The President is lying to the public:
1) For the past century, the federal government has been responsible for the Potomac Interceptor – not Maryland. The sewage pipe is on federal land.

Is RFK going to held accountable if people are harmed from his quack ideas?

I’m old. Needed plot twist, enemies-to-lovers and then woman decides guy is an arrogant asshole and dumps him. She then decides to forget about the love fantasy until she discovers who she really is and her values. She also buys a really good sex toy to help her thru dry spells and gets a dog

“I am somebody!” A message that still resonates today, especially with the rise of white, Christian nationalism. May Reverend Jackson rest in peace and power.
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.

History teaches us that the greatest harms often begin with the quiet acceptance of the unacceptable. I have seen where that road leads, and I will not walk it again without resistance.

Nothing anyone can say is going to convince MAGAs out of the cult. We don’t insult them to change them, we insult them in well deserved disparagement. Lecturing those of us who do so is not going to change us.
I don’t know who needs to hear this, but insulting potential voters isn’t going to win anybody over. Unless you care more about being right on the internet, than you actually do about winning elections.

Susan B. Anthony was born #OTD in 1820.
She dedicated her life to women's #suffrage, and campaigned for the abolition of slavery, women's property rights, and more: susanbanthonyhouse.org/her-story/bi...
Active until she died in 1906. She never got to vote in her lifetime (well, legally that is).

Not sure who needs to hear this but the voter fraud rate is a mere 0.000003%. Anyone telling you otherwise is making shit up so they can take away your right to vote.
