When I was born, the Voting Rights Act didn’t exist yet & white & black Freedom Riders were being assassinated in the South. Little black girls were being killed in Alabama church bombings. Never could I have imagined than in only 60 years, the Supreme Court would make the hard-won Voting Rights Act no longer enforceable. That I’d see federal voting rights for blacks and abortion rights (won in 1973) for women rolled back after barely a generation. I am so disgusted by my country. #votingrights

Pam Bondi’s firing is meaningless. The damage to the Dept. of Justice is done, and certainly her replacement won’t be charged with cleaning up the mess she left. If she’s replaced by another, more competent lackey, it’ll just be more of the same: turning a blind eye to white collar crime, corruption and lawlessness and alienating any remaining Justice Dept. employees who have any shred of decency and integrity. #pambondi #doj

@jeffowski it is TRUE.

Pay attention. ICE at airports now. ICE at polling places next. #ice #intimidation #votersuppression

Just thought I’d re-boost this from 3 years ago. Always a good reminder of what our forefathers & foremothers sacrificed for us. It’s time for us again to make some of our own sacrifices to save our democracy.

@StillIRise1963 Something non-violent. A one-day, mass walk-out from schools, homes and workplaces. We all wear purple pins, badges or other signage with the symbol for Prince & the Revolution. En masse singings of "Let's Go Crazy"...

The Corporation for Public Broadcasting was officially dissolved today after 58 years as the primary funder for PBS, NPR and local public TV and radio stations. Private funding sources will have to pick up the slack going forward. Give generously to your local stations, if you can. #cpb #NPR #pbs

No words. Epstein's letter to Larry Nassar (the gym coach convicted of molesting gymnasts) describing what they have in common with TFG. #pedophiles

Your call is important to us. #pardons #crimes

@WarnerCrocker Happy Thanksgiving, Warner!

@StillIRise1963 It would be like during early Covid pandemic days when we banged pots and pans at the same time in the evening to show thanks for the front-line workers. We can do this.

@lrt_writes @WarnerCrocker Avoid online shopping & shopping malls. I think we can all do this for just one day, if not longer.

My hero, Jane Goodall has passed away in California while on a speaking tour in the US , of natural causes. We need to continue her legacy of empathy towards all creatures on this Earth and heed her warnings to protect our planet. May she rest in peace. I am so saddened by this news. #janegoodall

We are witnessing the effective secession of Blue states, with lawsuits against using uwanted National Guards; proclamations permitting off-label use of Covid-19 vaccines; and on and on. What's next? #bluestates #secession
