@AdyBarkan Ady’s life and activism touched millions of people. Now it’s our turn to show up for him.

One thing you can do to help is make a donation to the GoFundMe set up by Ady’s close friends in support of his family. Can you help spread the word?

1. The new House Speaker, Louisiana Congressman Mike Johnson, is relatively obscure.

But he is now one of the most powerful politicians in America.

Here are some things about Johnson's past that everyone should know

the entirety of Alt Right ecosystem (cross pollination from broadcastTV, Cable TV, social media etc) drowns out the facts and truth.

I’ve spent the last 7 years doing everything I can to fight back against the madness in America. It’s been empowering to know I have skills as an organizer, lawyer, and writer that can help.

But this is the first time I’ve felt like I don’t know what to do… 1/

[CALL TO ACTIVISM @CalltoActivism]

A mother has written a touching note to the teenager who taught her daughter how to use her skateboard and it’s now gone viral:

"Dear teenage boy at the
skate park:

You’re probably about 15 years-old, so I don’t expect you to be very mature or for you to want a little girl on your skate ramp for that matter.

What you don’t know is that my daughter has been wanting to skateboard for months. I actually had to convince her that skateboarding wasn’t just for boys.

So when we walked up to the skate park and saw that it was full of teenaged boys who were smoking and swearing, she immediately wanted to turn around and go home.

I secretly wanted to go too because I didn’t want to have to put on my mom voice and exchange words with you.

I also didn’t want my daughter to feel like she had to be scared of anyone, or that she wasn’t entitled to that skate park just as much as you were.

So when she said, 'Mom it’s full of older boys,' I calmly said, 'So what, they don’t own the skate park.'

She proceeded to go down the ramp in spite of you and your friends flying past her and grinding rails beside her.

She only had two or three runs in before you approached her and said 'Hey, excuse me …'

I immediately prepared to deliver my 'She’s allowed to use this park just as much as you guys' speech when I heard you say, 'Your feet are wrong. Can I help you?'

You proceeded to spend almost an hour with my daughter showing her how to balance and steer, and she listened to you – a feat not attained by most adults.

You held her hand and helped her get up when she fell down and I even heard you tell her to stay away from the rails so that she wouldn’t get hurt.

I want you to know that I am proud that you are part of my community, and I want to thank you for being kind to my daughter, even though your friends made fun of you for it.

She left the skate park with a sense of pride and with the confidence that she can do anything, because of you."

Democrats should seize on the Hunter Biden gun charges to pass universal background checks... call it Hunter's Law and then force Republicans to vote against it.

It's much worse than that. They nuked all the t dot co links. Every single thing linked out to before April 2014 — be it an image, video, Vine, or linking to any other site — is now a dead link.

respected conservative @judgeluttig tells me in a lengthy sit-down, "Any leader, Republican or Democrat, who has not spoken against January 6 and the former president's role in it has betrayed their oath" and should be replaced by the voters https://t.co/zuoYSFPk9g
