@dolan4ohio Fear. Do better.

[Commander-in-Chief of the Armed Forces of Ukraine @CinC_AFU]

The time has come to take back what belongs to us.

[Carter Elliott, IV @CarterElliottIV]

.@GovWesMoore’s powerful words to the @Morehouse graduating class of 2023:

Out in the world, many will seek to have you forget your history.

I look around our country and I see book banning.

I see teachers being censored.

I see curriculum with the truth taken out.

And it is not just a threat to our history – it is a threat to our strength.

When politicians ban books and muzzle educators, they say it’s an effort to prevent “discomfort and guilt” – but we know that’s not true!

This is NOT about fear of making people feel bad:

This is about fear of people understanding their power;

This is about fear of you realizing that you come from a long line of titans – and visionaries – and dreamers – and pioneers.

People who defied the odds and helped build this nation with their hands, their hearts, and their minds!

And I fear, Men of Morehouse, that what is happening now with our history is just the beginning:

I fear we are watching the early decay of a deep rot that threatens to hollow out our future by eliminating our past. 

Those who yearn to destroy history will not stop at our history – they will go after the history of those we know.

I’m talking about our friends in the indigenous community.

I’m talking about our friends in the Jewish community.

I’m talking about our friends in the Asian community.

I’m talking about our friends in the gay community.

I’m talking about our mothers and daughters and sisters.

I’m talking about everyone in this country who has been a part of the American story – and who are watching the stories of those who came before them wiped away.

A threat to any history is a threat to all history.

When a student is put under investigation by their school after delivering a presentation on the Stonewall Riots, that doesn’t just hurt the LGBTQ community – it hurts us all.

When a book about the life and achievements of the baseball legend Roberto Clemente is banned, that doesn’t just hurt the Puerto Rican community – it hurts us all.

When a school board revises curriculum to edit out writings on Japanese internment in America, that doesn’t just hurt the AAPI community – it hurts us all.

I can think of few greater threats to our nation than this threat to our history – a threat that will have lasting consequences:

Not only because those who do not remember the past are condemned to repeat it.

But because those who do not learn their past will never know their own power.

@mviser @tylerpager Loose the snarky attitude here. He is a human who loves Ireland and honestly it is a great place. Framing it as USA vs Ireland is lazy, snarky reporting. Do better. #washingtonpost

[Governor Wes Moore @GovWesMoore]

I’m proud to announce that our Fair Wage Act has passed the Maryland House and Senate with bipartisan support.

The North Star of our administration is creating pathways to work, wages, and wealth and this legislation will lift up hardworking Marylanders statewide.

[The Wilderness Society 🌳 @Wilderness]

The House just passed one of the worst packages of environmental legislation in decades—attacking public lands, giveaways to oil & gas, and silencing communities’ voices.

Tell the Senate to reject ALL parts of this anti-environment, anti-community agenda! https://t.co/PnUyq9wTbY

[Jonathan Meyers @jonathanmeyers1]

Facts matter. Don't want to support democracy? Anti-Ukraine support because it's so expensive? See this chart. USA= less than 0.4% of GDP. #SupportUkraine #UkraineWillWin #Ukraine️

[David Corn @DavidCornDC]

Nixon: Sabotaged the Vietnam War peace talks to win in 1968.

Reagan: Encouraged Iran to hold on to US hostages to win in 1980.

Trump: Aided and abetted Putin’s covert attack on the US election to win in 2016.

It’s a GOP tradition. https://t.co/nDwI6Ls6J7

Validated. Took over 40 years. Reagan team conducted foreign policy BEFORE they were in power. Don’t release the hostages from Iran prior to the election. The Republican party has been rotting for a very long time. #octobersurprise

[Governor Wes Moore @GovWesMoore]

With some help from Testudo, my picks are in for @MarchMadnessMBB and @MarchMadnessWBB and you already know I’m going with @TerrapinHoops and @TerpsWBB!

This is our year! Let’s bring this one home, @UofMaryland!

[Jonathan Meyers @jonathanmeyers1]

An incredibly short-sighted decision here. "Business as usual" in an era that should not be this way...

[The Wilderness Society 🌳 @Wilderness]

BREAKING: the Biden admin has approved the Willow project. Thank you to the Indigenous leaders, climate advocates & the 5 million who fought to protect our planet.

It won't stop here. The fight for a sustainable future is a long one.
Our statement: https://t.co/qXdmoSzfMa

[The Wilderness Society 🌳 @Wilderness]

The conservation decisions reported today by the New York Times are positive steps, but not nearly sufficient to blunt the impact of any version of the Willow oil and gas project. #StopWillow🛑

More on our statement. https://t.co/0lUYe6SsmV

[The Wilderness Society 🌳 @Wilderness]

The Willow project would be a CLIMATE BOMB—with the potential to release nearly 280 million metric tons of carbon emissions into the atmosphere.

But let's be clear: Willow has NOT yet been officially approved by the Biden administration. Keep raising your voices to #StopWillow!

[The Wilderness Society 🌳 @Wilderness]

Earth simply cannot afford another 280 million metric tons of greenhouse gases from an oil project in Alaska’s Western Arctic—or anywhere else. It’s time to respect the science and protect our climate and #StopWillow! @POTUS @SecDebHaaland @silainuat https://t.co/knkdR4ccrA

I’ve never heard a @POTUS reference “the talk” in a #SOTU. My son texted me from his room “I hope @JoeBiden talking about that makes us safer.” The real estate in a SOTU is prime. That he took a moment to acknowledge the fears of black parents & their children is breathtaking.
