@_Semper_Virilis @jaxgators@AJDelgado13 Raised in a very devote Catholic family with 12 years of Catholic School in the 70s and 80s and never heard this. None of my 4 brothers or any of my male cousins spoke Latin or cared about the Crusades.
When Biden said he wd not pardon his own son, he was a patriot.
When Biden denounced the Supreme Court for giving the presidency MORE power and criminal immunity, he was a patriot.
And he is again today.
Service to country first.
Recent studies reveal that immigrants are less likely to commit crimes than U.S.-born citizens, challenging long-held misconceptions. As NPR highlights, it’s time to ground our policies in facts rather than fear. Read more: https://t.co/woM8IW7X7C
Conservative lawyer @gtconway3d: “If you don't want to be found guilty…don't sleep with the porn star, don't lie about it, don't pay her off, don't cover up the payoff, don't cover up the payoff in the middle of a presidential campaign”
In honor of #NationalCaregiversDay, we honor caregivers like Izzy.
For almost four years, Izzy was part of the incredible team of nine caregivers that cared for Ady and helped make his life possible.
Listen to Izzy’s story. ❤️
A Democrat was in the White House when my family was sent to the internment camps in 1941. It was an egregious violation of our human and civil rights.
It would have been understandable if people like me said they’d never vote for a Democrat again, given what had been done to us.
But being a liberal, being a progressive, means being able to look past my own grievances and concerns and think of the greater good. It means working from within the Democratic party to make it better, even when it has betrayed its values.
I went on to campaign for Adlai Stevenson when I became an adult. I marched for civil rights and had the honor of meeting Dr. Martin Luther King. I fought for redress for my community and have spent my life ensuring that America understood that we could not betray our Constitution in such a way ever again.
Bill Clinton broke my heart when he signed DOMA into law. It was a slap in the face to the LGBTQ community. And I knew that we still had much work to do. But I voted for him again in 1996 despite my misgivings, because the alternative was far worse. And my obligation as a citizen was to help choose the best leader for it, not to check out by not voting out of anger or protest.
There is no leader who will make the decision you want her or him to make 100 percent of the time. Your vote is a tool of hope for a better world. Use it wisely, for it is precious. Use it for others, for they are in need of your support, too.
John Ossoff, the 36 yr-old Jewish senator from Georgia, articulated a clear-eyed case for why 🇺🇸 should insist 🇮🇱 protect civilians in Gaza.
An unmitigated humanitarian disaster in Gaza, he said, is a moral failure & undermines American national security.
