Civil rights leader Jesse Jackson has passed away at the age of 84. My thoughts are with his family.

I wanted to share this clip from his appearance on Sesame Street in 1971. His important words ring just as true today as they did back then.

Oh noooo, Libby. I’m so sorry. 💔

Re: driving on icy streets.

“Steering into the skid” has exactly the same meaning to me as when Moira Rose said “You just fold it in, David!”.

A little extra love to Minnesota nurses today.

You’re either lost forever, and you believe in all of it until the day you d*e, or you step back, say no, and come with us. 5/5

And if you don’t defect from the insanity, if that one, horrible event doesn’t tip the scales and horrify you, finally, enough to turn away, you are lost forever. History doesn’ty lie. That’s what happens. That one tipping point is the moment.

If you don’t feel it in your soul that what they’re doing to our fellow American citizens is wrong, let’s talk about when it’s not individual deaths that they try to explain away with whatever they think will make you feel better.

He didn't shoot her in the head at point blank range because he felt like he was in danger. He shot her in the head at point blank range because he was furious that she wasn't afraid of him. He shot her in the head at point blank range because he felt emasculated.

I remember this from childhood! “We fired once more and they began a runnin’, on down the Mississippi to the Gulf of Mexico.”

Fascism is a cult.

Cults always end the same way.

Reframe your mind. Grow your empathy.

Any young person who's trying to figure out manipulative patterns and behaviors, would be well-advised watch videos of Mike Johnson with the sound off – and then listen to him with audio only. He's a quintessential high-manipulative personality. Stay far, far away from anyone who reminds you of him.

Just flew in from Saturn to check on y’all. What are you lunatics up to? 🪐 ✨

Imagine you're a career military general being summoned for a pentagon strategy lecture by a former game show host and a former weekend talk show host.

REPUBLICANS: “Jimmy Kimmel was not a free speech issue. It was a private decision.”

TRUMP: “I TOLD THEM TO CANCEL THAT SHOW! NOW I’M GONNA TAKE ALL THE FREE SPEECH ABC HAS! NO MORE SAYING WHAT YOU WANT ABOUT ME”

If you think that adults taking Tylenol hurt kids, just wait until you read what the adults in the Epstein Files were doing to them.

Obama applauds Newsom's California redistricting plan as 'responsible' as Texas GOP pushes new maps

What real leadership looks like.

Immigrants are what make our state great and they are what make this country great.
