Sen. Booker just broke the record for the longest floor speech in Senate history—a record set by Strom Thurmond trying to block the Civil Rights Act. The irony ain’t lost on us. From fighting against justice to fighting for it. This is what courage & being on the right side of history looks like!

What’s most clear to me tonight is that this is just the beginning, that Americans across this country, no matter their title or party, are ready to be heard.
I believe that history will show we rose to meet this moment.

We’re proud to celebrate Judge @crawfordforwi.bsky.social’s victory and her ascension to the Wisconsin Supreme Court. Wisconsinites sent a clear message: it’s the people—not billionaires—who decide our elections.

Medicare for All isn't radical.
What's radical is that we are the only major country not to guarantee health care as a human right. Every other major country figured out years ago how to provide health care to all at a much lower cost.
Please don't tell me we can't do the same.

the patience & self-love required to allow locs to grow out at their own pace without putting extensions in or a protective style over is the real test.

I wish more people knew about the 1920s Klan because they—perhaps more than European fascists—are the model for Trumpism.
This is a good summary and a nice reminder that they do a lot of damage, but in the end, fascists always lose.

In light of everything happening, I wrote about how the KKK in the 1920s felt unstoppable, about the people that fought against them anyway, and about how fascism always fails. dansinker.com/posts/202…

Billionaires existing is WHY we can't fund those other things, LMAOOO, pls guys. We can't afford any more delusional thinking.
Elon musk is the richest man in the world, he could be funding hospitals, medical research and universities. He could be solving the climate crisis. He could be feeding, hungry children. Instead, he’s trying to make sure that your grandmother doesn’t get an extra dollar of Social Security.

It is perfectly legal to know your rights and to educate others about them, too.
EVERYONE in the United States, citizen or not, has rights. I will not allow this administration to intimidate us from helping you know about them.

Stats show that Republicans call their Congress person 8x more than Dems do! And even if you’re a Dem in a Republican area, THEY STILL REPRESENT AND WORK FOR YOU!

In private letters to their constituents, however, they're pledging to be a guardrail on DOGE, and even acknowledging the stress Musk is causing

Just realized someone should probably say this. . .
Black people:
When we do this?
Do not put your face (and faces of your community members) in the video.
And you got one of our faces in the video by accident? Blur it out before you post the video online.
And be EXTRA CAREFUL when going live.

In the US city of Cincinnati in Ohio, armed Nazis decided to hang flags over an overpass, they were promptly removed by locals who chased them away and burned the Nazi flags. The police tried to protect the Nazis.
