MLK was only 39 when he was killed. Growing up, I thought that was old. But I’m 43 now and I’m stunned by the burden he shouldered at such a young age. I’m also a lot more aware of how hard it is, at any age, to carry the hopes and dreams of an oppressed people on your shoulders, as so many do.

Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr. dedicated his life fighting for equity and justice. He taught us that even in the face of intimidation and discrimination, we must never stop working towards a better future – a lesson that feels especially relevant today.

It’s time for the Supreme Court to finally issue a ruling on tariffs. The Court has already recognized that tariffs function as a tax on the American people. A president cannot unilaterally impose new taxes on American citizens that power belongs to Congress alone.

Nuclear defense is why we built a base on Greenland in 1951. We had this idea 75 years ago. The base has been there since then. You don’t have to invade a country where you already have everything. Invasion just destroys what you have and much else besides.

Why do they always fall back on the same script “paid protesters,” then “Antifa”? It’s a familiar tactic to dismiss real dissent by pretending it’s manufactured. At least yesterday, Bondi finally acknowledged the resistance, something that actually exists in the real world.

Trump is lying about Fed Chair Jerome Powell. Trump is lying about tariffs. Trump is lying about the economy.
Why should YOU care about the independence of the Federal Reserve & what happens if Trump gets his way? Former Biden White House Economic Adviser @hboushey.bsky.social answers it all, incl. debunking Trump’s repeated lies about the impact of tariffs on American consumers.

You are absolutely correct. Unions built the middle class and the middle class built America. We need a return of union power and to the Eisenhower tax rates. Anti union billionaires can afford 90% and still have wealth.

It is in no way “law enforcement” to beat up an American 10th grader and steal and sell his possessions.
This is 10th-grader Arnoldo Bazan.
A citizen.
Immigration agents grabbed him and put him in a chokehold.
"We're from the United States bro!' he screamed.
Agents took and sold his phone
And when he finally got home hours later, his shirt was ripped, he neck had angry, red welts, and he sobbed.
