Reading about yet another woman who took action against this regime and immediately remembered the words that destroyed the Goblin King in Labyrinth. "You have no power over me." Say it loud and proud.

Trump treats the words “groceries” & “affordability” like a foreign language and posted 30 times about his marble toilet as he builds a $300 Million ballroom while fighting in court to starve Americans and take away health care - but y’all think he cares about working people?

Netanyahu issued this statement because Israel just bombed journalists in a hospital, then bombed the rescue workers that showed up on live TV, and he knows anyone with a conscience will be horrified.
That’s not a “tragic mishap”. And there will be no “thorough investigation”.

Re-sharing something I learned yesterday: when they autopsied Andrew Goodman, they found traces of red dirt in his lungs.
Which meant he may still have been alive when the Klan buried him in that earthen dam in Neshoba, Mississippi.
History should make you uncomfortable so you don't repeat it.
