"We waked up stark mad Abolitionists" - Salon.com Inside the New England big money, made off of slavery, that also funded the fight to keep slavery out of Kansas

I've been thinking a lot lately about how communities in the Antebellum North organized to protect Black Americans from kidnapping enslavers, and also how witnessing (and resisting) such kidnappings slowly radicalized a critical mass of white Northerners against slavery www.salon.com/2017/08/05/w...

In 1854, after watching the federal government deploy 2000 federal troops and spend $40,000 sending Anthony Burns back into slavery, Boston's Amos Adams Lawrence said “we went to bed one night old-fashioned, conservative, Compromise Union Whigs and waked up stark mad Abolitionists.”

Children trapped in Texas immigration facility recount nightmares, inedible food, no school A photo of Liam Conejo Ramos, a scared 5-year-old, drew attention to a detention center in Dilley, Texas. Advocates say his experience reflects what hundreds of children have endured out of public vie...

ICE facilities commit child abuse, and every single Republican in Congress is responsible for it.

They could stop it today.

Throw the bums out. All of them.

My great grandmother was tiny her whole life because she was malnourished during The Great Depression. Is that what Rand Paul wishes for us and our children?

Chicago is where Michelle was raised, where I got my start as an organizer, and where we built a family together. When the Obama Presidential Center opens next June, it will be our way to give back to a city that has given us so much. obama.org/presidential-center

Graphic supporting Katie Hobbs for re-election as Governor of Arizona.

Since Governor Katie Hobbs took office, Arizona’s economy has grown by more than 100,000 jobs, with the lowest unemployment rate in Arizona history. It is now a manufacturing hub with billions of dollars in private investment. We need to keep her in office.

Re-Elect Katie Hobbs
Governor of Arizona

They have no respect for the status quo, only for the power it gives them.

You can quote their antisemitic conspiracies, disagree with their Nazi-themed puns, glorify their paper wealth, or vilify their body count.

About the only thing you can’t do is ignore the damage.

How we beat back the corporate takeover of America:

1. Break up corporate monopolies

2. Continue building union power

3. End Citizens United and get big money out of politics

Let’s keep working to unrig the system.

The US either wants to force this capitulation on Ukraine, or is deliberately setting the deal up for failure, giving it the excuse to walk away. Even if it backtracks, Putin will be emboldened.

In any event, European security is on the line and only Europe can take responsibility for its future.
