This is an inspiration for a really phenomenal piece of writing FROM me.

Not sure when I will get it written and revised and edited well enough to be published but, make no mistake: Barack Obama inspired it and ME!

Bobby's doing better, at home again. His home healthcare starts today & it's pretty expensive, but it helps to keep him out of the hospital & at home with his family.

Let's help Bobby stay a bit more stress free from the extra medical cost he has to cover outside of insurance.

Donate and share!
🙏💙
Bobby is home from the hospital for the first time since October, and we don’t want this to be a short visit home. To keep him there, we need to raise $450 to cover his healthcare worker so he can stay out of the hospital—and we need your support. Chip in $15, $27, $50 — or go rogue with any amount.

There are lessons that Dems can learn from the brilliant performance of Bad Bunny’s 1/2 time show. He was messaging the opposing view of trumps hateful mess about America & immigrants. BB embraced the beauty, love, & culture of the Americas and that together, we can learn and appreciate each other.

Minneapolis residents are facing a growing food crisis. Fear from ICE is keeping families—especially elders, parents, and the homebound from groceries.

I haven’t been on much since my birthday, so I wanted to update you while I can. Physically, I’m improving, a little bit each day. Mentally I’m struggling, but I’ll get through it. My home health care starts back up today, and that will be helpful but expensive. Love and appreciation to you all.

Trump calls Milei "my favorite president." Elon says Argentina is the model for gutting government. What happens there is the beta test for here. Socialize the risk. Privatize the gains. Destroy public capacity. Enrich billionaires. That's the plan. Wake up.

So Trump's $40 billion bought: election interference to install a compliant leader, hedge fund profits for connected insiders, and some extraction contracts for a few corporations. What did regular Americans get? The bill. And the geopolitical blowback when this blows up.

Let's be clear about what just happened. Your tax dollars backstopped $40 billion in loans and currency swaps. If Argentina defaults, you eat the loss. But Citrone already cashed out with 20% profits. You took the risk. He took the reward. Socialism for the rich.

Here's what Trump said out loud at the White House: "If he loses, we are not going to be generous with Argentina. If he doesn't win, we're gone." That's your president threatening to crash a foreign economy unless voters pick his favorite candidate. With your money. #USDemocracy

Crockett: "The US is falling apart, partially bc he's allowing for killings in the street, but also bc we have a 34 count convicted felon being shielded from any type of accountability as it relates to a child sex trafficking ring. I don't understand why we're pretending any of this is normal."

“We rely on Hispanic labor,” said Chris Gross, a second-generation farmer who grows sweet corn seed and mint in Wilder. She added, “Nobody thought something like this could happen here.”

“91 percent of voters in the precinct that includes Wilder backed President Trump in 2024.”

Bad Bunny’s performance began in the plantation, featured broken electric poles, and ended by centering a hemispheric understanding of “América”—among many other things—and some Anglo journalists are like “his performance wasn’t political.”

This is why we need to be telling our stories.

A must-read article. I don't know how anyone could have missed the ten selected for discussion in this piece. I recall each episode clearly. I also am aware of times when he spoke to members of the black community with weird commentary ranging from the condescending to the derisive.
Sen. Tim Scott denounced the Obamas-as-apes video as "the most racist thing I’ve seen out of this White House.”

Well, Joseph Ramos compiled all the rest for us:
