@cbsnews.com shame on you for flashing random Black grocery shoppers on the screen every time you mention SNAP benefits and using a video clip from a Black single mother. Check the stats and make your reporting and editing representative of SNAP recipients.

There is a genocide in Gaza that our government is funding.

The time to speak up was in 2023.

And in 2024.

And now in 2025.

It is not a war. It’s ethnic cleansing and genocide and two administrations have handed Israel’s government everything it wants to carry it out.

The way hollered out loud at “… the supremacy is not looking very supreme.” #whereisthelie
The plan to prove that the most incompetent White men are preferable to the most highly qualified Black men has been a smashing success.

Between the tariff lunacy tanking the economy, the chain-sawing of the federal govt, & Signal-gate (parts 1 & 2), the supremacy is not looking very supreme.
Poster child for the meritocracy.

We have to stop using the conservative framing of DEI as a bad thing. A meritocracy is naturally diverse, because talent is randomly apportioned across the population. There’s no telling who could be great based on attributes as meaningless as ethnicity or gender.

If you wanted to cut waste, fraud, and abuse, you would empower the inspectors general.

If you wanted more waste, fraud, and abuse, you would fire them.

I honestly believe our most powerful position in a toxic time that feeds on cynicism, apathy,& despair is to genuinely care and act for a better world.

Cynicism is our enemy. We should check it, incl. on the left. It’s not intellectually superior. It’s the virus they’re trying to infect us with. NO

Folks who saw Rev. Budde's immensely courageous homily yesterday at the Nat'l Cathedral shd contact her w/ words of support & gratitude. Bishop of the Episcopal Diocese of DC, she's now under direct attack by the orange menace, who is punishing her on his social media site. I pray for her safety.

RESIST.
Don't quit.
Don't stop fighting.
Don't obey in advance.
Don't stop calling them out.
Keep raising your voices as loudly as you can.
Keep organizing your friends, family, everyone.
Keep supporting orgs that are leading the fight.

RESIST.
