Immigrants ‘plucked out of line’ at citizenship ceremony at Faneuil Hall “the cradle of liberty”.

If you ever claimed you want immigrants to do it the right way, this should outrage you. On the other hand, If you think this was okay, you need to come to terms with your white nationalist views.

I settled on a clip from the (incredible) doc Sly Lives! (watch it now on Hulu if you haven't.) I think it's the most transparent commentary I ever heard from D'Angelo; it's about Sly, but it's really about him.

My plan was to grab a whole different clip, but this one felt right.

They're trying to prevent the student newspaper from printing news, period. Not just a particular story.

"The Media School directed us to print no news in the paper... nothing but information about homecoming — no other news at all, and particularly no traditional front page news coverage."
Indiana University has fired the staff director of the student newspaper, after disputes in which university leadership tried to pressure him to prevent students from publishing news.

The idea that catering to the fears and prejudices of largely imaginary swing voters matters more than addressing the needs and desires of MILLIONS of increasingly disillusioned, active progressive and leftist voters is so strategically untenable it almost makes me cry.

Now is a good time to call your members of Congress & tell them the National Tsunami Hazard Mitigation Program (under NOAA) needs to be funded. Without it, communities will face extreme funding cuts, have their ability to prepare for events like this one (and much worse) deeply affected.

The media outlet that asks you to pay $25/month doesn't know if the president can take away an American's citizenship and has to call another person to figure it out
President Trump said on Saturday he was considering revoking Rosie O’Donnell’s U.S. citizenship. Trump has feuded with the comedian and actress since before he became president. Experts said the president does not have the power to take away the citizenship of a U.S.-born citizen.

Like the saying goes:

"Disability is the Only minority anyone can join at any time, and the only one everyone *will* join if they're lucky enough to live that long"
If we are not disabled, we are temporarily able-bodied.
Disability protections protect all of us.
There are many veterans with disabilities. They are included in DEI.
