Latinos outnumber non-Hispanic white residents, & yet dominate only 7 of the 38 congress. districts. The last state to free the enslaved is currently home to the largest Black population in the country, and the congress. map Abbott signed in 2021 didn't include even one predominantly Black district

New report looks at the changing face of extremist groups in America | PBS News Weekend
As hate groups edge toward the political mainstream, experts say they’re employing new tactics and taking on new forms.

Trump posted "SEE YOU IN MIAMI ON TUESDAY!".
1. He's gotten his base worked up and hopes there's violence.
2. He's not taking this shit seriously.
In 2024, we MUST vote like our lives depend on it. We CANNOT allow people like Trump to hold the highest office in this country ever again.

Even if it weren't about saving lives (which it is), fighting pollution and the climate crisis is the right thing to do *economically*
Don’t believe anyone who says we can’t afford to fight climate change. The truth is we can’t afford not to.

When I was an impeachment manager, I argued that Trump incited an insurrection that gave our foreign enemies unprecedented exposure to the halls of Congress.
Again and again, his crimes put our national security at risk.
Nobody — not even a former President — is above the law.

I feel like the fact that Ethel & Julius Rosenberg got the chair for far less than what Donald Trump has done should be a bigger story.

Trump should have been charged & arrested the minute he showed classified documents to Russian government officials. That was May 2017. Still, I'm shocked at what is revealed in this indictment. His crimes against America go much further than almost anyone contemplated. Move over Benedict Arnold.
