I'm just going to quote President Obama's message today:
"Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr. dedicated his life fighting for equity and justice. He taught us that even in the face of intimidation and discrimination, we must never stop working towards a better future – a lesson that feels especially relevant today.
Change has never been easy. It takes persistence and determination, and requires all of us to speak out and stand up for what we believe in. As we honor Dr. King today, let’s draw strength from his example, and do our part to build on his legacy."
ICE needs to be defunded, disbanded and investigated for the crimes committed by them in Minneapolis and elsewhere. Johnathan Ross needs to be arrested for the murder of Renee Nicole Good.
No doubt the United States needs an immigration department as well as immigration officers, but the stain that ICE has brought to America from Christie Noem through Homeland security has been nothing, but it’s disgrace and needs to be terminated. They found out the hard way that Americans don’t like to be subjugated by Brown shirt, Gestapo and masks getting thrown in unmarked vehicles, etc..
The ICE acronym needs to be eliminated and a new department that understands the value of human life. All human life.
Also, the officers who denied a doctor's request to render medical assistance to Renee and the officers who refused to move their vehicles to allow an ambulance to reach her need to be prosecuted as accomplices to her murder.
I cannot fathom the level of human deprivation that allows someone to refuse medical assistance to a dying woman!!
It’s just sickening how that all went down with Renée. That guy is a murder and he needs to pay for what he did. Have you seen? His on go fund me with three accounts totalling about $1 million I went onto each one of them and filed a report he’s a murderer. They’ll get him he’ll pay for that crime he can’t hide forever.
I didn’t see that he had gofundme accounts set up, but unfortunately I can't say that the amount donated surprises me. Maga will do anything to perpetuate their hatred!
I look forward to your daily insights Mr Dworkin. You clearly keep up each day with all the crap trumps is pulling up from the gutters. please continue.💙
Anyone who has recently been hired needs to GO. The ICE Gnome needs to be impeached. The interview she had on Sunday was a blatant LIE. There is NOTHING, ABSOLUTELY NOTHING, that she or anyone in that chain says that can be believed. And the FOTUS just acts so disengaged from his cabinet and that is because he gets all his direction from Miller. He concocts and prepares all executive orders based on Project 2025 objectives.
We need to remind ourselves of Dr. King’s full initiatives, which were considerably more advanced than what we have accomplished. We are going backward under Trump. Noem lies as much as her boss Trump, and like JD Vance, Noem is a lousy liar. I am delighted to see the world telling Trump no, and we need to do it also with much more emphasis. Gov. Spangenberger is doing the right thing by reinstating DEI.
I have always loved that other countries make their feelings and thoughts about trump known to the whole world. I love all protests against trump, and I know trump is just the symbol for all of his administration. Keep on keepin' on!!
My response to any politician who quotes MLK, but doesn’t act on his message: MLK exuded COURAGE. For the sake of Americans and the rest of the world, show COURAGE, stand up and fight for Democracy.
Abigail Spanberger is 💯% on target. She is savvy and action packed for the betterment of Virginians and an example for all governors.
Yes. It's a staging maneuver "covered up" by the Minnesota story. They think they're being clever, but it's obvious to anyone who knows a little about the military and tactics.
Starting to look like a false flag from people who can see with their eyes and have their own information that our armies are aimed for Greenland where they say the first 10,000 US soldiers who hit the beach will come home in body bags. How you like that sh#t MAGOTS!?!?!?!
I have been thinking exactly the same thing. Leave it to a draft dodger to play war with other people's lives/country. I don't know how we would recover from such an unjust invasion.
We won't. This has severe reverberations worldwide that will be irreversible. It will change everything, not to mention most importantly that country has already been through an invasion once, they don't deserve to fight it again.
Just the thought of him doing something so awful has me so upset. He is such a poor excuse for a human being. I hope and pray that republicans come to their senses and stop him.
When I read they were all specially trained for arctic cold or something like that, I was thinking "well Minnesota is cold but....". Now it makes sense.
Dolly turned 80: Icon, Ally, Legend—Today the patron saint of rhinestone-covered radical kindness turns 80. Nine times she's come out swinging for LGBTQ+ rights: from writing "family is family" in 1991, to calling out Christians for judging, to defending trans bathroom access ("if I have to pee, I'm gon' pee"), to gifting a bejeweled guitar to Texas drag queen Brigitte Bandit during the state's anti-drag crusade. She wrote "Travelin' Thru" for Transamerica. She made sure marriage equality was policy at Dollywood after staff turned away a lesbian patron. At 80, she's still teaching us that fierce love isn't soft—it's steel wrapped in sequins.
How can we best respond to politicians who post MLK quotes today but are firmly against everything Dr. King truly stood for? To hell with them. They are liars.
What do you think about the anti-Trump protests abroad? We should heed them, because they know our country better than our President does.
What are your thoughts about how Gov. Spanberger kicked off her new administration?
This day brings us another opportunity to stand up for justice and equality and fight back against racism.
Do not despair, sit, cry, wring hands. Get out today wherever you are and join us on the streets while you still have that opportunity, given to you by those with COURAGE.
I think the protests in Greenland are awesome! I’m glad The Felon is getting a reality check from the rest of the world. But honestly… I am absolutely cringing with humiliation! The hats… “make America Go Away.” I used to travel a lot. Now I’m too ashamed to go anywhere 😭
To honor Dr. King, don’t accept politicians who disrespect every color, every race, every man, every woman. Governor Newsom was the catalyst who woke us up. And we did. We have Gov. Walz, Mayor Frey, Gov. Pritzger, Gov. Spanberger to name a few of our heroes.
We owe it to each other to disobey unjust actions.
“As citizens, we knew we had ceded some of our individual rights to society in order to live together as a community. But we did not believe this social contract included support for an immoral system. Since the people invested government with its authority, we understood that we had to obey the law. But when law became suppressive and tyrannical, when human law violated divine principles, we felt it was not only our right, but our duty to disobey. As Henry Thoreau strongly believed, to comply with an unjust system is to accept abuse. It is not the role of the citizen to follow the government down a path that violates his or her own conscience.” - John Lewis

Go Abigail, go!

Yes that should be prosecuted as murder too
AGREE! Impeach this Ice Barbie

I worry the 1,500 paratroopers in Alaska are really meant for the invasion of Greenland and are not going into Minnesota. What do you think?
Yes. It's a staging maneuver "covered up" by the Minnesota story. They think they're being clever, but it's obvious to anyone who knows a little about the military and tactics.
Starting to look like a false flag from people who can see with their eyes and have their own information that our armies are aimed for Greenland where they say the first 10,000 US soldiers who hit the beach will come home in body bags. How you like that sh#t MAGOTS!?!?!?!
I worry for ALL who are serving and their families! But yes. This.
I have been thinking exactly the same thing. Leave it to a draft dodger to play war with other people's lives/country. I don't know how we would recover from such an unjust invasion.
We won't. This has severe reverberations worldwide that will be irreversible. It will change everything, not to mention most importantly that country has already been through an invasion once, they don't deserve to fight it again.

agreed, I just listened to The Black Spy Podcast
I've been a paid subscriber to his Substack for a long time. He's usually dead on.
If Trump tries this, we could well be looking at a large regional war, if not WW III.
That seems to be the intent ... Rumors abound!!!
Also heard the conjecture from Malcolm Nance who is heading to Greenland... Luv this AI video of who will be protecting Greenland 💚
https://youtu.be/hS0wFiWpU4U?si=aDBK-zmTHoK02jmd
You're right. That video is awesome!
Please share... It's amazing, but also a hit of reality!!!!
I definitely don’t like this. The insanity never takes a day off.
When I read they were all specially trained for arctic cold or something like that, I was thinking "well Minnesota is cold but....". Now it makes sense.
Greenland makes way more sense than Minnesota. God help us
Delighted by Spanberger's initial actions in office. More Dems need to be so bold (I'm looking at you, Schumer and Jeffries).
Scott, the most sensible thing I could write today:
was to quote Lorde:
"I am not free while any woman is unfree, even when her shackles are very different from my own." — Audre Lorde

That said though....

Along with Betty White and her love of all things animal, Dolly is the patron saint of all things people. Love her so much.

Say you’re Canadian.
Yes—it's sad that Americans are being painted with the same brush as Trump.

1. Call them out and specifically name votes they cast or speeches they made.
2. Profoundly upsetting and embarrassing.
3. You go, girl!
