I’m an antiracism educator living on Saint Paul’s West Side. I despise corporate capitalism. I love community building and belonging. Paul Wellstone said it best: “We all do better when we all do better.”
I’m in a quandary. FB has been such a great tool for connecting with people across my 70 year lifespan. But, I despise Zuckerberg. I want to sever that “relationship”. I can’t find that same level of connection on BlueSky. I’m all in on progressive political forums but I miss the friend aspect. So?

Give us your tired, your poor, your huddled masses yearning to breathe free. So 20th century. Now even well resourced white Canadian women are not safe at the border.
I agree wholeheartedly with the sentiment being expressed by citizens and governments around the world to the effect no one should be traveling to the United States at this time.
Under our current government, we are a danger to ourselves and everyone else, and should be avoided.

Oh how I wish more law firms and lawyers shared his commitment to just saying this will not stand.
“Are you worried?” That is always the first question.
“Of course I am worried,” I respond. “The president of the United States considers me an enemy and has promised retribution. I would be an idiot not to be worried. But I am not going to give in. I will continue to fight.”

This is what happens when you keep the non-billionaires poor, sick, and uneducated.
More people waking up to the realization they voted for the devil because they didn't bother to understand the details.
The devil is always in the details.

Erasure is the only tool that white supremacy has.
Imagine calling yourself the master race and have to resort to erasing the achievements of minorities to make yourself feel better.

It’s unreal - the DOD deleted its page for Charles Calvin Rodgers, a Medal of Honor recipient who was wounded three times while defending against three assaults on his base in Vietnam. Now the URL includes “DEI Medal of Honor.” There’s something about Rodgers I don’t even have to tell you

Some are saying Democrats shouldn't attend Donald Trump's State of the Union.
I disagree.
They should attend. And the minute he starts speaking, start getting up, one-by-one, and solemnly leave the chamber.
It will be all anyone talks about the next day. And will drive Donald crazy.

I’m trying to come to terms with the fact that tRump lauded Musk’s maneuvering of voting booths in PA. He blurted this out during his inauguration and yet there seems to be crickets in response. Is anyone following up on this?

Maddow: I think it is a bad mistake to let Joy Reid walk out the door. It is also unnerving to see that on a network where we've got two nonwhite hosts in primetime, both of our nonwhite hosts in primetime are losing their shows, as is Katie Phang on the weekend. I do not defend it.

When a single billionaire can accumulate more money in 10 seconds than their employees make in one year, while workers struggle to meet the basic cost of rent and medicine, then yes, every billionaire really is a policy failure.
