Every American needs to watch this:

"Darkness cannot drive out darkness; only light can do that. Hate cannot drive out hate, only love can do that." -MLK

As always, Dr. King's message is right on time. Today calls on all of us to hear his wisdom and put it into action.

Read Martin Luther King Jr.'s 'I Have a Dream' speech in its entirety Americans across the U.S. are celebrating King's legacy this weekend. One way to reflect on his life and message is by revisiting his celebrated 1963 speech delivered at the Lincoln Memorial.

I’m 100% sure that’s actually not the question to be asking

This is the playbook, folks.

If you're not paying attention now and doing something about it, then you're going to have to sit down the rest of your life because democracy is being taken away.

Do not be quiet in this moment.

I got whooping cough in my 50s and cracked 2 ribs from the horrendous cough that lasted 12 weeks and kept me sleeping in a chair for a month or more. It took me a long time to regain health between the ribs, the choking cough and the lack of sleep. I can’t imagine a baby or child going through that.

Having served on the U.S. Holocaust Memorial Council and the President’s Committee on the Arts and the Humanities, I can tell you that state control of historical narrative is a bright red line.

The oil industry buys off Congress. No action on climate.

The NRA buys off Congress. No action on guns.

Insurance companies buy off Congress. No action on health care.

The list goes on and on.

Money in politics is the root of our dysfunction.

May we one day have a real president again.

Soulless. The consequence of selling your soul.

Today would be a great day to ban members of Congress and their families from trading stocks.

The richest man in the world spent more money than most of us will see in our lifetimes to lose a state Supreme Court race by 10 points.

And the fact his $25 million was a drop in the bucket compared to what he's spent on other elections is exactly why we must overturn Citizens United.

You have to see this.

PoliticsGirl and her husband teamed up with the brilliant Timothy Snyder (author of On Tyranny) and the legendary John Lithgow to create something truly powerful. It’s important, it’s urgent—and it needs to be shared far and wide.

You don’t know who we just disappeared to El Salvador. Think about that.

I’m totally fine with deporting gang members who commit crimes who don’t have legal status.

I just don’t want Tom Homan or an ICE agent grabbing anyone off the street and flying them to a prison in El Salvador while claiming they are all of those things with zero due process.

Never forget this day, February 28, 2025, when an American president abused and betrayed a democratic ally in the midst of a barbaric war with Russia. This grotesque stain will never wash away.

Sorry, 2008

When Mylan (w/ Manchin’s daughter as CEO) criminally price gouged Epi-pens in 2006, I went to pick up the extra supply each of my 3 kids had to keep at their school for the year, and the cost was over $3000. So much discussion of long it would last after expiration, but terrifying decisions to make.
