Governor Josh Shapiro is back in action just days after the horrific attack

If you pay attention: everything they say they don’t like for Black people: affirmative action, diversity hires, quotas, identity politics, ideological litmus tests, they are trying to mandate and enforce for white people.

Constituents to Chuck Grassley: "Are you bringing back that guy from El Salvador?" Senior Citizen: “If I get an order to pay a ticket to pay $1200 and I just say ‘no’, does that stand up? Because he just got an order from the Supreme Court and he just said ‘screw it’” “I’M PISSED!”

We have to be honest as we assess why so many Americans made this tragic choice. If we refuse to confront the underlying truth — that racism and greed occupy the throne in this country — it is the equivalent of sticking your head in the sand and believing that you’re safe.

On this day in 1909, Matthew Henson reached the North Pole, planting the American flag.

This is Utah in case anyone’s wondering how pissed off people are. I have never seen anything like this.

Can we get more of this? “The Japanese American National Museum will ‘scrub nothing,’ Fujioka said, and instead will highlight the importance of DEI. “Our community is based on diversity, equity is guaranteed to us in the Constitution, and inclusion is what we believe in,” Fujioka said.

Former slave nations in the Caribbean and South America — places such as Brazil and the DR — promoted similar immigration policies and efforts to whiten their populations as well. That context matters here and can’t be separated from fears of losing a white majority. www.nytimes.com/2025/03/30/u...

“We can’t force people to choose us, no matter how much we want them to. Love, effort, and loyalty should come willingly. If someone hesitates to stay, let them go. The right people will always choose you without hesitation.”

A very streaky #sunrise over North Devon this morning. 80 minutes previously, and even this far west, the first patch of light in the sky was at 04.30 GMT and a robin was already singing.

Sunrise and hope. We are taught that anger is a bad thing. Yet, anger is a natural emotion, just like happiness, fear and grief. Acting in the fog of anger, however, will only cause us further pain. If we channel our anger into productive action, we can enable positive change. We own our mindset. 😊

“Tell people how important they are, not because they might leave, but because they’re here now. Every moment counts, and expressing love today can mean more than waiting for the right time.”

It is with a heavy heart that I offer condolences to the family, friends, neighbors, colleagues & constituents of TX-18! We’ve lost another political giant.
