Weak sauce Mr. President.

Paul Robeson was an extraordinary man. More and more, history’s heroes are stepping out of the shadows to remind us what came before and how they responded. We need more public figures with their strength, courage and commitment.

ICE is too dangerous to be left unaccountable.
Violence & abuse against Americans is wrong.

If you see an incident occurring, get out your cellphone. Document it. Send it to your Congressperson and the press. Do it anonymously if you need to. #BeTheChange

Make your voices heard…or at a minimum, annoy the bad guys.

Me too. She was one of those rare individuals that could move hearts and minds with her dignity, kindness and integrity.

Here’s my idea.
When Trump targets a city and calls it “war ravaged”, “crime ridden”, “people can’t walk the streets”…the protest should be THOUSANDS OF PEOPLE PICNICKING in parks with their families, strolling down the streets with grandma and grandpa, eating ice cream…

Terry D @terrydresbach.bsky.social · 10d

"I spoke to the governor, she was very nice," Trump said. "But I said, 'Well wait a minute, am I watching things on television that are different from what's happening? My people tell me different.' They are literally attacking and there are fires all over the place...it looks like terrible."

More than 1800 detainees are missing after the closure of Alligator Alcatraz. Their families and lawyers can’t find them and they’ve vanished from the ICE database. Feels like this should be a much bigger story www.miamiherald.com/news/local/i...

Hundreds of Alligator Alcatraz detainees drop off the grid after leaving site

As of the end of August, the whereabouts of two-thirds of more than 1,800 men detained at Alligator Alcatraz during the month of July could not be determined by the Miami Herald.

I know it was important. But I also know how close to the edge I am; mom dying just a few weeks ago, my dad in free fall, grandson recovering from brain surgery, best friend just started chemo & it looks like the “cure” might kill her… I’m feeling scarily close to a breakdown.

Fox News host literally advocated for murdering homeless people on air, on the most watched television network.

But Jimmy Kimmel......

The suspension of Kimmel and the anti First Amendment campaign of which it is part is one of the most disgusting and dangerous developments in modern US history. What is happening makes McCarthyism look like a small scale dress rehearsal. Orbanism too. This is full fledged fascism.

Jennifer Van Goethem @jennvg.bsky.social · 21d

He didn't criticize Kirk. He criticized Vance, maga and Trump. That's the real offense.

Parker Molloy @parkermolloy.com · 21d

This is all he said?! This is why ABC (in response to threats from Trump's FCC) is taking Kimmel off the air?!

Fellow Dems, higher prices/inflation/tariffs are the most important basket of issues to voters and the place where Trump performs the worst. Opposing them simply must become central to everything we do. A memo to the family 👇
