Today’s American History Lesson: Puerto Rico has been part of the U.S. since 1898, and Puerto Ricans have been U.S. citizens since 1917 🇵🇷 🇺🇸
We’ve cheered many non-Americans at the #SuperBowl. Bad Bunny isn’t one of them.

For those wondering where I’ve been: I have been diagnosed with Stage 4 pancreatic cancer, commonly referred to as a “death sentence” and had two other serious ailments which put me in ICU for several days. It was sudden. I’ve literally been on my back for weeks. Bless you all.
Powerful tribute to #ReneeGood. Artist Noval Noir painted a live portrait of her to honor her life at the memorial in Minneapolis. Art speaks when words fall short. We must continue to tell her story and Say Her Name.
The ENTIRE planet watched the videos, from ALL angles, of Jonathan Ross murdering Renee Good in Mpls — in front of her wife and their dog.
This admin is asking the ENTIRE planet to ignore what we saw.
Their attempt at gaslighting is futile.
We’re beyond that now.
The Proud Boys are now ICE agents.
Neo -Nazis from Charlottesville are now ICE agents.
The 3%ers are now ICE agents. This is the America the Republican Party voted for. They are pleased with the warrantless raids, detaining US citizens, racial profiling, and violence. America.
FLASHBACK — ROB REINER: “This is just the beginning, and people have to understand our democracy is being taken away from us. We have a year before this country becomes a full on autocracy… Trump knows in a free and fair election he will lose.” #RIP#Legend

One month a year is not sufficient to celebrate the power of the movements and the people who have fought for the rights we enjoy today. That’s something that we have to do each and every day, as we strive to live up to their example and make sure our children and grandchildren remember their stories.
USAID has been fighting disease, feeding children, and promoting goodwill around the world for six decades. As this article makes clear, dismantling this agency would be a profound foreign policy mistake - one that Congress should resist. https://t.co/MSsgZ82QbX
60 years ago, a group of brave civil rights organizers marched across the Edmund Pettus Bridge in Selma, Alabama in the pursuit of justice and equality. Today we’re reminded of their courageous sacrifices, and tasked with the responsibility of doing what we can to carry forward their work.
