Not everyone was so lucky, and I feel sorry for my insulated white friends. They will never understand.

You should see immediately the logical error in that point of view.

I was lucky. I fell in love with black girls. I valued my Native American friend. I admired my Mexican American friends. I learned about my own white privilege. It made me smarter and more compassionate.

I was forced to view the world through minority eyes and to learn empathy for oppressed people. Yes, brown people are actually oppressed; it is a real and terrible thing. Most whites don't have a clue. These whites assume because they don't feel the pain that racism can't be that bad.

I grew up in rural Illinois. Without integration and bussing, I would not have met many black and brown people, and I likely would have grown up moderately racist. My experience had certain costs, like long bus rides. Yet, I benefitted tremendously by having black and brown friends.

I am thankful for the Constitution and for the advances in civil rights in the courts. I am especially thankful for the SCOTUS 1954 ruling on Brown v. Board of Education. I am thankful for the rulings mandating integration and bussing.

Remember: The richest 1% evade over $160 billion in taxes every year.

That amount would fund SNAP for a year with money to spare.

Ask yourself who the real freeloaders are.

A teenage girl just alleged she had sex with Matt Gaetz while living in a homeless shelter because she was saving up money to pay for braces to fix her teeth.

She had just finished her junior year of high school.

Imagine being so desperate you ask Lauren Boebert to lend you a hand.

I am waiting for the video. You know there is video.

U.S. Bishops Elect New Leader as Concerns Mount Over Treatment of Migrants

“Bible teaching, he noted, is to have ‘special care for strangers, aliens and sojourners.’

‘It is not rocket science, but the Word of God’…”

The front page of today’s @nydailynews.com.

On Dec. 8, 2015, Jeffrey Epstein offers a NY Times reporter photos of Donald Trump and "girls in bikinis in my kitchen." Epstein tells the reporter that he "gave" Trump his "20 year old girlfriend...after two years."

When people looked into these type of rumors the Times smugly criticized them.

Why science?

Without science, every opinion is possible, so the most profitable opinion wins. Even if the profitable opinion kills people.

Scientific analysis reveals the failure and the solution for Tucson 9-1-1.

Blanche didn’t ask Maxwell a single question about any of these emails. Then he moved her to Club Fed where she is served individual meals and has a puppy and numerous other special privileges while she prepares her clemency petition. WHY?

If **Jeffrey Epstein** thinks you're a evil and demented sociopath, the odds are overwhelming that you are, in fact, an evil and demented sociopath.

Something that’s so striking in these emails is how…unimpressive Epstein is. He comes off as a pompous, sub-literate lech. Yes everyone is so mortifyingly solicitous of him! All fawning and flattery! Why?????

I’m not even going to ask you to make it make sense. They literally moved the one person that could spill the beans on him to a prison country club and gave her a puppy.

Sometimes the truth escapes like a cat out a door you thought was closed.

This little B!tch is spiraling

Since 2020, I have been fighting for mail-in voting and the GOP has been fighting against it. A critical court case is now going before the U.S. Supreme Court. I can assure you that I will be there fighting hard to ensure every lawful ballot counts.

The first and last lines of Joni Ernst’s legacy as a human on earth will be that she was instrumental in the confirmation of the Sec of Defense most hostile to women serving in military, and she knew that when she voted for him.

AOC: "It is unconscionable that what we are debating right now is legislation that will give 8 senators over $1 million a piece & we're robbing people of their food assistance & healthcare to pay for it. How can we vote to enrich ourselves by stealing from the American people?"

I just walked out of federal court where I pleaded NOT GUILTY to the charges against me.

I will continue to stand up to authoritarianism and call this out for what it is: a political prosecution.
