Rudy Bridges is younger than the Sitting President of the United States and 29 sitting United States Senators
It’s useful for people of my generation to be reminded that this wasn’t that long ago. Ruby Bridges isn’t just still alive—she’s only 71, not ancient!
65 years ago on Nov. 14, little Ruby Bridges was escorted into an all-white elementary school in New Orleans. Norman Rockwell, renowned for blissful depictions of Americana, did this remarkable painting for Look magazine. Printed as a double page, over-size spread, it's his masterpiece.

Trump has just removed a memorial to Black soldiers from a US military cemetery. But no matter what he does to try to erase them, Black soldiers have fought for this country — from the First Rhode Island Regiment in 1778 to the Tuskegee Airmen of World War II to the service members of today.

I've seen so many people online using the government shutdown as an opportunity to demonize people who receive SNAP benefits, WIC and any kind of government assistance.
Here's the thing:
I agree with those people.
We need to end the WHITE welfare state
BECAUSE welfare works.

Why should you 🫵🏿 care about SNAP? SNAP recipients saw:
- Improved life expectancy
- Lower chance of incarceration
- Lowers chance of poverty
- Lived in better neighborhoods
- Higher human capital
SNAP keeps our neighbors fed, communities safer, and kids educated. Also people are HUNGRY. DUH!

DOGE fired so many Black women that it massively spiked their unemployment rate.

Alright all: We've learned that we have power.
Now the next step is to use that for other things we care about, including journalists, immigrants, etc. who don't have Kimmel's support and resources.
