Maya Angelou didnโ€™t just write about resilience. She lived it. She proved dignity cannot be crushed and hope cannot be silenced.

Still I rise. Always.

Poet. Author. Truth teller. A voice that taught generations how to stand back up.

It sure seems like when we have our basic needs met, and don't have to hustle to survive, humans will almost always choose to create art.

And there is a lot of evidence that when a society decides to honor and promote art and artists, everyone who lives there is measurably happier.

The press corps has not made a major story out of the fact that Trump is burning up the middle class because itโ€™s the middle class thatโ€™s getting burned up. Media companies are satisfied with stories that wonder. Itโ€™s only a definitive tax story if a Dem wants corporations to pay their fair share.

Screenshot of a CNN segment shared by Acyn. A split-screen shows commentator Lydia Moynihan on the left and Kevin Oโ€™Leary on the right during a heated exchange. The chyron reads, โ€œObama: Dems need to avoid scolding and โ€˜virtue-signaling.โ€™โ€ The post quotes Oโ€™Leary referencing China and concentration camps, and McGowan responding about West Virginia.

I spent my childhood inside of American concentration camps. I know one when I see one. And that is what ICE is building.

Colbert usually gets around 2 million viewers but because Trump's FCC banned Talarico's interview the segment has been viewed online over 10.5 million times. Nice work, dipshits

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.

โ€œI am somebodyโ€ shaped how millions of us saw ourselves as kids, including me. That message mattered. It still does.

Rest in power, Jesse Jackson

I donโ€™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

Itโ€™s been an emotional morning. Jesse Jackson died today.

This poem he recited to these children on Sesame Street in 1973 was what America was striving towards. We can get there again.

We are all somebody.

"We can have democracy in this country, or we can have great wealth concentrated in the hands of a few, but we can't have both." โ€“Justice Louis Brandeis

Words spoken many years ago that are just as relevant today.

We must continue the fight to get big money out of politics.

-A living wage
-Guaranteed healthcare
-The right to join a union
-The right to vote
-The right to choose when, how, and with whom you start a family
-The right for you and your family to live free from gun violence

These are the foundations of real freedom.

Complaining that following the Constitution will stop you from doing the thing you want to do is... an admission that what you want to do is unconstitutional.

You swore an oath to defend the Constitution. You are violating that oath, Rep. Alford. Time to go home and let someone else do the job.

"When Musk & Hegseth argue that a racially diverse nation is inherently weak, they're not returning us to some long-established American tradition from which we've recently strayed. They are, instead, parroting the exact same propaganda that Nazi Germany promoted against America during WW II."
