[Sen. Cory Booker @SenBooker]

The Trump Administration and Republicans in Congress are putting profits over people. They are trying to gut Medicaid and Medicare, programs on which nearly a third of our country rely –– all to pay for tax cuts to billionaires and corporations.

[Aaron Rupar @atrupar]

Booker: "I confess that I have been imperfect. I confess that I've been inadequate to the moment. I've confess that the Democratic Party has made terrible mistakes that gave a lane to this demagogue. I confess we all must look in the mirror and say 'we will do better.'"

[Lilly @lillybilly299]

When my mother first moved to Japan, she tried to jaywalk while pushing a stroller on an empty residential street. She was immediately stopped by an old, well dressed Japanese man who solemnly told her in perfect English "the downfall of society begins with the individual"

My ex would say personal things in front of other people all the time. Like talking about my period… why?!!!

[Shadows of Control @shadows_control]

They will take your most personal and vulnerable things and use them to exert control over you. #manipulation #emotionalabuse #coercivecontrol

@gggirl924 The fact that I didn’t get Gamma’s beet recipe is a regret.

[SAG-AFTRA @sagaftra]

Raise a glass this holiday for the late Helen Gallagher, who starred as 'Ryan's Hope' matriarch Maeve Ryan for all 13+ years. The Emmy and Tony winner ('Pal Joey' & 'No, No, Nanette') was a Broadway triple threat: singer, dancer and actor. May she #RIP.

That’s because Julius Rosenwald who was President and owner of Sears, started over 5000 schools for blacks in the south during segregation, pre 1954. It was not just the Sears merchandise, it was the Sears mission. Blacks were friends to Sears because Sears was a friend to us!

@carolinerenard_ He’s always made me feel funny under my clothes, before I had words for it.

[AFRICAN & BLACK HISTORY @AfricanArchives]

These are actresses from the 1950s. Hollywood started to adapt to the changing times and social narratives, and Black actors were earning better roles than the stereotypical ones that plagued them in previous decades.

[Really American 🇺🇸 @ReallyAmerican1]

WATCH Rep. Melanie Stansbury issue a fantastic, full-throated repudiation of Trump's mostly unqualified clown car cabinet, and Republicans' attempt at modern day McCarthyism.

No, the gentlelady will NOT yield. 🔥🔥🔥

[Charity Thomas @cheeski74]

I was singing this theme song for the movie & was like…what?! After a relistening -it could use some updating. But it’s a frequent ear worm.

[Sassington, M.C. @MissSassbox]

Tyler Perry just gained Katt Williams as a movie studio owner/arch nemesis and this was the news I needed today. 😭😭😭

[Charity Thomas @cheeski74]

This was a fun read & I saw it in the movie theater in the movie & had the soundtrack on tape & CD.

[All The Right Movies @ATRightMovies]

CARLITO’S WAY was released 31 years ago this week. Among the most popular films of director Brian DePalma, as well as its star Al Pacino, the story of how it made it to the big screen could kill you faster than a bullet…

bell hooks: "We have to constantly critique imperialist white supremacist patriarchal culture because it is normalized by mass media and rendered unproblematic.”
