OUTSTANDING Black History Moment
While Arizona carries on its racist traditions during Black History….my people will still shine…
What an amazing young lady.
Amanda Gorman on the cover of Time magazine, simply stunning.
Thanks, Sheila. I missed her.
I did, too. Glad to see this. (Thanks, Sheila!)
thumbs up
Thank you so much for posting this, sheila. I missed it last night. I thought she was going to be on at half time.

A total hero.
Alright Mariah! 😁
Serena! 👑👑👑
Winning!
This!
… and this!
😷
“freedumb” is right!!!
I keep saying it over and over….with FREEDOM comes RESPONSIBILITY and ACCOUNTABILITY. Can’t have one without the others.
Neat, concise. Let’s move on.
Exactly. I think Joe did something like this, too. 🙂
It’s nice having a Commander-in-Chief and SecDef who actually care about our service members.
Of course, I’m pretty sure President Obama made the same type calls! But in today’s world, these comments about President Biden are also including the (silent) anti-45 message!
Was there a mindmeld?! 😂😷
It sure appears so. Wonder if the same animator did both.
Amber Ruffin with the facts!
Love this! If you’re in Seattle, please give this food truck some
business, if you can.
😆
True
Goodnight TOD.
OMG- “smell the roses”- I just spit out my coffee!
Sincere apologies Carla!!! 😉

Hope all of you have a fine Monday!
No mask, no life.

Yup, dem cong critters better wake the fuck up like yesterday. The thugs are already ahead in their game.
Get it done right away. Priority
I hope the Biden Administration is listening
‘One Night in Miami:’
Michael Eric Dyson and Leslie Odom, Jr. speak to Joy Reid.
“On his role as Sam Cooke, Odom said “Getting cast in the role, I went back to those early days of training of listening to mom and dad’s records. I tried to sound as much like Sam Cooke as I possibly could.”

Senator Cory Booker told Cross: “that getting votes from Republicans in Congress doesn’t determine whether a piece of legislation is bipartisan.”
“Don’t let Republicans in the Senate tell you that Joe Biden’s bill is not bipartisan,”
the Democratic senator said. “Raising the minimum wage is bipartisan. $1,400 checks is bipartisan. Aid to state and local governments has the support of every governor, Democrat and Republican.”

“Farmer Protests and India’s Descent into Authoritarianism”
“Hasan breaks down the protests happening over Indian Prime Minister Modi’s agriculture and farming policies, and how Modi’s authoritarian was born out of the same climate that elevated Trump.”
—-Indian police have even:
“filed a case against climate activist Greta Thunberg for also daring to tweet in support of he farmers.”
—“We should be talking about it because there is shared DNA between what is happening in India and
what we’ve experienced here under Trump.”
Over 250 million people on strike on the same day…
“Agriculture is the largest employer in India, with nearly 50 percent of the country’s workforce employed in it in one form or another. But this crucial sector is reeling from a spate of farmer suicides – one of the highest rates in the world.” (France 24.com)
Rep. Brad Sherman on Friday:
“Today I convened a meeting of the leadership of the India caucus with the Co-Chair Rep. Steve Chabot and Vice Chair Rep Ro Khanna to speak with the Ambassador of India Sandhu Taranjit reading the farmer’s demonstrations.”
Filed against Greta? WTH?!
Seriously. WTH?
Thanks Greta.
imo same applies to media and pundits who argue “We must let Hitler have his say”.
Um – let the big Advertisers withdraw their business from Facebook!!
Yep.
“Biden harnesses Defense Production Act to speed vaccinations and production of protective equipment”
“The Biden administration announced a handful of initiatives Friday aimed at accelerating mass inoculations against the coronavirus and expanding production of rapid tests and surgical gloves to help control the pathogen.”
“In the most immediate action, Defense Secretary Lloyd Austin approved a request from the Federal Emergency Management Agency to deploy 1,110 troops to support vaccination sites.”

Selfish f*ck dies is the only fitting lede for this dude.
They never learn. Look at Florida’s and Iowa’s governors!
I don’t think they will learn unless it affects more of them.
They won’t care if they think it only affects black and brown folks.
When I was growing up, there was a lot of emphasis on having conviction, moral conviction, conviction of doing and standing for what is right, decent, noble, just and fair. Now, people stick their heads out to see which way the wind blows before they stand for something. This principal should have never caved to the parents to begin with. History is history. One doesn’t choose what to include in “history”; one can choose to ignore some aspect of it to one’s own peril but not if one is an educator!
“Let’s be clear. We are never going to get 10 Republicans to increase the minimum wage through ‘regular order,’
Senate Budget Committee Chairman Bernie Sanders (I-Vt.), a staunch advocate of the $15 minimum wage.
“The only way to increase the minimum wage to $15 an hour now
is to pass it with 51 votes through budget reconciliation.”
The Hill: “Democrats could advance the budgetary bill through the Senate even if every GOP senator objects,
as long as Democrats stick together.”
(https://thehill.com/policy/finance/537817-cbo-say-15-minimum-wage-would-increase-deficit-54b)
Manchin.
The minimum wage in his state since January 2016 = $8.75 an hour.
Why does he object to a living wage for West Virginians? Have they not suffered enough?
Let us hear him explain to their faces.
Benen:
“US starts playing catch-up on threat from domestic extremists”
“Doing so in the Trump era wasn’t a realistic option, but the United States is now “finally catching up” to the threats posed by domestic extremists.”
NPR: “As the Pentagon wrestles with concerns over right-wing extremism among service members,
Defense Secretary Lloyd Austin has signed a memo directing commanding officers and supervisors to institute a one-day stand-down within the next 60 days to address extremism within the nation’s armed forces.”
“The New York Times reported day earlier,
The Biden administration will examine if additional F.B.I. agents are needed at the bureau’s field offices to address the threat of domestic violent extremism, a senior administration official said on Friday.”
“The day before that, new Senate Intelligence Committee Chairman Mark Warner (D-Va.) said his panel would do a “significant dive” into anti-government extremists in the United States, including questions surrounding radicalized groups’ possible connections to foreign allies.”
“And two weeks before that, of course, as NBC News reported, the Biden White House announced a major initiative aimed at overhauling the government’s approach to domestic terrorism, ordering intelligence agencies to conduct a “comprehensive threat assessment” into what officials say has become a pressing national security challenge.”
“As part of the review,
the Office of the Director of National Intelligence will conduct a national threat assessment
in cooperation with the FBI and the Department of Homeland Security.”

pkayden so you know, am such a fan of your posts, comments…
Thanks!! The feeling is mutual. Love the comments here.
Brian Sicknick was the Officer who was killed during The Insurrection on 1/6/2021 by Trump supporters. He was beaten to death. Officer Sicknick voted for Trump. Donald Trump did NOT attend his funeral. Joe Biden did.
Hmm mmm. That says it all.
Benen: “What can Dems do to get the US Postal Service back on track?”
“Given the USPS’s systemic difficulties, and public demands for improvements, reform efforts have a credible shot at success.”
“And while the president can’t oust DeJoy, the USPS governing board can.”
“But there are other remedies also on the table….”

fire the fucking board, ffs. that’s what the traitorous thug did.
Woooot! That’s my county. Elections have consequences! 😁

We have a Veterans Affairs Secretary!
I seem to be getting all my news from you, Dudette, via TOD! I like it! (Had a little computer glitch for a day or so, so I’m way behind and you’re saving me!)
One is glad to be of service! 😁😘
🙂 Well, I’m off to dreamland so you can also take a little rest from sharing the knowledge, darlin’ !!! Goodnight to you and TODville!
They keep trying to turn us around. It won’t work.

Let me understand, it was okay for Steven Mnuchin to funnel $500B in PPP Covid loans, giving millions to himself, Jared Kushner, Devin Nunes, Betsy DeVos, Joel Osteen, Kanye West, Tom Brady, $334K to Moscow Mitch’s wife Elaine Chao, but raising the minimum wage to $15 is bad?
Mars, here we come!

For some reason this Allstate commercial cracked me up! And, of course, I thought of our dearest Dudette! 😂😷 Found even more laughter in folks trying to analyze the commercial! Geez! It’s on the moon, relax folks! 😎
“The Hilarious Detail In The Allstate Moon Commercial You Didn’t Notice” https://www.nickiswift.com/310781/the-hilarious-detail-in-the-allstate-moon-commercial-you-didnt-notice/#:~:text=Case%20in%20point%3A%20Allstate's%20new,a%20smooth%2Dsailing%20space%20rover.
I saw that and thought it was goofy too! 😆
Love it!
Robinhood Markets Inc. was sued by the parents of a 20-year-old trader who killed himself last year after he incorrectly believed he had lost $730,000 on an options trade.
The parents of Alex Kearns filed a wrongful death lawsuit Monday in state court i Santa Clara County, California, claiming the no-fee brokerage preys on inexperienced and unsophisticated investors like their son. They seek unspecified damages.
Just so no one is under an illusion that something unique happened.
Love the kick ass and screw the rw whine attitude.
Cleaning house! Love to see it! 😁
Been waiting for this!
I’m way behind the times, but do we know what’s happening with Merrick Garland’s confirmation?
Not confirmed yet.
https://edition.cnn.com/interactive/2021/politics/biden-cabinet-confirmations-tracker/
Well, that’s a find! Thank you so much for sharing (since I was too lazy tonight to find it!). 🙂
No problem.
Senate Committee hearings for the next few days at the link below. I don’t see Judiciary, so looks like it’ll be a while for him, unless he’s already gone through committee and is awaiting full Senate vote.

Stupid bw hack for a reporter gets called stupid. Good.
