Sorry to get so political, but slavery was extremely bad.

Thank God for Rachel Maddow. If not for her inspiration, journalistic integrity, and masterful, historical storytelling, I don’t know that I could breathe during this moment. She makes coping amidst chaos possible. And Lawrence O’Donnell too!

American Government: Constitutional Foundations | Harvard University Learn how early American politics informed the U.S. Constitution and why its promise of liberty and equality has yet to be fully realized.

Just one of many free courses offered by Harvard. I suggest the entire nation take this course.

Not a Jewish mother, but I’ve been wondering the same thing. How does he face his children?

Biden is old and has a stutter, but he wasn’t churning out crazy sh!t very damn day. Our economy was the “envy of the world” and I could sleep at night. JFC.

My ancestors came nearly 300 years ago, and fought in the Revolution. I’ll be damned if democracy dies on my watch!

Here’s the truth: White Americans — white men especially — who didn’t need to compete against a broad-based pool because of gender and racial discrimination; who have long enjoyed access to neighborhoods and networks, jobs, clubs, and government programs that systematically excluded others; and who continue to enjoy the presumption of expertise even when they are far outside their depth — have long been the original beneficiaries of race and gender-based affirmative action in this country.

Disgusting! We are living under a cruel, heartless regime. They are also joyless, unless you count being joyful that you are intentionally hurting others.

It’s beyond sad what’s happened to NYT & WaPo. They used to be my trusted sources, but they’ve become a joke. I’m finding more to read in WSJ. Hell has frozen over!

April 18, 2025 Tonight I had the extraordinary privilege of speaking at the anniversary of the lighting of the lanterns in Boston’s Old North Church, which happened 250 years ago tonight.

I grew up watching the reenactment of the Battle of Lexington. HCR recounts the history that led up to this momentous morning. So inspiring!

I’m completely convinced the goal of Project 2025 is to break America. The “revenge and retribution” is against ALL Americans. Even billionaires are just useful idiots they know will be complicit.

This is how you do it.
