Black-and-white historical photograph of civil rights marchers walking across the Edmund Pettus Bridge in Selma, Alabama. John Lewis appears near the front wearing a trench coat and tie, surrounded by fellow activists. Overlaid text at the bottom reads: “Get in good trouble, necessary trouble.” — John Lewis.

John Lewis knew that progress doesn’t come from comfort. It comes from people willing to stand up, speak out, and make good trouble.

He did it when it was dangerous. He did it when it mattered.

Congressman. Civil rights icon and voting rights champion who changed history.

Black History. Always. 🖤

Hey y’all, the UN Human Rights Council announced on 2/17 that the Epstein files suggest a “global criminal enterprise” that meets the legal threshold for Crimes Against Humanity. They said resignations are not enough, and everyone involved should be prosecuted.

They raided the jailed children to steal their letters.

The problem, in federal officials' minds, wasn't confining children in prison-camp conditions; it was that the children could tell the public about it.

When the hosts of The Motley Fool podcast said—and I quote—“No one knows what tariffs really are” I immediately stopped listening. If this liberal arts major can easily explain them, it is no great financial mystery.

Christian Nationalists are treating the Epstein files like they treat their Bibles and our Constitution: They are *ignoring* them.

Counterpoint:

Don’t upload your medical records to any LLM.

That’s fucking insane.

How about because the @nytimes.com didn’t include any Black women? C’mon now. 🤦‍♀️

No Black women on that panel? Then the @nytimes.com failed to represent the Democrats’ base.

CBS again bent the knee to Trump and blocked Stephen Colbert from hosting Texas Democratic state Rep. James Talarico.

It's wild to see the display of how limited NYT's resources are that they couldn't find a single Black woman.

Really struggling.

So no black women? Yes we had to have the perspective from the Whole Foods/Hot Yoga voting bloc.

Counterpoint: Any Democratic focus group that does not include at least one Black woman is fatally flawed from the very start.

Early voting has started in the March 3rd Texas Democratic primaries! If you vote early in Dallas County, you can vote at ANY available voting location across the county! Take advantage of this great opportunity and get out there and #VOTE 🗳️

This is crazy. The government — or fear of the government — is editing a CBS comedy show. Via @brianstelter.bsky.social

"Yesterday, Stephen Colbert taped a 'Late Show' interview with James Talarico, a candidate in the Democratic Senate primary in Texas, but then CBS lawyers intervened."

Once upon a time NBC (CBS & ABC) fought back. Nixon filed retaliatory lawsuits and tried to revoke FCC licensing, his aides secretly threatened and intimidated network personnel while VP Agnew publicly accused networks of elitism. It almost worked to silence and censor. Then Watergate. #nocensorship

Donate what you can, even a couple bucks helps. No one anywhere should go hungry, and no one in America should ever be too scared to obtain groceries.

Border czar Homan says small security force to remain in Minnesota Tom Homan did not provide details on the size of the force to remain, days after declaring an end to the immigration enforcement surge in the Twin Cities area.

President Trump’s border czar, Tom Homan, said Sunday that a “small” security force will remain in Minnesota to support immigration operations, even as the surge of federal agents there is set to end soon.

Right-wing Heritage Foundation’s own data shows fewer than 100 noncitizens voted since 1982 (!!!)

Someone has sure already made this observation but the fact they can convert all those empty warehouses into prison camps means they could have converted them into housing, community centers, job training centers or, hell, libraries or schools all along. It’s always a matter of will not resources.

Ghislaine Maxwell, a convicted child sex trafficker, gets gardening time, sports, therapy dogs, and spa products in prison.

Migrant children in custody are sleeping on concrete floors without enough food or clean water.

Our priorities are so fucked.

After The White House claimed for more than a year that Bob Woodward and Carl Bernstein were making up "fake news" and creating fictional sources, here they are watching President Richard Nixon resign on television. God bless great journalism and great journalists.

“I Have Been Here Too Long”: Read Letters from the Children Detained at ICE’s Dilley Facility Hundreds of children are currently being held with their parents at an immigration detention center in Dilley, Texas. In letters and drawings, eight kids convey the pain of feeling trapped with no end...

ProPublica received eight handwritten letters from children who have been held at the detention center that 5-year-old Liam Conejo Ramos was recently released from.

We'll let their words speak for themselves.

Moskowitz: By the president’s own metrics, what accomplishments does Noem have?

• She’s holding up 200 miles of border wall.
• She’s deported fewer people than Obama.
• She’s not helping any of these red-state governors with their disasters.

Why hasn’t he fired her?

If we have enough money to buy another country then we have enough money to ensure nobody is homeless or goes hungry.

Chief U.S. District Judge James Boasberg in Washington, D.C., on Thursday ordered the trump administration to "facilitate the return from third countries" of Alien Enemies Act deportees who "desire" to come back to the United States as habeas cases proceed.

Election denier involved in fake electors plot wrote much of SAVE America Act, Trump-aligned think tank claims “I’m here to do everything I can to make this work,” Thomas Lane wrote in a December 2020 email to other organizers of the Trump campaign’s fake electoral plot in Arizona.

🚨BREAKING: An election-denying former Donald Trump campaign staffer who was subpoenaed by the FBI over his role in the attempt to steal the 2020 election is now taking credit for writing the sweeping voter suppression bill passed by the House Wednesday that could disenfranchise millions.

Two Days On The Hill: ICE & Pam Bondi Writing this newsletter isn’t always easy.

Tuesday was the ICE oversight hearing. Today was Pam Bondi’s. I watched them both for you. The bottom line: There are (mostly Democratic) members of Congress who understand how important the moment is & they are standing up and showing courage. open.substack.com/pub/joycevan...
