My thoughts and prayers are with the families of representative Hortman and her husbands.
Gov. Tim Walz says Democratic Rep. Melissa Hortman and her husband were shot and killed last night in “a political assassination.”

On this day in 1968, Martin Luther King Jr. was assassinated in Memphis, TN a day after delivering his powerful “I’ve Been to the Mountaintop” speech.

We must continue pushing his vision for liberation forward.

The material need NOT be “classified” for criminal liability to attach (but hard legal standard to meet - “gross negligence”)

Further investigation to see, among other things, if this method had been used before is necessary

And the likelihood that this material is, in fact, classified is great
‘It is highly classified’: Hegseth leaked sensitive attack details, former officials say
Hegseth and the White House have denied sharing classified information or war plans.

Serious issue:

Steve Witkoff was on the Signal chat -- while in RUSSIA

Was he using a VPN while on Signal?

If not, then Russia likely had FULL ACCESS to the entire group chat.

Figured I’d hop on here today for the 15th anniversary of the Affordable Care Act.

With everything going on right now, it’s easy to feel like regular folks can’t make a difference – but the ACA is a reminder that change is possible when we fight for progress.

I had to compose myself before posting—because this breaks a part of my soul.

If you’re a contractor with a segregation policy, say it loud—so non-white dollars don’t fund your business. It won’t go how you think.

And if anyone uncovers businesses doing this, put them on blast.
