Yeah, shoutout to Carr for making Talarico a national figure.
This is the interview Donald Trump didn’t want you to see.
His FCC refused to air my interview with Stephen Colbert.
Trump is worried we’re about to flip Texas.

We say goodbye to a man who refused to accept the world as it was.
Jesse Jackson didn’t just march in history he helped write it. He stood in the long shadow of Martin Luther King Jr. and refused to let that dream fade when the cameras left and the crowds went home.

I am gonna go out on a limb and say that a Jersey dude so horrified that he went to his first protest and is trying not to cry on camera has a pretty good chance of staying radicalized. And that while Bluesky loves to pick apart things like this, this kinda video moves the needle for OTHER dudes.
Yesterday morning kids were sent running from their bus stop in panic because ICE showed up. This guy at today’s ICE Out of Lindenwold protest is a must watch 😭. @maddow.bsky.social
