A Somali man in Minneapolis gave this to a legal observer. 🤍

"To Our Guardian Angels: You did not merely observe; you acted. You confronted hatred face-to-face. You stood between us & the agents of fear, becoming the voice for the voiceless, the strength for the weary, & the hope for the hopeless."

AOC: "Extreme level of wealth inequality leads to social instability and drives authoritarianism, right-wing populism, and really dangerous domestic internal politics. That is a direct outcome of the failure of democracies over decades to deliver."

When we talk about authoritarianism, it’s not just Donald Trump.

Musk owns X
Bezos owns Twitch
Zuckerberg owns Instagram and Facebook
Larry Ellison controls TikTok

Billionaires increasingly control what we see, hear and read.

Sir Ian McKellen performing a monologue from Shakespeare’s Sir Thomas More on the Stephen Colbert show. Never have I heard this monologue performed with such a keen sense of prescience. Nor have I ever been in this exact historical moment.TY Sir Ian, for reaching us once again.

I know you've heard that a federal judge ordered the release of 5 year old Liam Conejo Arias and his father, and that they're now home.

But did you look at the judge's order?

It's less than 2.5 pages and well worth a minute. "Jesus wept."

Some folks went thru the Great Depression and tightened their fists, saying, "I'll never go hungry again; screw everyone else!" Others, like my mom, Jean, said, "I know what it’s like to be poor and hungry so I’m helping others the rest of my life so they don’t have to go thru it." Be like Jean. ❤️

TikTok misusing our personal data was bad.

TikTok now being partly controlled by a Trump-aligned billionaire family and one of his biggest political donors who also owns other major media outlets is even worse.

We remember and reflect on Canada’s mission in Afghanistan, and the lasting impact it had on those who served.

Their service, their sacrifice, and the impact on their families and communities will never be forgotten.
