"It is in the interest of every American citizen to take an active stand in defense of our immigrant neighbors. Because once the Trump administration decides that they have no rights, then neither do we." #PrayForAmerica www.theguardian.com/commentisfre...

This has aged better than me.

My fear is we may never get our morals back after this criminal regime has done everything in its power to destroy the very fiber of decent society. Hope I am wrong. #MomSky When this is over, U.S. rights abusers must be tried for crimes against humanity www.inquirer.com/opinion/comm...

Can’t believe it’s #america 💔

I said it before and I’ll say it again: Target not only turned its back on diversity it spit in our faces. My wife and I haven’t been back since January — and we won’t be. We take our money where people like us are seen, valued, and respected. Solidarity ✊🏿✊🏾✊🏽✊🏻

Dachau 2.0 #Resist

The guys who love the Second Amendment skipped the First Amendment. This is a travesty. #Resist

THIS, caught on tape.

The fascist purging of the military continues apace.

Yup.

This is not an original idea.

The origin of the Irish Wake.

Just read. Or listen. And spread, since journalism in the USA is under threat.

Of course they did.

Forcing people to pay $130 for a passport in order to vote is just a Jim Crow poll tax by another name. It is blatantly unconstitutional.

With measles spreading across the country, the Illinois Department of Public Health unveiled a new online tool Wednesday that allows people to look up measles vaccination rates and data about the risk of outbreaks at individual schools across the state.

The 10% tariff alone is a $2500 per household annual tax hike!

Question: Do you drop 10 years for each tip you use? If so, that would put some women back to the cradle. Worth a try, I guess, but you'd need to know when to stop.

Elizabeth Freeman, born into slavery c. 1744, was the first Black woman to successfully sue for her freedom in Massachusetts. An important but not well-known civil rights hero. #BLM theberkshireedge.com/massachusett...

This guy was educated by Jesuits (Boston College High School), who must not have noticed that he skipped all the classes where they discussed Jesus' teachings.

Here's a good idea.

The chaplain’s sermon in “Battleground”, about the 101st Airborne in the Battle of the Bulge; was the fight against fascism necessary?

Get involved locally and change your part of the world for the better.

Charlie is quite downcast today because he thinks A.I. is going to take his job.

Superb interview. Eisgruber is the model of what an American #university president should be at this moment.
