I was raised with a different version, but it dawned on me that the current rendition probably goes:

"Jesus loves the little children,
All the children of the US,
Blank, blank, blank, blank, blank, and white,
They are precious in his sight,
Jesus loves the little children of the US"

One thing becomes more apparent the older I get:

If you see somebody steal food... no, you didn't.

MLK didn't dream of a world without judgment. He had a dream that it was based on character.

I'm old enough to barely remember the wall coming down. I didn't expect the USSR to win the Cold War in 2025. Did anybody have that on their bingo card?

Acts of protest are becoming more organic, random, and most importantly, without concern if it's a 'legal' protest. The goal is peace, not lawful evil.

Never before have I seen so much organic movement from vastly different groups. And it's all pointed toward the same target.

Trump orders database tracking federal police misconduct to close It ends one of the big milestones of the Black Lives Matter movement

Trump has ordered the shutdown of the first nationwide database tracking misconduct by federal police officers.

The closure ends the National Law Enforcement Accountability Database โ€” a resource experts said improved public safety by preventing bad officers from jumping from agency to agency.

'Beware the Ides of March'

With a potential government shutdown coming March 14th, and the love of Roman iconography held by fascists, should we be piqued to wariness?

Federal income tax is going away, and he thinks the states should fend for themselves. Why have a federal government when it can't serve the people in that condition?

Indiana man pardoned for Jan. 6 crimes is killed in traffic stop shooting by deputy Matthew Huttle, 42, pleaded guilty to entering the U.S. Capitol and was on supervised release before President Donald Trump pardoned him last week.

A pardoned January 6 defendant was killed during a traffic stop when he resisted arrest. Donald Trump sent dangerous people back into our communities. www.nbcnews.com/news/us-news...

As somebody that grew up in, and experienced white America: Nobody turns tail and runs when shit hits the fan like those that complain about immigrants.

Some of us are going to get hurt, but the alternative is that all of us get hurt.

๐Ÿšจ John Coughenour, a US district judge, has suspended Trump's executive order to end US citizenship birthright.

He called Trump's order โ€œblatantly unconstitutionalโ€.

The ruling follows from a lawsuit filed by four Democratic state attorneys-general led by Washington state.

The Refugesโ€™s are stranded. Those whoโ€™ve filed all, taken all the steps needed. There are cases around the nation with whatโ€™s referred to as โ€œWorld Orphansโ€โ€”kids with no one due to war, etc. Theyโ€™re stranded, funding halted. ๐Ÿคฌ

I suggest people who have done any diversity or justice related work (including and especially environmental justice) in partnership with the federal government back up their data, maps, and apps elsewhere
