“If you're not careful, the newspapers will have you hating the people who are being oppressed, and loving the people who are doing the oppressing.” A classic quote from Malcolm X, who was assassinated 60 years ago today.

Ah yes, focusing on the issues that impact regular Americans.

Van Hollen: "Can you imagine FDR in the middle of WW2 saying to Churchill, 'you know, we're not going to continue to help you until you turn over half of your coal and mineral reserves.' That's not how you behave when you want to support a friend who's under attack by an authoritarian like Putin."

Whatever else emerges in time about the Delta crash in Canada, one thing is certain: the importance & amazing professionalism of flight attendants who safely evacuated the plane in a matter of seconds.

The flying public needs answers. How many FAA personnel were just fired? What positions? And why?

Richest man in the world muses about Jailing reporters, nothing to see here

We could have had a human president right now. We could have been led by someone who went to battle for the most vulnerable and marginalized among us—and not with them. johnpavlovitz.substack.com/p/we-could-h...

Hey DOGE bros - found some of that wasteful spending you were looking for. How many gov employees could have kept working and feeding their families with the estimated $2.5M this stunt cost?

I repeat…

If Democrats are looking for a great, clear, forceful spokesperson while they are in exile from power, this is the person.

The irony of the richest man in the world almost single-handedly destroying an agency designed to help the world’s poor, so that the U.S. federal budget has more room for another giant tax cut for the richest man in the world and his pals, should not be lost on anyone. [Cartoon by Mike Luckovich]

@kk19220.bsky.social Hi there friend!

A pack of dumb foxes, drunk on power, are currently in charge of the safety of our henhouse.

There's a petulant idiot from Queens, New York in the White House who is going to tank the American economy because he's too simple-minded to understand how tariffs work. There's another petulant idiot from Pretoria, South Africa trying to dismantle the US government. Most Americans: ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

Boom!! That’s how it’s done!! 🇲🇽 🇨🇦

Dear Leaders of the Free World, Fight him at every turn. Make his life miserable. Expose his ignorance and sociopathy. Oppose and condemn and marginalize him. The decent people of this nation are not with him. We stand with you. johnpavlovitz.substack.com/p/dear-world...

Unelected Nazi immigrant Elon Musk is deliberately spreading manufactured propaganda & he belongs in prison right now along with his Hitler Youth Hackers 🤬 @schumer.senate.gov @wyden.senate.gov @warren.senate.gov @hakeem-jeffries.bsky.social

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.

Bishop Mariann Edgar Budde is the Christian that Franklin Graham failed to be.

Last month, Sen. Deb Fischer's (R-NE) husband refused to shake the Vice President's hand. Yesterday, he tried to shake Doug Emhoff's hand. The Second Gentleman replied: "Why would you try to shake my hand when you wouldn’t shake my wife’s hand?” REPOST if you love Doug Emhoff!
