Again, please share. In every aspect of American history you will run smack dab into the critical contributions of Black people. It’s not Black history. It’s American history. Trying to erase it is a fool’s errand. We live it every day. time.com/5836444/blac...

Needless to say that Renee Good and Alex Pretti will go down as heroes here in Minnesota and nationally, their names synonymous with sacrifice and caring for vulnerable neighbors even at the risk of your own life. And hopefully no more innocent lives are lost.

January 6 in History Wrote this two years ago: “If the insurrectionist-in-chief returns to power without ever facing any real consequences and while explicitly declaring his intent to establish a vindictive autocracy, then January 6 will have been successful.” And here we are.

steady.pageJanuary 6 in HistoryWas it a key moment in the republic’s eventual demise or a milestone on the road to democracy’s ultimate triumph? The meaning of January 6 is yet to be determined

A quiet rule change at the US Postal Service just raised the stakes for both voting & health care and most people haven’t heard about it yet. As of this week, a postmark is no longer based on when you drop mail in a mailbox It’s based on when the mail is first processed by an automated USPS facility

Brett Kavanaugh (September 2025): The facts and how they relate to the law don’t matter. Assume ICE and other federal forces always act with integrity, always respect rights, and consistently impose minimal burden. Brett Kavanaugh (December 2025): Should I not have done that? Was that wrong?

Kavanaugh in a footnote in today's opinion says "the officers must not make interior immigration stops or arrests based on race or ethnicity."

So. 🤦‍♂️ I get it. Make a statement and count on people having zero critical thinking skills. Because this? Is BS. "The first group knew nothing and cut Epstein off before his crimes came to light" Yeah, next...

WHERE ARE THE PEOPLE!? Where is Congress? Where are they? I want to film this for my kids & my grandkids. I want them to see the day democracy died in Washington, D.C. Even George is upset 🦮 & we should all be shocked! No one is here to say this is wrong! I was born here. I'm Andrew Howard. 1/5🧵

Rand Paul tells me that he wants the full video of the Venezuelan boat strike released. “And I think if the public sees images of people clinging to boat debris and being blown up, I think that there is a chance that finally, the public will get interested enough in this to stop this.”

The president has illegally declared war to stop fentanyl trafficking from a country that does not traffic that drug, claiming its leader is trafficking drugs himself, the day after pardoning a former leader of a country who is a convicted drug trafficker. Just to level set

Breaking: An Epstein survivor just silenced press conference attendees when she delivered the following remarks: “Today we stand in a moment that will decide whether our government belongs to the American people, or to those who prey on them.”

The Epstein coverup will go down as one of the greatest scandals and miscarriages of justice in U.S. history. Everyone involved with Epstein’s victims or with the coverup needs to be prosecuted and go down in shame. It does not matter if they are GOP or Dems! Repost if you agree. #BlueCrew

Noem spent over $200 million in taxpayer dollars to film videos over 2xs last year’s budget. The money was funneled using a “no bid” contract to an unknown LLC created days earlier and is tied to the husband of her deputy at DHS. #ProudBlue#Voices4Victory #OneV1 apple.news/AZPU7INIQR3C...

The American political class is so disconnected from voters that they don’t realize that regular folks are totally down with a giant pan partisan jail cell holding everyone involved with Epstein’s crimes. #uspoli

NEW: Amid concerns over the Biden administration's regulation of the crypto industry, billionaire tech investor Marc Andreessen, a longtime Democrat, donated more than $5 million to groups supporting Trump ahead of the 2024 election. Since then, he's gotten what he called for: a hollowed-out CFPB.

It’s Paying Off for Silicon Valley.The Trump administration’s gutting of the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau has been good for venture capitalists like Andreessen, who previously accused the agency of “terrorizing” fintech startups and crypto companies.

Nearly 8 in 10 Americans agree that spending by wealthy donors and corporations in our elections gives rise to corruption — including majorities of Republican and independent voters. Money in politics is the root of our dysfunction. We must overturn Citizens United.

Let’s talk about ICE. This post is long, but it’s worth reading to understand how to protect your right to privacy. It might sound extreme, but everyday Americans may soon want to consider face coverings for reasons far beyond health or fashion.
