I want to apologize to the rest of the world, because electing this guy didn’t just harm us, it sent shockwaves through global democracy.
Thanks to this incompetent government, we’ve managed to export our chaos far beyond our own borders.

As a survivor of the Tulsa Race Massacre, Viola Ford Fletcher bravely shared her story so that we’d never forget this painful part of our history. Michelle and I are grateful for her lifelong work to advance civil rights, and send our love to her family.

Everyone needs to read @bethmacy.bsky.social's new book. WaPo says, "There couldn’t be a timelier book than Beth Macy’s searching and deeply reported 'Paper Girl: A Memoir of Home and Family in a Fractured America.'” www.washingtonpost.com/books/2025/1...
Review | To understand our divided America, she started with her hometown
In “Paper Girl,” Beth Macy describes returning to Urbana, Ohio, once a key stop on the Underground Railroad, now a place where Confederate flags abound.

Before the midterms of 1866, President Andrew Johnson called his congressional opponents traitors and said they should be hanged.
Voters were so profoundly moved by his words... that they gave his opponents a supermajority in Congress, and the nation got the Fourteenth Amendment.

Every dollar spent on food stamps generates $1.50-$1.80 in economic activity.
Each dollar going to low-wage workers adds $1.20 to the economy overall.
