Immigrant day laborers organized a massive mutual aid effort to help Los Angeles wildfire victims. Their mantra is: Sรณlo el pueblo salva al pueblo - only the community saves the community๐Ÿฅฐ

Tell your senators to vote no on the Laken Riley Act as it will endanger these heroes.

Thank you, Oregon! ๐Ÿ™๐Ÿฝ

The viral claim that 60 fire engines from Oregon were turned away in California over emissions is FALSE.

Three hundred Oregon firefighters volunteered to come and have arrived in Southern California. Theyโ€™re already fighting fires in Los Angeles.

Fans who interfered with Betts in WS Game 4 banned from all parks indefinitely NEW YORK -- The two fans who interfered with Mookie Betts during Game 4 of the World Series at Yankee Stadium have been indefinitely banned from all MLB stadiums and facilities. The fans -- Austin Cap...

Apparently the penalty for interfering in a baseball game is considerably stiffer than the penalty for election interference.

To be kind is to believe in others when they forget to believe in themselves. Every act of kindness plants a seed of courage for someone else.

Thank you for this high honor.

Trump is an insurrectionist who has no legal right to be president, his administration is illegal; even if it wasn't he is a fascist that must be stopped. Democracy is a negotiation and if that negotiation leads to the collapse of democracy, stripping of human rights, then negotiations have failed.

The sad reality is, the overwhelming majority of Americans don't know there's a voter for the Speaker going on, don't care & won't be able to name him after the vote. This is what happens in a country where civics education is no longer universal. Its absence lets darkness settle in over democracy.

We Are on Our Own From Marc | Our institutions are not going to save us. Only we can do that.

Each time I have sat down to write something since the election, I am bothered by this recurring phrase that I simply cannot get out of my head.

So, I am going to just say it out loud: we are on our own.
