I wasn't aware of that monument. Thank you for sharing. She's one of my heroes.

Me, too. She's one of my heroes. I teared up when President Biden posthumously awarded her the Presidential Medal of Freedom before he left office.

💙 Good for you. I canned tomatoes today. Got a bumper crop in raised beds here on the far west side of ABQ.

🚨🚨🚨A 15 year old opens the door to the vehicle, but ICE monsters proceed to throw her around like a rag doll — because they can. Notice the police drive away, just out of view of the camera. Uploaded ~ 2 hours ago. 1/2

It's hilarious that the same people who claim that their families never owned slaves and their family came here as immigrants get upset when someone posts the truth about America's racist & violent past.

Why do they agree to erase history they had nothing to do with? 🤔

Americans are struggling with
a government shutdown
high prices
layoffs
a chaotic administration

and Trump is planning to build a triumphal arch and just bailed out Argentina with $20 BILLION DOLLARS.

Press pool: “On Trump’s desk in the Oval Office today was a plan for a triumphal arch on the other side of the river from the Lincoln Memorial”

This is a HUGE story. Why isn’t media reporting on it? FFS

KSlatteryResist @kslatteryresist.bsky.social · 1d

Shortly after Sinaloa Drug Cartel heads entered plea deals in July/August, forfeited $80M, had family placed in protective custody…Trump bombs 1st of several boats in Caribbean. No confirmation who was killed, if drugs were onboard. Is Trump’s “intel” coming from convicted Sinaloa Cartel members?
