LIVE UPDATES: Winter weather continues to impact mid-Missouri A Cold Weather Advisory has been issued for Sunday night into Monday morning for most of mid-MO.

I want all of you to know today and always that your loved ones need you more than you need anything from the store.

Always err generously on the side of caution in matters of safety and welfare.

Love to all this sad Sunday as we grieve another senseless loss of life.

Do not allow their efforts in life to extinguish in death.

America's attention is now more fully drawn to matters of:
--Lost Freedoms
--Police Brutality
--Gun Violence
--Cruelty to Immigrants
--Trump and Miller's hypnotic vitriol

Let not their sacrifices have been in vain.

I am very open minded European socialist. We work collectively to raise up one another. With family, I build structures in United States. We are not ashamed of sexuality or expressing it and embracing it. Christian conservatives should run away!

We fought the fascists already. Now Trump. 🇺🇦⚧️

You see, friends and neighbors, we have a government and gun problem. It has not been good under ANY administration. Keep sucking that Blue crackpipe--they don't care either. It's all money, crime, grift.

We need a 100% reset. Get money and self-interest out of politics. Fix our cities and.....

To your point, many Americans suspected as much. The current officeholder seems to prefer to conceal motives whenever possible rather than be honest and direct.

I am wanting to share Europe perspective on Greenland and what is clear to most of us.

Trump draws attention to Greenland to manipulate allies to invest in its protection.

We dislike Trump not because we think he considered invasion, but because this was manipulation, not diplomacy.

Trump doesn't want to back down. His ego won't let him. He's going to alienate our European allies.

Daily Beast: ICE is taking credit for arresting people who were already behind bars to sell its Minnesota crackdown as a success.

I'm tired of the lies. I'm tired of waiting for Democrats in Congress to step the fuck up!

As always, Dr. King's message is right on time. Today calls on all of us to hear his wisdom and put it into action.

In the face of hatred, Dr. King inspired us to build a society filled with hope, kindness, and love for our neighbor.

Together, we must continue to work to enact his vision of equal opportunity for all.

On MLK Day, we’ll hear a lot of quotes from people actively dismantling his legacy, including the Civil Rights Act and the Voting Rights Act.

Dr. King’s work was never finished. It was interrupted.

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.

It's neat that electeds are finally talking about impeaching Noem after we've literally seen ICE murder someone while recording themselves doing it, but she's directly responsible for a lot of deaths at this point, including FEMA mismanagement.

It's lazy is all.

I do not recall addressing you, nor asking for your input.

There has been no failure to understand anything on my part. When I witness, within our movement, a man act crudely toward a woman from a position of chauvinism, be assured I will speak of it.

You will not tell me to quit anything.

Something has been upsetting me these last few days. A man who insists he progressive, treated a fellow member of the platform with great dismissiveness. Very crude belittlement. When confronted, he grew angry and hostile.

It is possible to be progressive and practice good manners.

A black-and-white historical photograph of Jane Bolin, the first Black woman to serve as a judge in the United States. She is seated formally at a judge's bench, facing the camera with a calm and composed expression. Her dark hair is neatly styled and pulled back. She wears a short-sleeved, dark polka-dot dress with a V-neck collar. In her right hand, she holds a pen poised over a document on the desk, while her left arm rests beside it. A wooden gavel lies to her left on the bench. Behind her is a large, high-backed leather chair with studded trim, and the setting conveys the authority of a courtroom environment.

In 1939, Jane Bolin became the first Black woman to serve as a judge in the US.

Bolin was also the first Black woman to graduate from Yale Law School & to join the NYC Bar Association & the NYC Law Department. She died #OTD in 2007. #history #firsts #law

The American government has gone completely rogue and should be considered armed and dangerous to the entire American population.

This is NOT normal, not acceptable, and most importantly, it's NOT LAWFUL.

TEST ME, TRY, SEE IF IM STEERING YOU WRONG.
