Reverend Jesse Jackson never stopped demanding that this country live up to its promise. He knew the enormous power that comes with mobilizing diverse coalitions around a common goal.

The world needs more leaders like him. We will miss him fiercely.

there's a Bizarro World logic to this

Trump Picks His Ex-Receptionist, 26, for Top Ballroom Job Trump has appointed a 26-year-old aide with no notable arts expertise to the arts commission reviewing his tacky D.C. makeover.

i'm aware of their incompetence, but i'm always fearful that their ruthlessness can make up for much of it

Trump is gifted in the art of getting elected; i guess he ‘interviews well,’ at least in the eyes of some Americans

once on the job, he's worse than useless: he's a menace

Trump Can’t Steal the Midterms The case for being vigilant without panicking.

"Changing electoral outcomes by seizing ballot boxes takes numbers and precision....That would require considerably more capacity, coordination, and competence than the Trump administration has displayed."

Obama opened up myriads of avenues for us to believe we were on the verge of reaching post-racial America

it gradually seemed:
✅plausible…
✅possible…
✅likely…
✅probable…

…and birtherism kicked in, ushering in the Trump era

hope crashed down an escalator, where our amigos became ´bad hombres’

When I was a teenager, I began my "activism" campaigning for the Fair Housing Act in Orange County, California. I was appalled to learn how racist the people in the lovely neighborhoods were.
I naively thought we were beyond this. 🤬😪

one more step in the US emulating Russia

are we there, yet?

a touching, heartfelt, humble, humbling homage

One of the greatest documentarians has passed after a long and deeply penetrating career. Frederick Wiseman's work was a cinematic insurgency of relentless, patient truth, but also a deep influence on a lot of narrative journalism, my own included. RIP.

i tagged you on Tennessee Holler's post b/c it resurfaced aspects of the tragedy i had brought up with you, especially the decision *not* to indict

whoever is saying ‘it went off’ is someone who seeks to evade accountability

hopefully, a civil case will be brought

no part of this is okay

I’m not ok with saying ‘it’ went off.. Aren’t guns meant to be safety locked by responsible owners?

Who pulls out a gun point blank in front of anyone they care about & puts them at risk?

For me, it’s a bit much of a coincidence that they had a furious argument earlier, & next minute, she’s dead

at the very least, refuse to fund it while Trump is pulling the strings and thugs are manning it

a funding agreement—based on iCE implementing changes—will only lead to continued violations

Abolish ICE!

a simple power grab in an area where the feds have no say

“Confidential” Agreements Show Trump Administration’s Plans for States’ Voter Data At least 10 states have handed over their full voter files to the Justice Department.

The DOJ has asked states to agree to sign a secret agreement “in connection w/ handing over their full voter files.” The agreement says that “the DOJ will ‘test, analyze, & assess states’ [voter rolls]’ & send each participating state a list of voters who must be removed within 45 days.” 2/5/26 …1/

DHS shut down over demands to end masking, profiling, excessive force and use of admin warrants to enter homes. I’ll discuss at 11 pm on @msnownews.bsky.social

Context Matters: Trump Administration Summons Secretaries of State And the context for this one isn't promising.

the correlation between Epstein & pedophilia on one hand, and Israel, Zionism and genocide is inaccurate

please do not amplify this (unless it’s your opinion)

not-fun-fact: Orbán just declared that the EU—which has been pouring hundreds of €millions into Hungary's economy—is a greater danger to that country than Russia is

Viktor Orbán’s Hail Mary. I was editor in chief of Hungary’s most-read independent daily until a pro-government media network bought the newspaper. It’s the fifth time in thirty years that politics has cost me my job—and it’s ...

Via PBS News Hour, Marco Rubio, US Secretary of State, today endorsed Hungarian Prime Minister Viktor Orbán.

"Your sucess is our sucess," Rubio said.

Orbán, of course, has been the model for controlling the news media as a way to stay in power.
