Thank you #HeatherCoxRichardson for putting things into perspective...
" On August 6th, Dr. King and Mrs. Boynton were guests of honor as President Johnson signed the Voting Rights Act of 1965. Recalling the outrage of Selma, Johnson said, this right to vote is the basic right without which all others are meaningless. It gives people, people as individuals, control over their own destinies."
Let's not forget that of all the rights Americans enjoy, the #RightToVote is the most consequential!

Love to believe it, but not holding my breath ... It also assumes that there will be another free election in this country. #AdministrationOfGrifters

This is what #MAGA is and about time someone spoke out.
The nerve to have a "privately funded" MAGA-plaque at a library ... Thank you, #ChrisKluwe!

Anyone knows what #KamalaHarris is doing these days? Would sure do some good, if she gave a rally ... Should still have plenty of cash left from the unspent campaign fund.
Heck why not declare that she runs for President in 2028 and start campaigning, flood the news with ads about the latest crimes of Trump, his latest grifting, or his ridiculous announcement? One rally per month would shake things up ... Just saying...
Anyone else having issues getting updates or connecting to Mastodon?

Stay sane and never forget "There is power in a union"
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4CkFPyH8v1c
There is power in a factory, power in the land
Power in the hands of a worker
But it all amounts to nothing if together we don't stand
There is power in a Union
Now the lessons of the past were all learned with workers' blood
The mistakes of the bosses we must pay for
From the cities and the farmlands to trenches full of mud
War has always been the bosses' way, sir
The Union forever defending our rights
Down with the blackleg, all workers unite
With our brothers and our sisters from many far off lands
There is power in a Union ...
Ever wondered why nobody, except from @Bernie ever thought that this should be front and center of your campaign against the ultra-right-wing #GOP?
Let's all hope the Dems have another shot at it down the road ..

80 years to the date, thanks to #MAGAts and people, who thought to not vote for #HarrisWalz was somehow helping Palestine, we're witnessing the #President dismantling all they fought and died for in the Battle of the Bulge... #ThisIsNotNormal
Really hard to "unsee" the weird parallels once you put these images side by side.

"... the world is all messed up. The nation is sick. Trouble is in the land. Confusion all around.
But I know, somehow, that only when it is dark enough can you see the stars.
I don't know what will happen now. We've got some difficult days ahead, but it doesn't matter because I've been to the mountaintop.
... and I've seen the promised land. I may not get there with you, but I want you to know tonight that we, as a people, will get to the promised land." - Dr. King on April 3, 1968 — the day before he was assassinated.
Peace and sanity for #MLKday 2025.

Happy Saturday to y'all!
"When day comes we step out of the shade,
aflame and unafraid
The new dawn blooms as we free it
For there is always light,
if only we’re brave enough to see it
If only we’re brave enough to be it!"
