YouTube video by The Late Show with Stephen Colbert Rep. James Talarico On Confronting Christian Nationalism, And Strange Days In The Texas Legislatu…

Skydance, parent co of Paramount & CBS, complied in advance. FCC chair, Brendan Carr is flexing so CBS barred Colbert from airing his interview with TX Senate candidate, Rep. James Talarico
Therefore, don't share this link of the Colbert interview with @jamestalarico.bsky.social
It'll make Carr mad

He never told us the Helpers would be safe
Never told us they were invincible
Never told us they weren't
Flesh and Blood Boot and Sinew Soul and Heart
Mothers and Fathers
Black and white
Brown and Indigeouss
He told us
"Look for the helpers. You will always find people who are helping."
Maybe because
The Helpers need help too
Need protection
Need prayers
Need love
I think we are supposed to Look for the helpers To let them know
They aren't alone
They aren't unseen
They will not be forgotten
If you can not stand on the front line
Anchor it
Amplify it
Protect it
Look for the helpers
Hold them up
Speak life
Gratitude
Weave not thoughts and prayers But summon ancestral strength
Wrap them in a power undefinable
Mr. Ropers was right
When the chaos comes Look for the belpers Follow the helpers
And when the asphalt is watered
With helper blood
As it has been Over and over
Seeping into the soil beneath
Let their names be forever
In the air
Like prayers
Like battle cries
The peaple save the people The helpers lead the way Look for the helpers
Help them
Too

Anyone that has more Christmas gifts to buy I recommend buying a membership or Costco gift cards and let’s support them while they sue Trump.

Pass the word…….

These Native kids were first to witness the mighty Klamath River's rebirth The removal of dams, and the river's restoration, is "a great David-and-Goliath story."

β€œThe river seemed to come alive right after dam removal.”
