Attitude is a choice.
Gratitude is a discipline.
Bitterness is expensive.
Nobody accidentally has a great attitude.
Nobody stumbles into gratitude.
And nobody means to end up bitter, it just quietly moves in when you stop choosing something better.
Guard your peace like it cost you something.
Because it did.
#BREAKING: Legendary #Maddow: “We are now about sixteen months into what has been from day one, a concerted and intense targeting of Black Americans specifically by this president and by this administration…When Trump and his top political donor Elon Musk then started just lopping off huge swaths of the federal government…the largest and most egregious cuts targeted federal agencies that employed a disproportionate number of Black employees. Reporter Erica Green wrote about this for…NYT: ‘…nothing had moved backwards in the federal government for Black Americans this quickly or this far…since Woodrow Wilson came in in 1912 and resegregated the federal workforce…”😳
As Congresswoman Brittany Pettersen prepared to speak to the press, her baby in her arms, Congressman Jim Clyburn quietly stepped in. With calm kindness, he offered to hold the child so she could speak with ease - a simple, beautiful gesture of support. ❤️
10 years ago today, a horrific act of racism and hatred took the lives of nine innocent worshippers at Mother Emanuel AME Church in Charleston.
We must condemn and stamp out racism & hate in all its forms. May we remember these nine souls and work towards a more peaceful, just world free of bigotry and hate.
Netanyahu started this war by attacking Iran.
He assassinated Ali Shamkhani, Iran’s lead nuclear negotiator, deliberately sabotaging US-Iran nuclear negotiations.
The US must not be dragged into another illegal Netanyahu war – either militarily or financially.
Obama: Imagine if I had done any of this. Imagine if I had pulled Fox News’ credentials from the White House press corps. Imagine if I had said to law firms that were representing parties that were upset with policies my administration had initiated, that you will not be allowed into government buildings. We will punish you economically for dissenting from the Affordable Care Act or the Iran deal. We will ferret out students who protest against my policies.
It’s unimaginable that the same parties that are silent now would have tolerated behavior like that from me, or a whole bunch of my predecessors.
A true hero has taken his final flight. ✈️ Lt. Col. Harry Stewart Jr., one of the last surviving Tuskegee Airman, has passed at 100. He broke barriers and defended a country that denied him equality when he returned home. His legacy soars on. Rest in Power, Lt. Col. Stewart.
@atrupar Past NPS employee here, not every agency pays competitive wages for jobs requiring degrees or trades, but every employee I’ve ever met takes pride in working for the government.
