When an entire auditorium of people are booing you for telling the truth, you find out who are your friends & standup individuals. Kris Kristofferson standing alone on stage with you as insults rained down is still a moment of tender humanity.
Rest in peace, Sister Sinead.

Sadio Mane, a Senegalese soccer star, earns approximately $10.2 million annually. He gave the world a rude awakening after some fans were flabbergasted when they saw him carrying a cracked iPhone 11.
His response was awesome:
"Why would I want ten Ferraris, 20 diamond watches, and two jet planes? I starved, I worked in the fields, played barefoot, and I didn't go to school.
Now I can help people. I prefer to build schools and give poor people food or clothing. I have built schools and a stadium, provide clothes, shoes, and food for people in extreme poverty.
In addition, I give 70 euros per month to all people from a very poor Senegalese region in order to contribute to their family economy.
I do not need to display luxury cars, luxury homes, trips, and even planes. I prefer that my people receive some of what life has given me."

In expelling Rep Justin Jones, Tennessee House cut # of Filipino American state legislators
in continental USA down to 7. Out of 7,383. There are 4 million Filipino Americans--nearly half in CA, where number of Fil Am legislators = 0.
Today, the Nashville Council fights back. 🤞

My city was one of the 1st to win CA's "pro-housing" designation & benefits. The City of Napa is doing the work--I've seen it first-hand--and deserves to be next. Two communities making clear through action that it can be done, and how.

Hey @KidRock, this dad is "feeling a little frisky today." Let me be "as clear and concise" as I can with you. This is my daughter Jaime (under the black oval) and these are the students running over her for safety to avoid getting shot by the AR 15 that killed her. FUCK YOU!!!

“When babies die at a church school, it is time for us to move beyond thoughts and prayers,” Senate Chaplain Barry C. Black says.
“Lord, deliver our senators from the paralysis of analysis that waits for the miraculous.”

Reminder that just last month Republicans wore AR-15 pins in place of where their American flag pin would normally go.

We are failing our children. Guns are now the leading cause of death for children in the U.S.
Michelle and I mourn with the students and families of the Covenant School today.
Readers added context they thought people might want to know
According to the CDC, accidents are the leading cause of death for children and adolescents.
The claim that guns are the leading cause of death for children would only be true if children under 1 are excluded and 18 and 19 year olds are counted as children.

I have posted this before but ..
26 years ago, a gunman entered
Dunblane Primary School in Scotland,
killing 16 kids and a teacher. The UK
govt responded by enacting tight gun
control legislation. In the 9400+ days
since, there have been a total of O
school shootings in the UK.

One third of the residents of the Navajo Nation don't have running water in their homes.
Some Navajo must travel several miles to obtain water from an untreated well.
Should Indigenous communities have access to clean drinking water in their homes?

Aged 38 I applied to be a firefighter
Driven to make a difference
My partner strangled me in rage when I was accepted & left me
I've subsequently endured 12 years of harassment in the fire service for daring to be a woman
Do we still need #InternationalWomensDay
YES WE DO
