Dr. King condemned the triple evils of racism, poverty, and militarism.
You just voted for $3.3B more to Netanyahu as he commits genocide on Palestinians and you oppose HR 40 which studies reparations for Black people.
You are the 'white moderate' that Dr. King condemned as worse than the KKK.

It’s not every day that an AI notetaker captures the exact moments when a friendship begins — but this one did!
The images capture everything: the instant ease, our shared laughter, intense listening, and the spark of a connection.
Wish all Zoom meetings were this good!

This phenomenon is known as the “do-gooder derogation” or antisocial punishment.

ICE++ the CBP, and judging from the patches — BORTAC.
BORTAC is a counterterrorism tactical unit of CBP.

School has been cancelled tomorrow and Friday across the city of Minneapolis, because our federal government has made it unsafe for children here.

“Disney princess ears” is a pretty good line
Q: After you told ICE to get the F out, Republicans are criticizing you for escalating tensions
FREY: I'm sorry if I offered their Disney princess ears, but if we're talking about what's inflammatory, on one hand you got someone who dropped an F bomb & on other you have someone who killed someone
