I’m tired of the narrative of all politicians being “the same” and all being corrupt. It’s simply not true. There are many wonderful ppl like Melissa who are dedicated and good ppl in office. Lift them up. Support them. RIP Melissa and Mark.
Melissa Hortman was only 55 years old. She had a lot more to do. It is so bitter and so sad that her life was taken - assassinated for fighting for what she believed in.

It will now be up to us to carry on these fights.

LA DODGERS just now:

“This morning, ICE agents came to Dodger Stadium and requested permission to access the parking lots. They were denied entry to the grounds by the organization. Tonight’s game will be played as scheduled.”

Right on, Dodgers!
More of this, please.

Per docs, GHF anticipates $1 BILLION+ from other unnamed "Government Donors."

E. Jean Carroll: This is a man who wears apricot makeup, with his hair twirled around his head like Barbara Stanwyck in Ball of Fire.

I was so close—I heard almost every single thing he said.

The farting—you wanted to know about that?

It was a silent one… sort of.

Enough with criticizing and second guessing the Dems. That's demoralizing and it only helps Trump.

Let's get involved.

Encourage the Dems who are speaking up.

Join a protest.

Write postcards to voters.

Support Dems running in this year's elections, like this one!

Rep. Jasmine Crockett, says it loud and clear.

This is not the apprentice show.

This is supposed to be about the American people and I want to refocus our attention on the American people and stop demonizing every person that ends up in Ice !

The world must see this. The world must act. A father and mother sit in shock beside the ruins of their home — their child is still under the rubble. This is happening right now in Ukraine.

How many more families have to be torn apart like this before the world says: Enough? Please, do something.
