some of you once again need to watch this video
And roughly the same proportion of them were activists in the 1960s, etc (some in the 50s) as are activists now among younger folk.

We can't find solutions until both political parties are working from the same set of facts. If an alt-right groyper was behind Kirk's murder, it is in the GOPs best interest to recognize that even the right isn't safe from itself. The focus must be there.

I need everybody who reads this to do me two favors:
1) re-skeet it so that others see it.
2) *call* your congresscritter's office on Monday (find them here: www.house.gov/representati...) and tell them you want them to support the "Protect America's Workforce Act" and demand the Discharge Petition.

At no point in this entire article of 16 paragraphs does ABC mention that another cop killed this cop by shooting her in the back. Nor does it mention the name of the cop who killed this cop. Nor does it mention that the civilians involved never fired at them.

ABC might as well be state media.

The usual caveats that this was never a true or full democracy and was built on the back of slavery and genocide, which is why we’re here now.

But it also was built on democratic principles, and it was grown by those who fought the above with such incredible bravery. We can’t forget it.

Every now and then it hits me that this isn’t just about 1 inhuman act or another, but a bigger picture.

That the entire democratic experiment in America is falling apart in front of our eyes. It’s historic in that sense. Which then makes me wonder why all media stories aren’t framed this way.

As a former D1 athlete & professor, I think a lot about the health of collegiate women’s sports. You know what comes up a lot? Realignment & travel. NIL & social media toxicity. Impending funding issues due to employment & $ redistribution. Know what’s never come up organically? Trans athletes.
