On this last day of Black History Month, I want to appreciate the everyday day resistance of US slaves before 1865. Without their resistance and resiliency, it would be impossible for me and millions of black Americans to be birthright citizens of the United States. www.linkedin.com/posts/steve-...

I could never imagine having a billion dollars and not giving away as much as possible. Don’t understand how that doesn’t appeal to people.

Those in power are threatening our economy, our rights, and our standing in the world. And they are counting on us growing complacent. We cannot let that happen. Read my op-ed on staying engaged and fighting back.  buffalonews.com/opinion/tim-...

Any journalists that want to write about DISP being suspended? We are ready to counter all of the bogus Republican narratives about this ‘diversity scholarship’.

I’m so tired of this ‘mandate’ BS and ‘the American people said…’ nonsense. Trump didn’t win a majority of the popular vote, and beat Harris by one of the smallest popular vote margins (1.5%) in US history. If you factor in turnout, he got the votes of less than 1 in 3 eligible voters in the US.

Important to see how much this funding freeze will affect the humanitarian sector.

A LOT (a LOT) of dictators in the past grabbed power with something claiming to be "temporary."

Preach.

When a single billionaire can accumulate more money in 10 seconds than their employees make in one year, while workers struggle to meet the basic cost of rent and medicine, then yes, every billionaire really is a policy failure. Read our op-ed here ⤵️

I can't process how cruel this is. USAID has plenty of problems but this is money that is already committed under contracts, in many cases for basic needs for very vulnerable people. Food, education, health care.

Peace in #Myanmar cannot come from dialogue & negotiation with the junta in any guise. #ASEAN leaders must promptly cut political, economic, and military ties with the junta and support meaningful and inclusive processes by legitimate representatives of the Myanmar people. See more: bit.ly/3CzUDUt
