty or maturity to address the legitimate points regarding the nuances of the Middle East dilemma which you raise."

And yes you can be a progressive and still believe Jews have a legal,UN granted right to a self determined state.

the thing that gets me about the antivoting leftists is that they don't just want to not vote. they want to not vote and have all the rest of us admit how cool and good it is. a participation trophy for laziness

Calling for dead Jews or supporting those who do isn't rejecting genocide. It's encouraging it.

Yes, you go out of your way to make sure everyone knows "your view".
ok? but it is ai you can give more context but it’s still ai generated regardless and that’s the problem from my view

One of the 80M or so eligible US voters who decided the democracy they reap the benefits of wasn't worthy of their vote to preserve it.
