A video of Alex Pretti reading out the final salute of an unnamed veteran he cared for until the end of his life in the ICU, posted to Facebook by his son.
Alex Pretti was an American hero. He saved lives. He protected people. He cared deeply about his community, unlike the murderous thugs who killed him.
The very last thing he did was try to help a woman who had been pepper-sprayed and violently shoved to the ground by ICE. 1/

James Baldwin’s message was simple: we’re afraid of love, because we’re afraid of exposing our true selves.
The photojournalist Sebastião Salgado documented some of the greatest human horrors of the past century, but he said, “I never. . . photograph the misery.”

reading bell hooks 👇is an eye opening
Patriarchy pressures men to equate masculinity with dominance and emotional distance

Go MIT! Major breakthrough. -- A stunning new theory out of MIT suggests our memory capacity may owe more to astrocytes—the brain’s star-shaped support cells—than to neurons alone. Slow slog though, as since the 17th century most science does not even acknowledge or study consciousness.

How odd and invigorating it will be when we all look back and wonder why on earth we were drawn to taking and sharing pictures of ourselves(?!?) when there are a zillion other things far more worth our time. I look forward to it.
I am begging people to actually read some Crenshaw and bell hooks, comprehend intersectionality, and learn why “wealth disparity also creates advantages and disadvantages” doesn’t disprove racial inequity or obviate the need to address it.

She wasn’t perfect. But she was prepared. And she deserved better than being the fall guy for everyone else’s cowardice. Kamala Harris rose higher than most ever will—with half the support.
