The irony of the richest man in the world almost single-handedly destroying an agency designed to help the world’s poor, so that the U.S. federal budget has more room for another giant tax cut for the richest man in the world and his pals, should not be lost on anyone. [Cartoon by Mike Luckovich]

If we stop paying attention we let them win.
If we give up hope we let them win.
If we become paralyzed by fear or anger we let them win.
If we stop caring we let them win.
We WILL NOT let them win!

In the past few days, we have seen shocking posts from one of the most famous men alive: Kanye West.
Hate speech fuels violence. Every act of racial violence began with words.
Report hate.
Call it out.
Stop bigotry.
Fight Fascism.
Do not tolerate evil.
Be an interrupter.
Resist!

The real and only answer to why this is happening:
Only reason why Diversity Equity & Inclusion is being aggressively dismantled, why black history is literally being erased & why brown and black immigrants are being rounded up, because our government is currently leading the largest white supremacist movement since Jim Crow laws started in 1865.
Never let them normalize inhumanity.

Max Fisher: "Wielding the power of the state to intimidate news agencies against reporting on the government's illegal abuses of power is literal authoritarianism. I'm not speaking figuratively, I'm not calling it a warning sign. It's authoritarianism. It's here."

Under the GOP's SAVE Act, Tribal IDs would NO LONGER be accepted as valid identification to register to vote.
This is a direct attack on the voting rights of Native American communities.

You will read countless times today that the LA mayor cut the LA Fire Department's budget by $23 million.
That is a lie.
The budget was actually *increased* by $50 million.

A wonderful send-off for a beautiful soul.
Today's funeral for President Jimmy Carter is one of the nicest I've seen in a long time.
The speeches were just right, and paid proper tribute to one of the greatest human beings America has ever produced.
Farewell, President Carter.
Thank you for your service. 🙏🇺🇸

Meta literally created a LGBTQ exception for calling someone mentally ill as an insult. You can't do it for any other group except LGBTQ people.
