Reverend Jesse Jackson called on each of us to be heralds of change, to be messengers of hope; to step forward and say “Send me” wherever we have a chance to make an impact.

How fortunate we were that Jesse Jackson answered that call. What a great debt we owe to him.

Never forget

BREAKING: As I was first to report earlier, Trump has nominated Bradford Wilson, who does not meet the statutory requirements—which include that the nominee be nonpartisan and professionally qualified—to be the next Archivist of the United States.

Someday, before I die I hope, Americans will come to realize that not choosing the lesser evil means the greater evil wins

I've been voting for nearly forty years and I never once voted for a candidate that fully encompassed my values. I pulled the lever for Obama when he was hemming and hawing about gay marriage. You know what I got out of that? Gay marriage.

WARNING: Illinois Is About to Elect a MAGA-Aligned Senator But it's not too late -- here's what we need to do to prevent a catastrophic failure and instead elect someone whose record aligns with our values

IL is on the verge of electing a Senator far more aligned with Trump, MAGA power brokers & ICE infrastructure expansion than the values of a deep-blue state.

Here’s what Raja Krishnamoorthi hopes you don’t know about him & how we elect someone better.

The richest man owns X.

The second and third richest men control Google.

The fourth richest man owns Facebook, Instagram, and WhatsApp.

The fifth richest man owns The Washington Post.

And now the sixth richest could soon take over both Paramount and Warner Bros.

See the problem here?

Maybe @govpritzker.illinois.gov is on a solution?

Because of the National driver register, since their licenses are suspended, trans folks cannot move to another state and get a new license until they remove the suspension on their existing Kansas license.

They can't even escape this by moving to another state.

Of course isn’t just driving. It’s voting. Working. Travelling. Picking up a package. Applying for credit. Applying for a job. Renting a room. Filling prescriptions. Visiting loved ones in the hospital. Not expired either, but legally invalid.

As of tonight, licenses of trans people across Kansas are being invalidated en masse, enabling the overnight criminalization of an entire group of people for going about our lives. It’s often said you never know when you’re living through history, so let me assure you: that’s what’s happening now.

Wow.

This one hits hard.

I’m so so so glad I don’t drink coffee.

I don’t know who needs to hear Jesse Jackson leading the kids on Sesame Street in this beautiful call-and-response reminding them that every child is somebody, but here it is

Wow.

And … Women would do their jobs better, I’m sure.

Well, after Dick Button, yes. ;) Uncle Dickie will always be the GOAT for me. :)

Completely underrated film.

One of the best of the night for me.

Agreed. One of the two Latvian skaters lost both parents to Covid and was essentially adopted by his coach at 16.

An incredible turn of events here. 10/10, no notes. 😂

Not missing the orignal post from Ms. Gay. I very much wish Bonaly well: she was totally under appreciated in her time and had a groundbreaking career.

I take issue with the constant revisionist history around the backflip. It’s just factually incorrect.

The world heard JD Vance being booed at the Olympics. Except for viewers in the US | Bryan Armen Graham The real risk for American broadcasters is not that dissent will be visible. It is that audiences will start assuming anything they do not show is being hidden

Why did the American audience apparently hear different audio of JD Vance's appearance at the Olympics than the audio heard by the rest of the world?

NBC denies muting. But it's part of overall disturbing developments in the US corporate media world.
