Wow. This is one of the most courageous and patriotic things I've ever seen. Nezza is more American at heart than all the lawless ICE goons & bullies combined. I am grateful to have heard this beautiful young woman singing her heart out... for America.
Singer Nezza was told to sing the national anthem in English at the Dodgers game - she sang it in Spanish anyway. The crowd cheered as she finished “The Star-Spangled Banner” en español 🇺🇸🇨🇴🇩🇴
The Spanish version was commissioned by the US govt in 1945 to foster better relations with Latin America.

We absolutely must not forget what this administration did to Senator Padilla, because it tells us what they are willing to do to us.

Does anyone realize that the opposite of DEI is segregation, conformity, inequity, injustice, bias, discrimination, exclusion, and omission. Why would anyone want to go back to these?

BREAKING: A federal judge reversed National Institutes of Health's terminations of hundreds of critical research grants that were canceled because of their alleged connection to disfavored topics, including diversity, equity, inclusion, and gender identity.
This is a major win for public health.

@smith.senate.gov: "They try to pretend that this violence, in this case in Minnesota, was actually driven by left wing ideology, when that is clearly not what is going on here... Let's be honest, here we have Donald Trump, one of the first actions that he took was to pardon the insurrectionists."

Guys, it's the oligarchs. If you want to blame someone for 2024, blame the oligarchs. Anyone telling you to blame someone else is part of the oligarchy. Dark money has been to blame since citizens united.

The biggest endorsement I can make for Bluesky is that replacing Twitter with this app on my phone probably improved my general mood when I’m on my phone by 20-25%. I know there are better reasons but it is what it is!
