Former VP Kamala Harris at the memorial service for Rev. Jesse Jackson: "I do think of this afternoon as what it is doing for me to renew my faith in what is possible, fueled by the hope that Jesse Jackson so often reminded us of." Jesse would be proud of what this is doing for all of us.

"We can have democracy in this country, or we can have great wealth concentrated in the hands of a few, but we can't have both." –Justice Louis Brandeis Words spoken many years ago that are just as relevant today. We must continue the fight to get big money out of politics.

Trump nominated a legit white nationalist to a top post at the State Department. I asked him some basic questions about his belief in the “erasure of white culture”. Watch this embarrassing, fumbling answer. Like he has never before been asked to explain his views.

Good morning. The President of the United States was in the middle of the most serious child sex trafficking ring of the last quarter century. He is referenced not a dozen times in the case files. Not 100 times. Not 1,000 times. He’s referenced 38,000 times.

The part that sticks with me is not even his racist post. It’s how fast so many people rush to protect him from responsibility. They told on themselves. The benefit of the doubt appears instantly. The excuses appear instantly. He never earns that grace. It just shows up on demand.

It is really infuriating to see how misogyny really does unite men across the sociopolitical spectrum. And, in so far as the Epstein files go, they sort women into two categories: fuckable or irrelevant. When they near a hint of accountability they complain about not being able to make women prey.

IMMORAL… This drawing was made by one of the 5 year old El Gamal twins. It shows children behind bars with the caption, “I’m 5 years old.” An immigration judge denied them bond, citing “insufficient assets.” These children could remain in detention for years while their case is appealed.

Morning.. Every Republican should look in the mirror and read this Chris Madel GOP running for MN Governor DROPS OUT He recently was in support of Renee Good's Killer but has NOW DROPPED OUT He understands now We can help defeat ICE also by demanding our Senators DON'T FUND ICE ⬇️⬇️⬇️

Star Tribune: “Republican Chris Madel made a stunning exit from the Minnesota governor’s race on Jan. 26, saying he cannot support the national GOP’s ‘stated retribution on the citizens of our state, nor can I count myself a member of a party that would do so.’”

Well, Walz activated the Minnesota National Guard today to protect anti-ICE protesters. Props to the Minnesota National Guard for handing out hot chocolate and donuts to protesters and making people feel safe. This is what trust looks like. To the national guardsmen, thank you for your service.

Minnesota National Guard members have arrived at a federal building and were directed to distribute donuts, coffee, and hot chocolate to anti-ICE protesters. Guard members were issued reflective vests so they would not be mistaken for federal agents.
