You can remove a flag, as at Stonewall; you can try to ignore history, as in Philadelphia; you can even try to humiliate people, as with racist tweets; but you can't erase people's innate human dignity. It can withstand anything. It is inalienable. https://t.co/RtO2clwfrk

In its simplest terms, the apparent demise of #USAID is the result of the world's richest man ending a program that helps millions of poor people. You don't need a Ph.D. in moral theology to see why this is an evil. You can just read Jesus's parables on the rich and the poor.
As a reminder, Catholic teaching is that the death penalty is "inadmissible." So please stop calling the Catholic justices who allowed an execution to take place "pro life." All life is reverenced as sacred by the church, even the life of the person on death row.

Civilian victims of war are not “collateral damage." They are men and women with names and surnames, who lose their lives. They are children who are orphaned and deprived of their future. They are individuals who suffer from hunger, thirst and cold, or are left mutilated. #Peace

“Fired up. Ready to go!” Edith Childs understands the power of a single voice, and she used those words to light up a room during my campaign stop in Greenwood, SC back in 2007.
I recently caught up with Edith, who just retired after 24 years in public service. Take a look:
Today is election day in Chicago. On the ballot: Mayor and Alderperson, two major bodies that determine city policy. And as you can see, turnout so far is heaviest with older voters
As of 209,820 ballots counted as of last night (2.27) from the Chicago Board of Elections (1,290 additional Vote By Mail ballots are still being processed of the total 211,110 received), the turnout by age group for the February 28th Municipal Election so far is:
“Harriet Tubman matters. Frederick Douglass matters. Ida B. Wells matters. Thurgood Marshall matters. Dr. King matters. Rosa Parks matters. Malcolm X matters. Shirley Chisholm. John Lewis. They were not mere footnotes in the history books. They were the heroes.”
Powerful.
