KAY FRANCIS (1906 - 1968) at the train station in 1929 #filmsky #classicfilm

“We can disagree and still love each other unless your disagreement is rooted in my oppression and denial of my humanity and right to exist” James Baldwin

President Trump is firing American workers who monitor bird flu outbreaks, safeguard nuclear facilities, and now those who promote American history in Dorchester – all to help pay for tax breaks for billionaires and giant corporations.

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

Knowledge is power…

Don’t lose hope. Remember, Watergate took over two years to fully unravel from the initial break-in to Nixon’s resignation. Just like then and now, Americans are losing faith in their government. We are documenting every illegal action and will hold this administration and Elon Musk accountable.

A remarkable self-portrait by photographer Marianne Breslauer, Berlin 1933.

Received a letter from POTUS today purporting to remove me as Commissioner and Chair of the FEC. There's a legal way to replace FEC commissioners-this isn't it. I've been so fortunate to serve the American people and stir up some good trouble along the way. That's not changing anytime soon.

I’ll boost it. 💜

I keep seeing folks understandably point out that there are Democratic lawmakers who are scared to speak out for fear of retribution. I'm sympathetic to that. But also: no reasonable adult would begrudge a lawmaker for giving up their seat for someone who's willing to speak up. That's their job.

So yes I do know there's a lot going on in the world right now but I also want to share that these photos of Nina Simone & James Baldwin in current National Portrait Gallery show on Baldwin and voices of queer resistance are giving me LIFE npg.si.edu/exhibition/j...

FUN FACT: trump CAVED yet again today, this time to Canada, to postpone his tariffs another 30 days. The border security plans Canada is enacting were ALREADY planned while President Biden was in office.

Happy Black History Month, and yeah, we're still doing that.

I posted this back in March of last year. Even more relevant today—and I still feel the same.

Go Charlotte💜

Well done, people. www.linkedin.com/posts/kathle...

Good.

This is a slap in the face to American women. Pete Hegseth has a track record of disrespecting women service members, and multiple credible sexual assault allegations. Our troops deserve better.

Fedgde. #TooLate.

Pete Hegseth is the most unqualified nominee for Secretary of Defense in modern history. He should be rejected by the Senate.

What do we live for, if it is not to make life less difficult to each other?

Permanent mood.

Happy MLK Day.
