BTW, it’s even more impressive when you remember she was running against Josh Kraft, Bob Kraft’s son (as in owner of the New England Patriots, Boston royalty) who dropped out after the primary.

LeVar Burton delivered this testimony in 1995 urging Congress not to cut funding for public broadcasting.

His words remain true 30 years later, as Senate Republicans advance a bill that would slash funding for PBS and NPR.

Tell your senators to oppose these cuts: (202) 224-3121.

No Kings Day was one of the largest days of protest in US history. From deep red small towns to our largest cities, millions of people turned out to make it clear that the American people will not bow to fascism. #NoKings

One of the greatest deceptions of our time is the false narrative that we should be more concerned about a poor person misusing the welfare system or an immigrant being here illegally than we are about the ultra wealthy abusing the system and cruel people having unchecked power over all of us.

According to a study by Penn Wharton, Trump's "big, beautiful bill" that pays for tax breaks for the rich by cutting Medicaid leads to a $700 LOSS in income for the working class, a $1,000 LOSS in income for the poor & a $389,000 INCREASE for the top 0.1%.

We must defeat it.

“After school shootings, many Republicans try to shift the public conversation away from gun violence and toward mental health programs that might make mass shootings less likely. Student mental health grants had bipartisan support.

“Trump is cutting them anyway.”

Student mental health grants had bipartisan support, but Trump is cutting them anyway
There’s no good reason for the Trump administration to cut grants for student mental health programs. It’s happening anyway.

We tried mass tariffs in 1828, and it crashed the economy. We tried again in 1930, and it crashed the economy.

Third time’s the charm, I guess.

Joe Rogan breaks with Trump, calling Venezuelan deportations ‘horrific.’

The criticism was notable as prominent conservatives have generally been reluctant to speak out against the Trump administration.

Happy International Women's Day. This is a time to remember those who came before us to pave the way and those who continue to break the glass ceiling. The photo shows the hardhat and metatarsal safety shoes I wore while working at Bethlehem Steel's Sparrows Point Plant back in the 70s.

If you're in SC (or even if you're not), this is a good organization to donate to so that your money can be used for direct, positive action that helps people in desperate circumstances.
Your reminder that if you’re looking to donate to organizations fighting the good fight, please donate to local, state, and regional abortion access, community defense, and other mutual aid funds.
We are dealing with numerous emergency appts at once right now and would appreciate any solidarity you can send in the form of $$:
