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.

2026 is going to be a very dark year for US foreign policy, where everything that was built over many decades by leaders for collective security is torn apart by one madman, but only because people in his own party remain silent.

The video is hard to watch but people need to see it for themselves.
ICE spokesperson is claiming it was self defense. I disagree, but judge for yourself.
These goons are clearly not trained, follow zero rules and are lawless in every way.

Stephen Miller on CNN - “We live in a world, in the real world … that is governed by strength, that is governed by force, that is governed by power. These are the iron laws of the world.”

This is what I signed up for as a teenager in the 60s… and I’m still in, more than ever!
JFK in 1960 defined a liberal as someone who who fights for justice and civil rights, someone who welcomes new ideas without rigidity, who defends the vulnerable, and acts with principle. His bold words still challenge every one of us to stand up and do what's right.

In Trump protest: Doug Varone and Dancers withdrew from a two-night stand in April at the “Kennedy Center”, that was intended to celebrate the company’s 40th anniversary. Varone said it would lose $40,000 by pulling out. “It is financially devastating but morally exhilarating,” he said. #OnEarth
