The new Jim Crow will be defeated like the old Jim Crow.

We were tired then, but not defeated.
We are tired now, but we will not be defeated.

Weeping may endure for a night, but the morning is coming.

We won! Hundreds of thousands of people who are currently detained and separated from their families in lower-level cases will be released from jail every year. An incredible victory for liberty and public safety. You can read the historic decision here: https://t.co/BEpc4DUhzT

@bubbathefish Congrats @bubbathefish! Well deserved! 🎊

[Rep. Ilhan Omar @Ilhan]

Republicans sent ICE a whopping $75 billion through their Big, Ugly Bill last year.

This week, the House is voting to send MORE money to ICE.

This rogue agency murdered two Minnesotans in broad daylight. ICE shouldn't get a single penny—it should be abolished. I'm voting NO.

Lowering the voting age to 16 for local elections? It’s more likely than you think…

[Disa Lindgren @WingedAbalone]

Stop this! Contact your elected representatives at the federal level to tell them NO!

[Alec Karakatsanis @equalityAlec]

There is no easier or more important political position to take than to do everything possible to stop this. It will change our society forever, and Democrats are going along with it.

[Disa Lindgren @WingedAbalone]

@equalityAlec Stop this! Contact your elected representatives at the federal level to tell them NO!

Due to federal budget cuts, PBS News had to make the difficult decision to rework our staffing and programming.

This Sunday, our PBS News Weekend team will sign off the air.

Roald Dahl on Measles: Olivia, my eldest daughter, caught measles when she was seven years old. As the illness took its usual course I can remember reading to her often in bed and not feeling particularly alarmed about it. Then one morning, when she was well on the road to recovery, I was sitting on her bed showing her how to fashion little animals out of coloured pipe-cleaners, and when it came to her turn to make one herself, I noticed that her fingers and her mind were not working together and she couldn’t do anything.

'Are you feeling all right?' I asked her.

'I feel all sleepy,' she said.

In an hour, she was unconscious. In twelve hours she was dead.

The measles had turned into a terrible thing called measles encephalitis and there was nothing the doctors could do to save her. That was...in 1962, but even now, if a child with measles happens to develop the same deadly reaction from measles as Olivia did, there would still be nothing the doctors could do to help her. On the other hand, there is today something that parents can do to make sure that this sort of tragedy does not happen to a child of theirs. They can insist that their child is immunised against measles.

...I dedicated two of my books to Olivia, the first was ‘James and the Giant Peach’. That was when she was still alive. The second was ‘The BFG’, dedicated to her memory after she had died from measles. You will see her name at the beginning of each of these books. And I know how happy she would be if only she could know that her death had helped to save a good deal of illness and death among other children.

Roald Dahl, 1986

The longer I work in psychiatry, the more & more I'm reminded that poverty is one of the most harmful factors (if not the most harmful factor) affecting peoples' mental health.

🌠So glad you are here to stay, Rep. Ilhan Omar! The Somali community has every right to be here and adds to the beautiful and valuable diversity of this country. 🌠

Ilhan Omar: “Our President’s obsession with me and the Somali community really is creepy and unhealthy. I am not someone to be intimidated and we are not going to be scapegoated. We are here to stay”

The news has entirely failed to grasp the unprecedented scope of the ICE and DHS budgets. Nothing like it in modern history. An entire galaxy of public and private surveillance and caging institutions for $100,000,000,000s unleashed on a public that will be forever changed.
