not for nothing but Donny's clown car of yutzes in the "diplomat" space lead me to kindly suggest other countries take France's lead here

It's an album about how oppressed people attempt to reclaim power and agency, and Queen Esther reads 2026's room correctly, knowing that such a message must be delivered with authority and without apology.

And no one in this space is better equipped to do that; hers is a singular talent.

Fannie Lou Hamer’s Medal of Freedom Now Displayed at Mississippi Civil Rights Museum Fannie Lou Hamer’s posthumously-awarded Presidential Medal of Freedom is now on display at the Mississippi Civil Rights Museum.

Fannie Lou Hamer challenged the Democratic Party power brokers at the 1964 Democratic National Convention to allow Black delegates to represent Mississippi.

"All of this is on account of we want to register, to become first-class citizens," Hamer told the DNC credentials committee in 1964.

With your phone in your pocket, practice hitting power and volume up at the same time for a couple seconds.

If you think measles is exciting, great news! You can catch it in South Carolina! We eliminated it decades ago, but SC said β€œnot on my watch” and now has 840 cases! Huge shoutout to right wing media and influencers telling people not to trust science. Make America Sick Again!πŸ‡ΊπŸ‡ΈπŸ‡ΊπŸ‡Έ

Whew. Judge Biery (Clinton appointee) is not messing around, dropping on the feds the Magna Carta, the Declaration of Independence, the Fourth Amendment, Ben Franklin, and the Bible.

If the Trump regime wasn't slaughtering people in the streets, more Americans would notice that the economy has been gutted.

How Trump’s Threat to Invoke Insurrection Act Differs From JFK’s Use in Mississippi The military has been used about 30 times since 1807 to enforce civil rights and quell riots. Can they be used to quash political protests?

More than 60 years ago, President John F. Kennedy mobilized 30,000 federal troops to stop rioting over the admission of James Meredith, a Black student, at the University of Mississippi.

President Donald Trump now threatens to use the Insurrection Act to quell protests in Minnesota.

We need to talk about the rise of "smol bean fascism" where you have all the guns and the immunity but the really scary people are the ones with whistles and phone cameras and they're giving you generational trauma and ptsd by filming you killing people for no reason

neutrality becomes complicity.

This is a moment that demands β€œpolarization,” not another bland white man promising β€œcomfort”.
