“War and the threat of war has covered us with heavy shadows, Making the days big with forebodings— The nights crowded with frenzied dreams and restless churnings. We do not know how to do what we know to do. We do not know how to be what we know to be.” #HowardThurman

I write this on Thanksgiving but decided not to offer two posts on the same day. open.substack.com/pub/leslyesl...

🧵 Lowe's CEO, one of 8 Black Fortune 500 CEOs, stands firm on DEI. "Championing Diversity Through Action: Ellison’s approach to diversity, equity, and inclusion (DEI) is rooted in practical change rather than public statements" Home Depot, meanwhile, allows ICE agents to raid its parking lots.

Do not become desensitized to the depraved cruelty and injustice. That is what they want. Continue to feel empathy for the targeted, and righteous anger towards those perpetuating attacks on human dignity, our democracy and the Constitution.

The journalist who got this scoop and reported it is a former U.S. Army infantry soldier and Iraq War vet

Staten Island honors Dorothy Day: Memorial Mass marks anniversary and push for sainthood

CT’s announcement framed her appointment squarely in the legacy of Billy Graham, who founded the magazine in 1956 “to see the church more faithful to Christ and the world more drawn to him.” @ChristianityToday.com #NicoleMassieMartin baptistnews.com/article/chri...

Newly released emails show the FBI spent almost $1 million in overtime analyzing the Epstein files as part of an effort dubbed the “Special Redaction Project."

📌Most white people look at this violent, draft-dodging, pussy-grabbing, America-attacking, lying, racist convicted felon and see a president. 📌The rest of America just sees a violent, draft-dodging, pussy-grabbing, America-attacking, lying, racist convicted felon.

Don’t know how I missed this news report. “In a little-covered but striking speech last week, the president of Portugal—the centrist leader of a NATO ally—referred to President Donald Trump as “a Russian asset.”” #russianasset slate.com/news-and-pol...

Response from Rep. Jasmine Crockett

Am surprised that neither DJ or JD attended Cheney’s funeral. Is this setting a new precedent for the funerals of DJ and JD?

Found this 2019 clip from 100 days after Jamal Khashoggi was killed. I was asked by @glamour.com’s Sam Barry what I would say to Mohammed Bin Salman if I had the chance to face him again (I have met him twice). Here was my answer.

My four-year term as Board chair of NETWORK Advocates recently ended. I am proud to share with you NETWORK’s Dilexi Te Reflection Guide. Dilexi Te is the first apostolic exhortation by Pope Leo XIV. #DilexiTe www.networkadvocates.org/dilexi-te/?l...

You might not have caught what just happened on the Senate floor, but the Senate just “deemed as passed” the Epstein resolution. That means as soon as it arrives from the House, it automatically passes the Senate (with no amendments) and heads to the President’s desk. Wow.

This is bullshit! What are the charges? 📌 Border Patrol arrested two women for allegedly honking their car horn to alert others of the agents’ presence

National PSA Calling for Release of ALL the Epstein Files The time is now! Call your member of congress and tell them to VOTE YES on the Epstein Files Transparency Act. #EpsteinFilesTransparencyAct #EpsteinFiles www.worldwithoutexploitation.org

Amazon announced 14,000 layoffs. Its CEO made over $40M last year. UPS announced 48,000 layoffs. Its CEO made over $24M last year. Intel announced 20,000 layoffs. Its new CEO's pay package is valued at nearly $69M. This is what I mean when I say the system is rigged.

NPR reported this morning that, based on their review of the #Epstein emails released yesterday, Trump’s name appeared more than 1,000 times in the document— "I have met some very bad people, none as bad as #Trump. Not one decent cell in his body." - Jeffrey Epstein

Notice how nobody in the Trump regime ever asks, “But how will we pay for it?” when it comes to priorities that benefit them?

Grateful for the woman in a brown body, Adelita Grijalva, for boldly speaking truth to her colleagues in Congress after having her swearing in unjustifiably delayed by Mike Johnson.
