Still an important reference from the Congressional Black Caucus...

I will not say we told you so. I will say, he told you so.

I hope you believe us now when we say that the US Republic is past the line of no return.

Ya son 8 años de sorpresas y retos que me han permitido ver, hacer y lograr cosas que eran solo sueños. Y ha sido así porque compartí mis sueños con Jeannette, Jeannette compartió sus sueños conmigo, y nos tiramos juntos a admirarlos y a lograrlos.

¡Te amo, Jeannette!

Interesantes materiales porque ambos son resistentes en distintos ambientes y quebrantables por distintas razones. Como el bronce, conduce bien energía y ánimo. Como la cerámica, resiste el calor de las dificultades.

porque sabe para dónde va y me dice lo que toca porque de que llegamos, llegamos.

Dicen que el 8vo aniversario es de bronce o cerámica.

...el amor, la admiración y el respeto energiza a cualquiera a lograr esas cosas soñadas.

Amo a Jeannette porque no se deja (ni de mi 😬), porque es sabia y fuerte, porque es hermosa y tierna,

El que se dispone siempre aprende de las experiencias. Pero debo decir que aprender acompañado de alguien apasionado por la vida, comprometido con los sueños, y dedicado al bienestar de su entorno lo reta a uno a darse cuenta que la vida,

Siempre me ha gustado esta foto. Hace 8 años, ese día, nos tiramos a este viaje de admirarnos, apoyarnos, y soñarnos para nosotros y para nuestros hijos.

"And race matters for reasons that really are only skin deep, that cannot be discussed any other way, and that cannot be wished away."

"Race also matters because of persistent racial inequality in our society-inequality that cannot be ignored and that has produced stark socioeconomic disparities...

"Race matters. Race matters in part because of the long history of racial minorities' being denied access to the political process... And although we have made great strides, 'voting discrimination still exists, no one doubts that.'

The institutions of the American economy depend on the institutions of American democracy; rule of law, consistent regulation, stability, and all the rest.

That’s what’s being destroyed and that’s what risks the *entire economy.

Saying that out loud shouldn’t (and can’t) be a risk

Vance Tells Europeans to Stop Shunning Parties Deemed Extreme His comments, a week before Germany’s elections, seemed to specifically target efforts to sideline the hard-right Alternative for Germany.

NOPE!

For all that is good, stop supposing and start centering communities in party strategies.

The DNC had the defeat in November 2024 coming, and with the midterms (and a general in NYS) not really that far off, I am not holding my breath.

We have been calling in the party at all levels to pay attention, to develop a coherent narrative, to return to "being" a party of workers and the middle class, to commit to welcoming immigrants.. but no...
