Remembering the late, great Dolly, who brought joy, comfort and inspiration to so many - including the millions of children given free books through her Imagination Library. We will always ❤️ you.
Today, on International Holocaust Remembrance Day, we remember the 6 million Jewish men, women, and children, and millions more, who were murdered at the hands of the Nazis.
To commemorate the Holocaust and its victims, we must speak out against antisemitism and other forms of bigotry today. In the face of darkness, be the light.
Last night, tragically, 8 Democrats caved.
But the struggle continues.
Short term, we must not allow health care premiums to double for more than 20 million Americans.
Long term, we must provide health care to all as a human right.
Since the start of “Midway Blitz,” ICE/CBP agents have:
Shot and killed an unarmed father in Franklin Park and lied about the circumstances of his death;
Zip-tied small children and elderly women in the middle of the night on the South Side;
Allegedly told a woman to “Do something, bitch” and then shot her five times;
Tear-gassed protestors, reporters, and Chicago Police officers;
Shot a Minister in the face with pepper balls;
Caused a car accident and put a resident in a chokehold on the side of the street on the West Side;
Deployed chemical agents on a busy residential street near an elementary school and grocery store, forcing parents to run for cover with their two-year-old;
Marched through downtown displaying high-grade automatic weapons while arresting families “based on how they look”;
Arrested a City Council member for asking to see a warrant authorizing detentions being carried out at a hospital.
On this day, we hug loved ones a little tighter and know that we are always stronger together. And we are always here for you on Sesame Street. #NeverForget
Dear Donald Trump:
1) "Asylum seekers" are NOT immigrants who escaped insane asylums. They are refugees escaping oppression
2) "Transgenic" does NOT mean "transgender." It means an organism or cell that has been genetically altered
Maybe try googling next time
k bye,
America
To all the MAGA folks screeching that Democrats didn't stand up and clap for a kid with cancer:
Republicans are defunding research for kids with cancer.
Sit down.
The world’s richest man has decided that the world’s richest country shouldn't help some of the world’s poorest people.
This is blatantly illegal. An unelected billionaire cannot simply shut down federal agencies authorized by Congress at will.
Youth ice partners Angela Yang and Sean Kay were among the victims in the horrific DC plane crash last night.
They were children. The video below is one of their final performances before the tragedy.
Rest in peace.
