On this date in 1939, Marian Anderson sang to an Easter Sunday crowd of 75,000 at the Lincoln Memorial after the Daughters of the American Revolution refused to allow her to sing at Constitution Hall in Washington, D.C.

I am aware that we do not save each other very often. But I am also aware that we save each other some of the time.

¿Cuántas de nuestras normas y legislaciones referencian a las normas dictadas por esta institución?

Musk&Vance to me are even more terrifying
(plus, they are younger)

The image is a screenshot of a social media post by Bernie Sanders (@BernieSanders ). The post reads: "So. This is the state of American democracy. The richest guy in the world is handing out million dollar checks in order to win a Wisconsin Supreme Court seat and elect an anti-choice judge. We MUST overturn Citizens United and move to public funding of elections." Below the post, there is an image of Elon Musk holding a large check made out to "America PAC" for "Nicholas Jacobs" in the amount of $1,000,000, signed by Elon Musk.

Money corrupts, and money in politics corrupts completely.

When researchers cannot engage in legitimate scientific discourse out of fear that the government will strip away their livelihoods, we no longer live in a society that values freedom, truth, or progress.

Les están haciendo un golpe de estado y todavía no reaccionan 😬

I had a baby and wrote a book last year, and I don't think I could have done either without doing this first

I’m on a school board in WA state. ICE is not allowed to enter a school unless they have a judicial warrant. It has to have the person’s name & be signed w/a judge. This is the death of due process.

Carefully choose the roads you follow or you’ll find yourself complaining about the direction, when you’re the driver.

Canadian MP Charlie Angus: I am here today to urge Canadians to avoid travel to the United States if at all possible and to call on our government to stand up for our citizens who are being denied their rights through arbitrary detention in the United States.

"When the most powerful man in the country—POTUS — uses derisive and misogynous language to describe women, and pays no recognizable political price for it [or for multiple accusations of sexual misconduct], one effect is the normalization of that behavior.

This undermines the efforts of adults.."
