History is more than just a person’s name or an event, it is a signifier of the zeitgeist, lives of peoples, the realities faced, the movement of culture, and ideas blooming and dying. Erasure of history is minimizing and denigrating contributions with the intent of following with demonization.

This is a lie. We all saw the video. The Senator clearly identified himself, and he did not "lunge" toward anyone.   If these miserable propagandists will lie to you about roughing up a U.S. Senator in a room full of reporters, what won't they lie to you about?

Via @acvollers.bsky.social and @stateline.org: Nationwide, most rural hospitals no longer offer obstetric services. Since the end of 2020, more than 100 rural hospitals have stopped delivering babies, according to a new report from the Center for Healthcare Quality & Payment Reform.

"But it is not enough for me to stand before you tonight and condemn riots. It would be morally irresponsible for me to do that without, at the same time, condemning the contingent, intolerable conditions that exist in our society." - Martin Luther King Jr.

Read every word. “But there’s no sidestepping a president deploying the military in an American city based on ludicrous falsehoods about a foreign invasion. Indeed, it’s hard to think of a clearer signpost on the road to dictatorship.”

It started with erasing our histories. Now, legal recourse against racism is taken away. For those thinking it’s only the black and brown people who will be diminished, they will come for you also. Stand together or become oppressed together, before it’s too late.

This is your regular reminder that executive orders are not royal decrees. Because America has no king.

This is getting fewer headlines than it should. After coming to power promising to help working people, the president is revealing his real priorities by actively making it easier for banks to rip people off.

This action of our government is plain wrong. There is a human cost to our domestic policy. There is also a moral cost which we have to bear. Our word counts for nothing. Anyone else feeling gravity pull us down a slippery slope of no return?

Please repeat over and over: “Bending to the whims of a bully will not end his cruelty. It will only embolden him. The response to authoritarianism isn’t acquiescence. Bullies respond to one thing, and one thing only: a punch in the face.” —Gov. JB Pritzker

The possibility of abduction by a sovereign and imprisonment abroad is one criterion that separates democracies from dictatorships. The Declaration of Independence called the British king tyrannical for transporting Americans, “beyond Seas to be tried for pretended Offenses.”

Skipped the paperwork. Ignored the court order. Broke the law. Ignored the constitution. This ain’t immigration policy. This is straight-up defiance of the rule of law.

It doesn’t seem to me that authoritarianism discriminates. Everyone is subject to its whims. No one is safe or exempt. If you think disappearances are a thing other governments do, you are not seeing the plain truth in front of you.

One of many powerful signs at the peaceful protest today in Lenexa, KS. I estimate 1200 people attended on this cold and dreary day. The energy of the crowd was palpable. The air was electric with determination and resolve.

The wages of the richest 1% have skyrocketed 182% since 1979.  Meanwhile, the wages of the bottom 90% have seen just 44% growth.  Trickle down economics was always a hoax.

Sen. Booker’s speech was a substantive and moral account of this moment. He did not read the phone book. He did not babble. For 24 hours @booker.senate.gov laid out a detailed, damning, and critical narrative of truth, history, politics, morality, humanity. What will you do?

At the heart of why this state Supreme Court race became such a big deal is simple: partisan power to determine the future of voting rights and fair elections. www.democracydocket.com/news-alerts/...

It’s time for bold leadership in the Senate. I can see @CoryBooker as the next Minority Leader. Smart. Honest. Fearless. Visionary. He doesn’t just talk about the moment—we’ve seen him rise to it. Leadership requirements evolve. This moment demands change. Let’s get serious about what’s next.

Our government is supposed to protect and help us lead better lives. Yet our president and his supporters and enablers are actively harming people by taking away their livelihoods, destroying institutions which make us healthier and enrich our minds, and eroding our civil protections. Unacceptable!

Courage is contagious. Hear him, Senate. Hear him, House. Hear him, Americans who want an America which works for us all. Hear him, those who are tired and worried. Then, speak your truth for us to hear you. We have addition and multiplication to fight those who would divide and subtract us.

I take everything 47 says literally, neither figuratively nor as hyperbole. It’s time to see the path our nation is going down as it is. We are in big trouble. The Constitution is little more than a suggestion. Morally and ethically we are bereft. Law and order are figments of a failed imagination.

Why aren’t Democrats losing their minds over this? Beyond the national security implications, this is another example of the incompetence and danger of this administration. Even I know this ought to be Democratic talking point #1 until the next unforced error by the GOP. Get with it Good Guys!

Erasing history is more than hiding a narrative. It is the deliberate devaluing of those that contributed to that history. It is a direct attack on the humanity and dignity of the groups being maligned. It is furthering marginalization. It is moving our heroes to a lesser class of citizenship.
