An UPstander is someone who sees something and takes a stand. Here we will explore issues relating to social justice. Some posts will be motivational, some educational. Some times I may drop a rhyme or poem! The goal is to share stories and opinions that help us build a human family. Share your thoughts and share with others!
Some of the rising stars in the democratic party are very open about their faith. Is this something more democrats should be doing?

On @jubilee “Surrounded” series, journalist Mehdi Hasan debated 20 #maga students. What they said was dangerous. To hear so many young people proudly proclaim themselves to be nazis, fascists, racists, and even openly embrace the shooting of children in the head in #gaza should trouble us all. These people need to be engaged rather than dismissed because they’re not going anywhere. In fact they want anyone who doesn’t look like them to go. We ignore these people at our own expense.

The comments over my last few posts denying any African lineage for Black Americans is really sad. Whether you’re Black, Black American, ADOS, FBA, African American, or whatever, you don’t lose anything by acknowledging that your roots are in Africa. You can only gain from stretching out your historical lineage. No other group does this as much as we do. Of course many Black Americans acknowledge their ancestry, but enough of us don’t to make it problematic. Someone said in one chat that they don’t even know what the term “African American” means. My response. RESEARCH! It’s not hard. This was the point of the enslavement process and we shouldn’t give them that win. #african #africa #tether #ados #fba

@FoxNews #greggutfeld wants to adopt “Nazi” for #maga people like “The Blacks” use the n-word. 1) note that they want to normalize being called a #nazi but we can’t compare this to Nazi germany right? This should also be condemned as #antisemitic to evoke that right? Secondly, ALL B...

@FoxNews #greggutfeld wants to adopt “Nazi” for #maga people like “The Blacks” use the n-word. 1) note that they want to normalize being called a #nazi but we can’t compare this to Nazi germany right? This should also be condemned as #antisemitic to evoke that right? Secondly, ALL Black people don’t use the n-word. This is what I mean when I say it doesn’t matter if you’re #ados #fba or something else. We must unite!
Also, said that I thought #jessicatarlov made the “Nazi please” statement because of the way the camera cut to her but apparently it was Kennedy so I wanted to correct the record here.

I unfortunately saw the #superman movie (spoilers here). It was bad but I didn’t walk out of the movie seeing all the things #maga people are seeing as well as the talk about the movie being antisemitic? I find it unfortunate that we are at a point where every single thing has to be politicize...

I unfortunately saw the #superman movie (spoilers here). It was bad but I didn’t walk out of the movie seeing all the things #maga people are seeing as well as the talk about the movie being antisemitic? I find it unfortunate that we are at a point where every single thing has to be politicized in unecesary ways. What do you think?

It is wrong for #joescarborough to say it’s too early to ask questions about the tragic flooding in Texas. From what I’ve seen over the weekend, no one is taking any accountability from the local and state to the federal level. This is not a “The buck stops with me” administration. Everyone is already pointing fingers and we have seen this time and again with this administration from the plane crash to this. The people we have lost to these tragedies deserve better than this.

It has been revealed that #zohranmamdani identified in part African American on his college application. Now people are in a tizzy over it. This is another example of how much we don’t know about the concept of race. #mamdani can give us an opportunity to discuss this but #ericadams, #andrewcuomo and others are using this as an opportunity to have what Glenn Singleton calls a #courageousconversation about this. What do you think? What are your experiences with the #census and identity overall? #upstander #NYC

More attention is being paid to the fact that #diddy wasn’t found guilty on the most serious charges. Fine. He’s still guilty. He is still a 2x felon. Furthermore, he should not be able to come back to the community whenever he gets out and just live his life. Don’t buy his music. ...

More attention is being paid to the fact that #diddy wasn’t found guilty on the most serious charges. Fine. He’s still guilty. He is still a 2x felon. Furthermore, he should not be able to come back to the community whenever he gets out and just live his life. Don’t buy his music. Protest any films he is in. Whatever it takes should be done. It’s time for lovers of #hiphop to stand up for our community. I appreciate what #cassie has done to bring this and the tragedy of domestic violence to the forefront. #diddytrial #diddyguilty #diddynotguilty #upstander

Note that I said that she is leaving the party at the national level. I did not say she’s leaving the #democraticparty. This is a major loss at the national level. From #randiweingarten and others leacing, to the disses of #kamalaharris and now this, I just don’t understand how democrats believe they are building a coalitiion to beat #republicans in 2026 & 2028. What say you?
