Blue-tinted portrait of civil rights activist and labor leader A. Philip Randolph with his quote: "Justice is never given; it is extacted, and the struggle must be continuous for freedom is never a final fact, but a continuing evolving process to higher and higher levels of human, social, economic, political, and religious relationship."

Acknowledged as the greatest Black labor leader in American history, A. Philip Randolph founded the Brotherhood of Sleeping Car Porters and was a pioneer in advancing racial equality within the labor movement. #BlackHistoryMonth

UAW graphic celebrating the start of Black History Month

Every February, we celebrate Black History Month to honor the enduring determination and immense contributions of Black Americans throughout our nation's history.

In 2026, we can’t take the easy path by giving in to despair. We have to keep doing something to be ready for the moment the right combination of events align and we can see a better future.

My takeaway from every new Epstein revelation is that some powerful people victimized many powerless young women, many more knew, some actively enabled it--and we're still being told that MeToo and accountability for sexual violence have gone too far

An unwrapped tamale.

Yesterday, when Bovino announced ICE would be returning to Little Village today, some of us donated and fundraised to buy out street vendors in the neighborhood. This morning, volunteers hit the streets at 6:30 am, looking for vendors to buy out. Tamales make an excellent breakfast.

Mayor Elect Zohran Mamdani is STILL out chatting it up with the people. He was trying to do content but the voters kept popping up.🥹

Why do Kristi Noem and her ICE agents keep KILLING DOGS?

“.. The administration ‘has all but declared that all Latinos, U.S. citizens or not, who work low-wage jobs are fair game to be seized at any time .. and held until they provide proof of their legal status to the agents' satisfaction.’”

- Sotomayor

Important reminder for today

Leaked documents confirm it: what happened in MacArthur Park yesterday wasn’t about safety. It was about theater.

A photo op. Propaganda. Intimidation.

No known arrests. They weren’t after violent criminals. They were after headlines.

“This isn’t fucking Germany you fucking punks.”

Can Americans Just Stop Building New Highways? A new book argues that the expansion of the US roadway network has exacted social and environmental costs that far outweigh the benefits.

"Eventually, we want to decommission roadways. Over time, people will drive shorter distances at lower speeds, which are safer. As things shift, you’ll have more people in cities, and more transit proposals that look good." @mndot.mn.gov

Who are the more than a dozen Republicans waffling in the bill, so we can call them?

I’m not really sure at what point we decided that major corporations needed a 70%+ profit margin. But to scare people by saying they will have to raise prices is crap. Pay more corporate taxes, lower prices and be happy with a 40%+ profit margin.

I’ve spoke quite a bit over the past several days about proper firearm usage and how these “cops” have no clue how to properly handle and control a firearm.

But here it is from a former OEF United States Marine, whose dad just happens to be the victim of ICE.

Zohran Mamdani’s Mandate Is A Democratic Earthquake There will now be a high-stakes battle to define the meaning of the New York mayoral candidate’s historic win.

Marco Rubio needs to be asked whether he believes his grandfather who remained in the U.S. after receiving a deportation order from our govt should have been treated the way the father of 3 Marines was treated by ICE this weekend in California.

ASK HIM. Make him confront his lack of character.

NPR Migrants Captured In Libya Say They End Up Sold As Slaves March 21, 2018 6:27 AM ET Heard on Morning Edition By Ruth Sherlock, Lama Al-Arian

Today the GOP justices on the Supreme Court endorsed migrants being sold into slavery.

They'll claim otherwise, but that's the reality — today's decision permits Trump to send people from countries around the world to any global hellhole that accepts a U.S. financial incentive.

This is also relevant data. w/ @gregsargent.bsky.social

If you need cheering up, here is my favorite feature of Frederick Douglass’ home in DC, which I visited today: his “growlery,” where he would escape to read, write or fume. What I wouldn’t give for my own growlery

Donald Trump bombed Tehran, started a war with Iran.

🎓 Look how they form a circle around the man.

Let the air out their tires to prevent ramming others. Then make a kettle so that backup cannot get to them.

Give up the man and they can walk peacefully to their backup.

😮‍💨 Just silly angry about all of this.
