Humbled and proud to be among this peaceful crowd of patriotic people who love their country and its democracy and despise the wanna-be king.

@adriennemareebrown.bsky.social The late Dr. Paul Farmer on hope. youtu.be/PINxZQwde54 "If you're not poor, or sick, or dying," and you give into despair, "it's giving up on behalf of other people. ... It's not intellectually shallow to have hope. It's a profound thing."

Thank you @adriennemareebrown.bsky.social for your compelling, heartfelt conversation with the @miamiuniversity.bsky.social community today. 7 pages of notes. "Hope is like a muscle. I have to work it out. I have to go looking for hope." Much valuable, human insight. Thank you.

USAID isn’t just foreign aid—it’s a powerful tool for America’s security, influence, and values. Cutting it weakens us while empowering our adversaries. I’ve seen its impact firsthand. Watch my video and share with those who care about America’s future. 🇺🇸👇 adamkinzinger.substack.com/p/weekend-mo...

Here, I fixed the NFL’s end zone messaging problem for the Big Game. If Commissioner Roger Goodell is afraid of offending the president with “END RACISM,” how about this design as an alternative?

Cincinnati, Friday night, only hours after handful of masked neo-Nazis hang flags and banners on I-75 overpass in north suburbs near historic Black village of Lincoln Heights. Majority Latino crowd demonstrating for immigrant rights chants, “Cincinnati make it clear, Nazis are not welcome here.”

7:43 p.m. Pro-immigrant rally and march winds down at Fountain Square, Cincinnati. Chants: “Shut down ICE!” “Cincinnati make it clear, Nazis are not welcome here!”

Lamenting what could have been.

Now, more than ever.

Fact.

"Goodbye to my Juan, goodbye, Rosalita, Adios mis amigos, Jesus y Maria; You won't have your names when you ride the big airplane, All they will call you will be 'deportees.'" -- Woody Guthrie, 1948 www.youtube.com/watch?v=gtig...

@profjeffries.bsky.social: Students living in Cincinnati for 3-week J-term, serving in public health, anti-poverty, employment, public interest law firms, anti-hunger, Black weekly newspaper. Sixth cohort. MLK program was class outing.

This is what democracy and patriotism look and sound like. “Lift Every Voice and Sing,” @mlk2025.bsky.social Cincinnati commemoration. Not that coronation and celebration of American oligarchy in Washington.

12 of my @miamiuniversity.bsky.social social justice students and I heard one of the most riveting, detailed, and precise speeches, "Hard History," today at Cincinnati @mlk2025.bsky.social social commemoration from @profjeffries.bsky.social. "History," Dr. Jeffries said. "Not opinion."

Legacy media normalizing fascism in the name of profit.

Love seeing #booksky trending and booming!

We so messed up as a country in failing to elect her.

RIP Jimmy Carter.

Human Rights Day. Commemorating adoption on December 10, 1948, by every country of the United Nation’s Universal Declaration of Human Rights. Not antiquated, worthy of fighting to live out daily, as we embark on another four when these aspirational ideals will be actively attacked.

BREAKING: In an unprecedented move, more than 75 Nobel Prize winners have signed a letter urging senators not to confirm Robert F. Kennedy Jr. as head of the Department of Health and Human Services. It's the first time in history that Nobel laureates have come together to oppose a Cabinet choice.

Love this photo. It both warms my heart and hurts my heart.
