She was only six years old. In 1960, Ruby Bridges helped desegregate an all-white elementary school in New Orleans, escorted by federal marshals. That little girl turns 72 today. Happy Birthday, Ruby Bridges. ♥️ #SheShed #VivaHerAlliance

Side-by-side photos of Ruby Bridges as an adult and as a six-year-old child. The childhood image shows Ruby smiling in the doorway of William Frantz Elementary School in 1960, wearing a plaid dress and light-colored jacket.

These people had protected status. They lived here legally. They worked, they paid taxes. They made lives. Raised families. Now we’ve dehumanized them. Ripped away that protection and told them to get out. This is a stain on the soul of this Nation.

Guaranteed: 1) Black girls will be harassed and demanded to be tested over and over again regardless of how competitive they are. 2) Winners from public schools will be relentlessly hounded by the parents and coaches of losers at private schools, with the goal of making them quit the sport.

if you believe in any form of free enterprise at all, the idea that the Pentagon can not only cut off your contract but designate you a supply chain risk and prevent other companies from buying from you just because you won't build killbots for the government should be terrifying

You know, I called about the Boundary Waters in MN which is a federal Wilderness Area but thanks for schooling me on "multiple use" and "the Allegany." In fairness, I can definitely see how it might be difficult for a guy who lives in CT to spell "Allegheny" correctly.

For @msnownews.bsky.social, I wrote an article about how ICE Watch is grounded in sociological theories of violence prevention. The reality is that most men will only commit public violence in extremely specific scenarios and ICE Watch disrupts the conditions necessary for escalation.

Research into how violence occurs shows that disapproval from the people around you can help reduce it.

I called Sen McCormick's office re: the pause on immigrant visas. Within 20 mins I rec'd an email thanking me for "sharing your thoughts regarding the recent fatal shooting in Minneapolis". It then of course proceeded to justify ICE violence and extrajudicial murder because of victims' "rhetoric."

See the issue is that Trump ran on releasing on the Epstein files, and Bondi said she had them sitting on her desk ready to go, and then Elon Musk tweeted that Trump was in them and they were suddenly deemed a hoax and Ghislaine was moved to a spa prison, so you can understand the fresh intrigue
