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!

In a recent interview with #timmiller of the @bulwarkmedia , Senator Elissa Slotkin took a shot or two at #kamalaharris that was not only unnecessary. It was also inaccurate. It is going to be a mistake for democrats going forward to disrespect Kamala Harris. Critique of her campaign is fine. We all do that. But low blows aren’t necessary and that’s what #elissaslotkin did in her interview. What do you think? Here is the video of the interview: https://youtu.be/cZd2cFXpzl8?si=4qXyZfpAhjgA3OtZ

Zohran Mamdani deserves credit for his win but the election isn’t over. There are crucial blocks he didn’t win, particularly poorer people and Black voters. It’s disrespectful for Bernie Sanders to say that if #kamalaharris ran a similar campaign she would have won, especially when Bernie ran ...

Zohran Mamdani deserves credit for his win but the election isn’t over. There are crucial blocks he didn’t win, particularly poorer people and Black voters. It’s disrespectful for Bernie Sanders to say that if #kamalaharris ran a similar campaign she would have won, especially when Bernie ran with the #ZohranMamdani strategy and lost the presidential election. #mamdani has a long way to go and it would behoove to not ignore the groups he lost.

I share my thoughts on what they did that was spot on and an are or two that I think they were off on. I think it’s important that honest conversations about the state of America and how we change it are important and I am looking forward to hearing more.

We have to call a thing a thing. #jdvance calling Senator Alex Padilla “Jose” Padilla was racist. He could have mixed up his name with any other name like John or Anthony but deliberately played off of American racism and racist ideas. These are the “deplorable” actions Hillary Clinton talked about and it can’t be allowed to go unchallenged. #alexpadilla #trump #immigration #iceraids #losangeles #senatoralexpadilla #jose #josé

#juneteenth this year felt different and I wonder how it felt for you. I don’t like seeing something I’ve recognized way before the holiday get commercialized. Even “Happy Juneteenth” feels off even though it IS a day that we should celebrate but are we celebrating without really remembering? Does it matter WHO says “Happy Juneteenth” to you, meaning the race of the person? Would love your thoughts. Let’s talk about it!

When it comes to actual leadership, there is no “both sides” argument to make about calls for and celebrations of political violence. As I mention here, this is all republican territory. People on the liberal side in social media spaces have indeed expressed violent ideas, but not the democratic politicians themselves. And it starts from the top with #Trump. Notice how some say we need to tone things down but never say his name? Any talk of toning rhetoric down that doesn’t start with Trump is not an honest conversation to have. Both republicans and democrats and other political parties have experienced violence over the years. The scale, however, does matter and it’s not even close.

These softball interviews on Morning Joe with #tomhoman are disgraceful. Johnathan Lemire failed to challenge Homan on anything so in fact, #morningjoe just let him use their platform to spill more lies. #trump and #homan know that whenever they need a friendly face in the so-called liberal news space, he can head right over to Morning Joe & #mikabrzezinski. Do better!

This beef is designed to distract you from the #travelban, his new policy denying pregnant women emergency care, and his #taxbill that will destroy the lives of millions of Americans. Elon Musk and his fake department are still embedded in the government and they both have blood on their hands. This is a distraction that democrats and the media cannot fall for! #elonmusk #donaldtrump #epsteinfiles #epstein #bigbeautifulbill #losangeles

How dare #billmaher think it’s fine to blame #cassie and other victims of domestic violence? How dare he bring #tinaturner into this as if he knows her story? The worst part to me was the laughter from the audience. Some things just aren’t funny. Y’all feel good about this #hbomax & #cnn who air his stuff? No accountability for #diddy either? It’s disgraceful. I won’t call this a new low for Bill Maher because that’s where he lives but that doesn’t mean I won’t call it out and so should you! #metoo #metoomovement #iketurner
