A coworker took this from her apartment. I haven't seen a crowd this size before. Maybe the first Women's March? But it was much much warmer that day. ICE OUT OF MINNESOTA!

Minnesota is the best of us.

....my one hand holding tight

my other hand; come celebrate

with me that everyday

something has tried to kill me

and has failed.

Becoming a U.S. citizen takes years and involves immigrants acquiring a green card, extensive interviews, background checks, classes and a citizenship test. The naturalization ceremony is the final step to the process, where the oath of allegiance and a citizenship certificate are granted. Immigrants approved to be naturalized went to Faneuil Hall Thursday - known as the country's cradle of liberty - for that long-awaited moment to pledge allegiance to the United States. But instead, as they lined up, some were told by U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services officials that they couldn't proceed due to their countries of origin.

Trump's ugly Thanksgiving meltdown It's getting so bad that even Republicans are starting to notice.

"Trump rarely faces direct consequences for his shameful rhetoric. That’s because in the past Republicans have largely refused to abandon him no matter what he says or does. But there are signs that's now changing."

NYC dog lovers!

Today is World AIDS Day, a day that reminds me of the decades-long fight for dignity, science, and compassion. We’ve come so far because activists, researchers, and communities refused to be ignored.

Thank you so much Mona for posting a video of MELIA. Please watch her video. Give this baby a chance at life out of the shelter. Check it out ⬇️⬇️

AOC to @pabloreports.bsky.social : A swastika is one of the clearest symbols of hatred in all of humanity… to remove that designation… indicates a possible collaboration with those very elements, which I think is genuinely frightening to any American.

Earlier today, I was notified that someone was at my door.

This is who it was:

I will never forget having to edit Jamal’s final, posthumous piece for the Washington Post, after he was murdered.

He was calling for free expression in the Arab world. You can read it here :
