Love others. Love yourself. Love dogs.

Today we honor the nearly 3,000 men, women, and children who died on September 11, 2001, and the heroes who have always run towards danger to do what’s right. Let’s never forget that day, and let’s never take them for granted.

The @thenation ran Justice Sotomayor’s full dissent as its own piece and you should read every urgent word of it: https://t.co/jLMJ2fjZft

@AkilahObviously .@WagsandWalks is a great organization on the west side that loves donations! We adopted our sweet pup Bear there ❤️ 2238 Federal Ave

We should be more concerned with saving lives than political blowback, but this poll suggests that opposition to vaccine requirements - while loud and intense - comes from a solid minority of voters.

[Barack Obama @BarackObama]

As Republican legislatures across the country deliberately try to make it harder to cast a ballot, we need to keep fighting to make sure every citizen has a voice and a vote. The future of our country is at stake.

[Barack Obama @BarackObama]

For more than nine years, DREAMers have watched courts and politicians debate whether they’ll be allowed to stay in the only country many of them have ever known. It’s long past time for Congress to act and give them the protection and certainty they deserve.

Meeting with #NikoleHannahJones for an interview this week made me reflect on my June interview with Walter Hussman, the conservative Arkansas media magnate and #UNC megadonor who lobbied against hiring her.

It's worth talking a bit about these two people and interviews.

The notion that weed is a problematic “drug” is rooted in racism. It’s insane that Team USA would disqualify one of this country’s most talented athletes over thinking that’s rooted in hatred. It’s something they should be ashamed of. Also if weed made you fast, I’d be FloJo.

This is why it’s not enough to tell people to vote. People did vote. These voter suppression laws are in response to people organizing and voting. Our democracy is on the cusp and we cannot treat this as politics as usual.

[LaTosha Brown @MsLaToshaBrown]

The irony... that because Black voters showed up in record numbers in 2020 there are political negotiations happening right now to decide how much disappointment and disenfranchisement can Black voters tolerate in service of Republican appeasement.

In Texas, Lake Highlands High School valedictorian, Paxton Smith, switched out her approved speech to talk about abortion rights.

[Elizabeth Warren @ewarren]

Let’s be clear about what just happened: the GOP Senate minority used a filibuster to obstruct an independent investigation into a deadly armed attack on the Capitol. If we want to protect our democracy, we must #EndTheFilibuster.

[Ilhan Omar @IlhanMN]

We have the Senate, the House and the Presidency.

Stop negotiating with a losing insurrectionist party who are trying to sabotage our democracy, pass the infrastructure package through reconciliation and abolish the filibuster.

[Ben Rhodes @brhodes]

It’s going to look totally insane to history if we end up losing democracy bc a couple of people wanted to protect the filibuster.

[Barack Obama @BarackObama]

George Floyd was murdered one year ago today. Since then, hundreds more Americans have died in encounters with police—parents, sons, daughters, friends taken from us far too soon. But the last year has also given us reasons to hope.

“I may stop taking corporate bribes” is not the dunk you think it is.

President Biden: "Madam Speaker, Madam Vice President ... no president has ever said those words from this podium — and it’s about time." https://t.co/4e0tEQdn2t

[Austin Channing Brown @austinchanning]

I’m really upset that the media is already laying the groundwork for dismissing Ma’khia’s death. If police can arrest mass shooters with assault rifles, they can arrest a 16 year old girl with a knife.

Derek Chauvin: guilty on all 3 counts

Now let’s do the entire system of policing in this country.
