I remember going to Pres. Obama’s inauguration in 2009 and the long, walk to the Capitol from the train station. It was so many people we walked like a pack of sardines but worth every moment. I hope to have this feeling again. 😭 #PresidentsDay #SheShed #Pinks

@logicallyjc.bsky.social, thank you for reminding us of the absolutely fucked up priorities of our government. Not only is the treatment of migrant children horrendous but the treatment of all migrants is abhorrent. American must do better.

Reminder that Paramount Skydance needs approval from Trump's minions to buy Warner Bros.

Yesterday, its subsidiary CBS banned Stephen Colbert from airing an interview with TX Democrat James Talarico.

Larry Ellison is sucking up to Trump by turning his media empire into MAGA propaganda.

Carter G. Woodson knew that when you control knowledge, you control people. He refused to let our history be erased.

Historian and educator known as the “Father of Black History” who fought to place Black history at the center of the American story.

Black History. Always. 🖤

1) Imagine you get a call that sounds exactly like your boss. Same voice. Same tone. They say, “I need you to send money right now.” A year ago, that sounded like a scam. Now, with AI voice tools, it can sound real enough that people fall for it. #Voices4Victory #DV1 #USDemocracy #ProudBlue

A two month old-detained in the ICE concentration camp at Dilley-was rushed to the hospital this weekend

The boy’s extreme youth made him particularly vulnerable in a prison setting

Worse, they knew he was sick-and couldn’t care for him-because the facility didn’t even have a doctor
