I will remember Tony Bennett joining the March from Selma to Montgomery for Voting Rights in 1965. He performed, under the threat of violence, for those fighting for their rights. Harry Belafonte asked him to join the movement. We lost both of these icons months apart. God Bless

Holy shit. The outrage & anger we see from VP Kamala Harris right here over Florida wanting people to believe that slavery BENEFITED enslaved people is what all of us should be feeling. This is the Kamala Harris we must see more of. So good.
Interesting fact: Tony Bennett was demoted during World War II because he ate with a black soldier before racial integration. Tony Bennett invited his Black friend, Frank Smith, to dine with him at a time when soldiers were still officially segregated. As a result, a bigoted officer demoted Bennett from corporal to private and reassigned him to a unit that exhumed mass graves and prepared the bodies of soldiers for shipment back home[1]. This incident was an example of the widespread prejudice and discrimination that existed in the army during that time[1]. Tony Bennett later became an advocate for civil rights and joined Dr. Martin Luther King during the 1965 civil rights march in Alabama[1].
RIP Tony Bennett

Remember this the next time you hear Republicans in Congress complain about increased IRS funding.
Happy 72nd Dad! Was remembering how much I used to love that look you'd give. That look with a mischievous, loving grin that your friends and loved ones knew so well. Joyous and curious and wondrous. Miss you and love you forever!
Damn. The righteous anger that Vice President Kamala Harris is showing right now in Florida is breathtaking & so powerful. She is going after Ron DeSantis's racist policies like I have never seen before & it is absolutely incredible. This is leadership. Thank you, VP Harris.
At the end of Tony Bennett’s 2021 performance, Lady Gaga escorted him off the stage one last time. “Just simply being the woman that got to walk him offstage, that's enough for me,” said Lady Gaga.

WOW. I’ve never seen VP Kamala Harris this angry, this outraged, this pissed off before. She has every right to be. This is the leader we need right now. Do yourself a favor & watch Kamala Harris who just slammed Ron DeSantis for saying Black people BENEFITED from slavery.
