Trump removed Medgar Evers, a fearless veteran and civil rights leader, from an Arlington Cemetery website commemorating Black soldiers. Now the Pentagon may strip his name from a naval vessel. This isn’t about “military preparedness.” This is about erasing history.

If you’re watching @maddow.msnbc.com’s A Block you understand that people who stand up for other people can change the course of those people’s lives & our history. We have the power to refuse Trump’s path forward. Protesting actually works. Let’s go.

so so true.

Trump doing a trade war:

The internet is so quick

Last night Russia attacked a European capital with ballistic missiles and hundreds of drones. Today the story barely registers in international news headlines. Western normalization and acceptance of Russian atrocities in Ukraine is what makes them possible.

Witnessing the death of an innocent Black man caused this country to reflect. However, the subsequent "racial awakening" proved to be short-lived contrarian.substack.com/p/it-took-am...

Buried deep in the text of the more than 1,000-page bill is a measure to restrict the federal courts’ authority to hold officials in contempt if they violate court orders.

Trump is talking about shuttering publications and networks he disagrees with. He's talking about deporting and imprisoning Americans who dissent. This is unprecedented and undemocratic. Wake up America.

Senator Sanders and Reps. Ocasio-Cortes, Jayapal, and Khanna rising to the occasion.

I’m recruiting volunteer lawyers to defend these children against a President trying to defund their lawyers. We have to insist they are equally under the law. Reply if interested. Immigration, custody, dependency experience all helpful. You’ll work with Jewish Family & Community Services.

Charity Adams Earley (12/1918–1/2002) was a US officer. She was the 1st Black woman to become officer in the Women's Army Auxiliary Corps(WAC) & was the commander of the 6888th CPD Battalion, made up of Black women during WWII. Adams was the highest-ranked Black woman in the Army by war completion.

When we see these eyes, we have no choice but to help. #DogsOfUkraine 🇺🇦

So much profound beauty in our world. But it seems the forces unable to see beyond their own wealth, power, and egos are in the ascendant right now. It's our duty to mind ourselves and each other in these tough times, which may well get much worse. The living world depends on us never giving up. 🌍

Hey Democrats, it’s a bar fight. Defeating Trumpism/MAGA and defending democracy, decency, the Constitution, and the rule of law is a bar fight. Put away your PowerPoints, put away your Robert’s Rules of Order. This is a fucking bar fight Democrats. Time to get nasty. You in?

Spotted in Canada…

I love her #JasmineCrockett

I know many have a problem with cable and legacy media, but in case you’re in the mood for some bluntness and facts please tune into @msnbc.com at 7pm ET. There are other folks on with me— but I’ll drop some fact bombs for you. What I won’t do is do some mealy-mouthed shite. I’m not a pundit.

Thousands of Californians lost everything in the Palisades and Eaton Fires. Now, many of them are left in limbo, struggling to obtain the insurance benefits they've paid for. I'm calling on insurance companies to provide answers – and solutions – for my constituents.

Fun fact about Trump tariffs you won’t see in 99% of the reporting: Trump tariffs are illegal. Congress controls tariffs just like tax rates. President can change a tariff only for national security emergency, meaning war.

Justin Trudeau gave the exact kind of press conference today that we have been waiting for from our Democratic leaders. Watch it and learn from it. No gimmicks, no stunts, no script, no platitudes, no slogans, no games. Just straight talk, honesty, sincerity and facts.

I keep returning to Chad- 13 times so far Climate crisis hit Africa hard. In some areas it hasn’t rained for years. Crops wont grow. Ppl starve. Babies die first. If an aid group comes, they bring life saving nutrients & medicines. Now USAid is shuttered, countless children will die
