Mr. Abrego Garcia was illegally abducted by the Trump Admin and, by their own admission, wrongly deported to El Salvador. He shouldn’t have to spend another second away from his family.
I'm flying to El Salvador tomorrow morning to check on his condition and discuss his return.

The look of a truly Great America:
"Cashier’s fellow soldiers — crusty old Civil War veterans — stepped in to defend him. When he died, they made sure he was buried in uniform with military honors, and his name is engraved on the Vicksburg National Military Park memorial wall."

Transgender soldiers date to the Civil War
Women presenting as men — whether to escape the stifling construct of feminine life or to stay close to husbands or brothers who went to war — have been serving in combat for centuries.

It may not be cool or hip in some circles, but we legitimately do need a massive amount of people to run for office.
Flood the school boards, councils, county seats, state legislatures, Congress, etc.
Big changes at the top happen when the ground shifts at the bottom. And that can start now.

Douglass was an abolitionist, suffragist, orator and author. That’s what we celebrate him. Let’s be clear: This bars celebrating him because he was Black.

How do you approach calls to a representative that you know isn’t going to care? Andy Harris for example will not be swayed by logic, facts, empathy, or morality. He doesn’t care.

How can we save DEI?
You can't defend a policy if you don't have good evidence for what works.
Let's do some social science:
1. Define measurable anti-racism outcomes
2. Measure them
3. Make data public (whenever possible)
4. Focus on policies that make positive differences in the outcomes

Yes, this administration is dangerous and cruel, but they are also shockingly dim and incompetent.
Opportunities are everywhere.
Make everything as hard as possible. Resist every demand. Refuse entry without a warrant. Don’t take the buyout. Their problem solving skills are 📉

I just saw a video on TikTok from a black creator that said instead of totally boycotting Target we need to be focused on how we spend our dollars.
Ex: buy Black brands.
Because those brands have to pay Target back for what they don’t sell. 🤨
That’s a way to look at it.
