Jesse Jackson was an early and ardent supporter of gay rights. In fact, on July 17, 1984 at the DNC in San Fransisco, the first speech EVER at a national political convention calling for gay rights was delivered by none other than Rev. Jackson himself.
Jesse Jackson was a champion for civil rights, economic justice, and world peace.
I have always remembered his moving call for moral clarity at the 1988 DNC.
My first vote was for Jesse Jackson in the Democratic primary for President.

Rest in power, Reverend Jesse Jackson.
Have loathed Garland for a long time. Validates why.
This government is OURS.
It is funded by US.
That is OUR White House.
WE pay for EVERYTHING.
ALL OF IT.
WE THE PEOPLE are the rightful owners of this nation.
Don’t EVER forget it.
FIGHT LIKE HELL FOR IT.
NEVER give up.
Rep. Jason Crow (D-CO) reacted to Trump personal attorney-turned Deputy AG Todd Blanche discussing the DOJ's intention to appeal the judges decision releasing Liam Ramos.
"Why is the Trump Administration fighting harder to arrest 5-year-old children than pedophiles in the Epstein files?" he posted
Crockett: "Now my colleagues want to be the protectors of girls & women. I didn't hear them screaming this when Renee Good was killed in the middle of the street by the same people the vast majority of you just voted to give more money to. It was a lot of crickets, including about the Esptein files"
John Roberts is out here making Supreme Court clerks and employees sign nondisclosure agreements
Roberts surely knows this raises the question 'WTF is behind the NDA?'
To do so anyway suggests he decided even public speculation is preferable to public knowledge

The Illinois Department of Public Health sidestepped the federal government this week by independently joining the WHO’s Global Outbreak Alert and Response Network (GOARN). It is the second state to do so, after California joined the network last month. trib.al/0ecIsxF
2025 was "one of the most dangerous years on record for LGBTQ Americans," according to a new report.
Minnesota organizers want us to help turn up the heat on the state's biggest regime-friendly corporations. Contact Target, Hilton, Enterprise, Home Depot, and Delta Airlines to demand they take action to get ICE out of our communities FOR GOOD.
I’m a NO — not one more penny for ICE without stopping this violence. Two American citizens were killed by federal agents.
No more roving patrols. No more secret masked police. No more warrantless raids. Investigate and prosecute ICE crimes.
Get ICE out of Minnesota.
(around an image of a masked ICE agent holding a gun) Republicans "One Big Beautiful Bill' nearly tripled funding for ICE. That money came from your benefits: paid for by cuts to reproductive health care paid for by cuts to Medicare & Medicaid paid for by cuts to SNAP paid for by cuts to clean energy projects paid for by cuts to obesity prevention paid for by cuts to disaster response paid for by cuts to energy tax credits

This list won’t let me scroll down to the White House.
(next to an image of Rep. Ocasio-Cortez) “Lying to and screwing over working people so that they can steal from our health care and Social Security and veterans care to pay for tax cuts for the the wealthiest and bail outs for their crypto billionaire friends-there's a word for this: CORRUPTION."
What infuriates me so much about this new operation is that it is literally punishing people for following the rules and showing up to their court hearings. It is so toxic to the basic concept of following the rules.
It is an operation designed by people who hate the concept of the rule of law.
✨ Great response by Amy McGrath. Thank you for not pulling any punches and always supporting your fellow vets.
Ppl w Sjogrens commonly get POTS & other forms of dysautonomia (organ & tissue neuropathies as opposed to neuropathies of skeletal muscle/motor or skin/ sentation)

This is an amazing book. Especially if you have Sjogren’s or other complex, chronic diseases. Lots of practical tools and strategies, especially if you are dealing with unreceptive clinicians.
I am so sorry!
"the state can just summarily imprison someone without filing charges or holding a trial" doesn't just overturn democracy it overturns 1000 years of common law, like throwing out the entire legal system entirely and saying all people in America are the state's property.

"The U.S. Department of Veterans Affairs said Thursday that it will end a mortgage-rescue program designed to help veterans who have fallen behind on their mortgages keep their homes."
Tonight, we forced Republicans to take a simple vote:
Can we all agree that billionaire corporations like Amazon and Tesla - who take home over $1 billion in sheer profit a year - shouldn't get another tax handout?
Republicans said no.
Restore HHS!
This whole conversation about #LongCovid...
Research published in Nature Medicine estimates Long Covid has an annual economic impact of approximately $1 trillion—equivalent to about 1% of the global economy. www.nature.com/articles/s41...
Update: 49 of 49. We just ran the table in what was once one of the most Republican counties in the US.
