Change has never been easy. It takes persistence and determination, and requires all of us to speak out and stand up for what we believe in. As we honor Dr. King today, let’s draw strength from his example, and do our part to build on his legacy.

The thing is, that in this way, the Kennedy center can be taken over. Authoritarian textbook. Culture-collaps.

There’s no ballroom, but East Room. And golden curtains. Same curtain that hung there during the Biden admin.

See, same curtain.

I took this pic last year, when Biden announced the immigration reform that Trump vetoed.

Gutted by the Dems caving after the blue-wave wins of last week? Sick & tired of us snatching defeat from the jaws of victory? I hear you! Might I suggest you calm yourself, relax, take a deep, cleansing breath... then see if this photo of 2 pandas cuddling is of any help.

The average SNAP benefit per month is $177 a person.

The average ACA benefit per month is up to $550 a person.

People want us to hold the line for a reason. This is not a matter of appealing to a base. It’s about people’s lives.

And working people want leaders whose word means something to them.
