The Prime Minister of Canada gave a better 9/11 tribute than the President of the United States. Really worth a listen.
25 years ago, on a clear September morning, an otherwise ordinary day became one of history’s darkest.
Through the darkness, we also saw the best of humanity.

Wry proud of this contribution, particularly in this period of misguided attacks pretending that social disparities don’t exist.

“Give me your tired, your poor,
Your huddled masses yearning to breathe free,
The wretched refuse of your teeming shore.
Send these, the homeless, tempest-tost to me,
I lift my lamp beside the golden door!"

Donald Trump absolutely hates this SNL video. It would upset him bigly if you reposted it.
He thanks you in advance for your cooperation! -DJT

This is why it is important to say the first woman and first black man who went to the moon instead of just people. If you still don't get it, you dumb af.

At the first women-inclusive Olympics in Paris in 1900, 22 women competed. Since then, about 62,000 women total have competed in the Summer and Winter Olympics.
Only one of them was a trans woman. Just one. She didn't medal. She didn't even rank.
One trans woman out of 62,000 women athletes over 126 years of the modern Olympics, and no medals.
This ban on trans women isn't about fairness. It never was. It's about politics and pandering. It's about the IOC needing to get in good with the Trump admin.
It's about a needless "solution" to a problem that didn't exist in the first place, and history will not be kind to this embarrassing abdication of morality and ethics.

Congratulations are in order for Democrat Emily Gregory for winning her Florida State House 87 race. She just flipped a deep-red seat that includes Trump’s Mar-a-Lago.
November is coming.

What Trump & MAGA don't seem to understand is that NATO comes to your aid (like 9/11) when you're attacked, not when you do the attacking. These people are damn idiots.

As ICE "withdraws" from Minneapolis, remember, they killed 2 citizens, abducted little boy in bunny hat & terrorized residents for a month. And still couldn't provoke riot to invoke martial law.
Will go down as one of great non-violent displays of resistance in recent US history

Per tutti quelli che criticano Lindsay Vonn, scrivendo che "non avrebbe dovuto gareggiare", "è stata incosciente", "con quel ginocchio lì..." bla bla bla, e che probabilmente non hanno mai messo un paio di sci ai piedi, ecco il momento che compromette tutto: un braccio dentro il paletto, alla ricerca aggressiva della linea migliore possibile. Il ginocchio non c'entra nulla.
Spero sia chiaro adesso.

TONIGHT IN MINNEAPOLIS IS UNREAL:
CNN is stunned.
“I’ve covered many protests… I’ve not seen a crowd like this before.”
It’s 8 degrees. Freezing. Brutal.
And still, nothing is stopping these people.
That’s not performative outrage. That’s conviction. 🔥✊🏾
