Jesse Jackson was the Shadow Senator for DC when I was an intern. It would be befitting to honor him by giving DC representatives with a vote. And an _elector_ 🙏 RIP, Sir.

Al Sharpton: Barack Obama was able to become President because of Jesse Jackson.

How many of the media outlets eulogizing Rev. Jesse Jackson today spent decades trying to undermine his work & turn him into a punchline?

Jesse Jackson was an early and ardent supporter of gay rights. In fact, on July 17, 1984 at the DNC in San Fransisco, the first speech EVER at a national political convention calling for gay rights was delivered by none other than Rev. Jackson himself.

😟

This has been an ongoing battle for this nations soul.

Jesse Jackson was a champion for civil rights, economic justice, and world peace.

I have always remembered his moving call for moral clarity at the 1988 DNC.

To counter authoritarianism in the US we must demand that companies don’t ’comply in advance’ on dubious asks. Does anyone know where LinkedIn stands on this? Has anyone tried reaching out?

Onions have layers

These types of contests have always felt icky.

Insanity. They are laughing at us.

Hahahaha. Also didn’t those toxic notions lead to infanticide?

New York Times headline reads "Teddy Roosevelt's Family Urges G.O.P. to Protect Public Lands; In a rare letter to Republican senators, four descendants of the former president oppose mining near a wilderness are in Minnesota."

Our public lands are our shared inheritance, and that includes the Boundary Waters.

Stand with Teddy Roosevelt’s family – speak out to protect what belongs to all of us.

Why are they still so high? Buyers are literally supporting fascism.

Need to start including individual perpetrators in punitive sentences

Layoffs are a reality. Are they always well reasoned and well executed? Usually not. But it is torture to do it to people. Forcing two employees into letting go or being let go where a family’s livelihood is affected is cruelty. My latest reason for supporting UBI.

Something is happening in the workplace too - it’s becoming more common to BS. Sometimes folks have no problem all out lying. I work with highly educated people and this shift is breaking my brain.

Isn’t that a pre-requisite for the party?

Corruption 101

Let's do some quick simple math. We are told that the data center boom will be powered by natural gas (methane) in the US. Even thought methane is a climate killer and gas power is much more expensive than renewables.

However, we are being told this is the only way forward.

It is a lie.

Everyone involved are monsters.
