let me say that this is the classic “just asking questions” approach to delegitimizing the achievements of black people. and critically, you don’t even have to be a black person who talks about race. simply being black to these people means you are “obsessed with race.”

Americans deserve a President who doesn’t bow down to Putin - we need leaders who will stand up to Russia and stand with Ukraine.

Good news.

This is so many words to say Trump fired the chairman of the joint chiefs because he’s black www.nytimes.com/2025/02/21/u...

Here’s what Democrats did today (February 21):

He's saying Trump is the law. Trump is king. L'Ă©tat, c'est Trump.

This is going to go on at many universities - the uncertainty will lead to fewer graduate programs. It will hobble scientific research which appears to be the goal.

My staff has received reports that because of the Trump Administration staff cuts, the National Park Service Maggie Walker Site can open only twice a week… during #BlackHistoryMonth. Today I joined Virginia Delegation members to call for the reversals of these cuts.

As the White House turns its sights on the USPS, I want to explain a little bit about Alaska and bypass mail. A lot of times when the media writes about bypass, it is in this context - AK is getting something no one else gets & abusing it. (This is from 2014). /1 www.theguardian.com/world/2014/j...

I spent about an hour today and last Friday holding a protest sign on a busy street in my little 'burb. This week 2 friends joined me :) LOTS of positive responses, and only a handful of negative ones. It feels good to "do something". Think about what you can do.

A must read.

They arrived at the United States border from around the world, hoping to seek asylum. Instead, they were detained, shackled and flown by the U.S. military to a faraway country, Panama. Our exclusive look at a new front in Pres. Trump’s immigration crackdown:

Absolutely ridiculous, and they absolutely know it. They love the cruelty of it all. Gotta hope karma is a big bitch.

The only word for this is evil.

I want to take a moment to give a big shout out to my dear friend, @grandmaboo.bsky.social for her diligence and commitment to protesting the current administration. She is out there walking the walk by engaging with pedestrians, and drivers alike in her community. Sign holding is under rated!

Incredible stuff in here: They ID'ed him, in part, by going to court hearings and watching him post

They screwed this all up.

Good news.

Republicans are introducing a bill to raise your bank fees. The legislation would roll back President Biden’s rule that capped overdraft fees at banks and credit unions. This would be a major gift for big banks and billionaires.
