Remember: Almost all of us are the descendants of immigrants who fled persecution, or were brought to America under duress, or sought better lives for themselves and their descendants.

Politicians who stoke fear and hatred over immigration want you to forget this.

Do not.

They recovered over 180 bullet shells at the CDC. Debris from shattered glass is still being cleaned up. I am completely stunned at how quickly the news cycle has moved on. This was an act of terrorism targeting public health experts, and the response seems to be a collective shrug.

Hands Off! Saint Paul, MN

Just saw my book, “White Too Long” was purged from the US Naval Academy library.

Bono: "The bludgeoning of PEPFAR and USAID, one of the most eloquent expressions of American values ever created, might be America’s most spectacular act of self-sabotage in generations. US assistance had its flaws...but it was as close to poetry as policy gets."

What a different world we could have.

This is the way.

Heartbreaking news… Tonight, many of our friends were let go, and tomorrow, even more will follow. Word is that all probationary employees at NPS will be let go. 😭

To America’s 2.3 million federal employees:

Don’t accept a buyout.

Neither Musk nor even Trump has the legal authority to make such an offer.

And even if they did, would you trust them to follow through on it?

Former U.S.Secretary of Labor

USAID is a criminal organization,” Mr. Musk wrote on Sunday in a social media post that many aid workers saw as confirmation the agency would soon be absorbed into the State Department and that some viewed as a potential threat to their personal safety. “Time for it to die.”
THIS HAS TO STOP.

I support this.

Democrats must use every lever at our disposal to block his illegal takeover and shutdown of an essential government agency.

In case you missed it, a Wisconsin judge this week struck down former Gov. Scott Walker's Act 10 law.

The move will restore public sector workers' collective bargaining rights.

This is a moment of celebration and hope in these troubled times.
