Happy Black History Month. I hope Black folks get to see justice accelerate rapidly and your enemies confounded and diminished. Thanks for your bravery, sharing your stories so we can learn, leading the resistance, and inspiring us to rise.
White ppl: visit an African Am. history museum this month.

Do you know why a president would do all the most evil and heinous shit via Executive Order? Because his party can't easily make it law. And if they can't make it law, they can't make it last.
Don't let anyone make you feel like this is The End. Do not let them demoralize you. Live to see them die.

For years, I thought MAGA people I know would change their minds when faced with something they find personally abhorrent. Instead, when that happens, what I see and hear consistently is, βWell, if Trump wants it, it must not be as bad as I thought it was.β

Today Christians around the world remember the βHoly Innocentsβ - the children massacred by King Herod as Jesus was born.
I just keep thinking of Gaza.
May we never become numb to the killing of children.

I recommend reading banned/challenged books so you're not like the people who try to ban books without even reading them.
