As a retired NEA member & local President, I am apalled & disgusted. The NEA sent roughly 3 million members an email containing a map that erased Israel “completely” & labeled it as Palestine. All NEA members deserve an apology. NEA should do its homework—Jews were the indigenous people of Israel.

Fighting back against fascism in my own way this morning by writing postcards to help inform Virginia voters. If we each did one small thing — Imagine how they could all add up to make bigger changes. #democracy #firstamendment

62 years ago, Dr. King led the March on Washington with giants like John Lewis, Mahalia Jackson, A. Philip Randolph, and so many others.

If you’ve ever wondered what you’d be doing during the Civil Rights Movement, this is your test. (1/2)

Reuters: U.S. JUDGE TEMPORARILY BARS TRUMP FROM DEPLOYING CALIFORNIA NATIONAL GUARD IN LOS ANGELES - COURT RULING

JUST IN: Judge Charles Breyer finds that President Trump exceeded the scope of his authority and violated the 10th Amendment by federalizing the California National Guard and orders him to return control to Governor Newsom. storage.courtlistener.com/recap/gov.us...

On June 6, 2025, the federal government initiated immigration raids across the City of Los Angeles. Protests swiftly followed, and some individuals involved in those protests were unruly and even violent. State and local law enforcement responded. The following day, President Trump ordered that members of the California National Guard be federalized, and thereupon assumed control of those forces.
At this early stage of the proceedings, the Court must determine whether the President followed the congressionally mandated procedure for his actions. He did not.
His actions were illegal-both exceeding the scope of his statutory authority and violating the Tenth Amendment to the United States Constitution. He must therefore return control of the California National Guard to the Governor of the State of California forthwith.

A very powerful speech from Gov Newsom 👏

Newsom: Trump, he's not opposed to lawlessness and violence as long as it serves him. What more evidence do we need than January 6th?

Nothing better on a rainy Tuesday in March, than getting tickets to see one of your favorite bands. Can’t wait for August, @theheadandtheheart.bsky.social

Yesterday’s “Mean Girls” re-enactment in the Oval Office by two incredibly small-minded bullies is completely unacceptable. It’s time for Americans and the rest of the world to stand up to them. #ukraine
