Stop Trumpโ€™s D.C. Takeover Trump sent the National Guard into Washington, D.C. to intimidate his opponents and distract from his failed agenda. Email Congress now and demand they end his takeover of our nationโ€™s capital.

Trump declared a fake emergency in D.C. and sent in the military. Congress can end this abuse of powerโ€”join @standupamerica.com & demand action now: act.standupamerica.com/letters/cte-...

Fear has a way of being contagious.

But courage is also contagious.

There have never been kings in America. The monarchy doesn't start now.

If this isn't obvious to you, then you're either hopelessly brainwashed or not paying attention.

So Trump wants to take over the Panama Canal, Greenland, annex Canada, and now take control of the Gaza Strip? Are we entering a new age of imperialism? Last I checked, that never ends well.

I was really hoping we'd have a woman as president before we had one from South Africa, but here we are.

Billionaires have more money than they could ever need but never enough to fill the holes in their souls. They would send every last one of you into an early grave if it meant paying one cent less in taxes.

Every time I read the local news and see a teacher who was awarded a $250 grant for her classroom, I understand that she spent hours of her own time applying for it. Writing it. Going through a submission process.

For $250. For her classroomโ€ฆ

Who just caught Jake Tapperโ€™s interview of Rick Scott about Hegsethโ€™s nomination? Sure sounded like the dude was on a serious buzz, and his defense of Hegseth was pathetic. Nutshell: Wear the uniform, serve in combat, and Sec of Defense is an automatic yes.

Why read books? Because reading opens minds & hearts. It helps us imagine different lives and different worlds; it can help us build a better world. So please keep reading books with kids, and encouraging them to read. There is nothing more important. #literacy #books #reading

Each time our nation has advanced closer to the more inclusive, pluralist, multi-racial democracy to which weโ€™ve aspired at our best, that advance was preceded by a period of crisis and conflict.

This time is no different. A better democracy is on the other side of this crisis.

Eyes on the prize

Every single school should have a library & a librarian, to help every single child find the books that will make them readers, and give them all the lifelong benefits of literacy. Libraries & librarians change children's lives FOREVER!
