On this anniversary of the Montgomery Boat Brawl, I pray the folding chair of justice lands a blow for freedom on every white head in need of it-in Jesus name!

very valid comparisons

i see a lot of folks not grasping how much quiet/alone/thinking time creative work takes

and that we can be washing dishes or something and suddenly an idea/solution/path forward will reveal itself.

I introduced a motion to subpoena the Epstein files. We got the votes.

Today, we got the subpoena.

The DOJ has 2 weeks to release the Epstein files to the Oversight Committee. Justice must apply to everyone, no matter how rich, powerful, or well-connected they are.

This is tied up in the idea that in the United States there are no poor people, there are just temporarily embarrassed millionaires (to quote Steinbeck). The right in the US has done very well in selling the myth of the American Dream, and mostly to the detriment of those dreaming of it.

These are the victim impact statements submitted at Ghislaine Maxwell's sentencing.

It's the official DOJ document.

The number of people openly embracing "we should make organ donation opt-out instead of opt-in" really doesn't set a great precedent for the already faltering struggle for bodily autonomy.

Yeah I have similar credentials and the biggest damage corporal punishment to me was to make me lose some respect for my parents and experience shame for things that had nothing to do with morality. The damage doesn’t always manifest in the resumΓ©

Dear Dems:

Are you paying attention? Are you seeing the uptick in activity & energy because someone is FINALLY fighting back??

You want campaign donations? FIGHT!

You want volunteers? FIGHT!

You want young people to show enthusiasm?

Hi, former Foreign Service Officer here

The Secretary of State might be interested to learn that visa requirements and terms are generally reciprocal. We do it to them, they do it to us.

OLIVER: "Gaza is starving is a sentence that's objectively true, but it's also slightly misleading because it's too passive β€” Gaza is being starved by Israel."

One of the most effective misinformation tactics antivaxxers use is to quote legitimate news sources out of context in order to convey a narrative.

Studies suggest that news editors often contribute to this problem by publishing clickbait headlines that are easily weaponized by antivaxxers.

Planned Parenthood is closing their last 2 clinics in Louisiana -- one in New Orleans and one in Baton Rouge. Over 10,000 Louisianans get healthcare at PP each year. Now, they're all out of luck, thanks to all the funding cuts and costs of operations heaped on PP due to the LA GOP.

Has JD Vance achieved anything as VP in six months? Because we learned last election about high expectations for those in that critical position to show solid accomplishments.

Texas is changing. POC are driving the state’s explosive growthβ€”so Republicans are rigging the maps to lock in power and erase voices. It’s cheating.

Texas deserves maps that reflect the people, not protect the party. Redistricting should serve voters, not those clinging to power.
