We hate kids. Like SO MUCH. We vote for the guns. We vote for the bombs. We protect the rapists. We have LEOs physically restraining parents from trying to save their children in Uvalde. We just blew up a school in Iran. We love Jeffrey Epstein and his friends. They run the country.

“The children are always ours, every single one of them, all over the globe; and I am beginning to suspect that whoever is incapable of recognizing this may be incapable of morality.”

Black and white photo of Marjane Satrapi with the quote: "The world is not divided between East and West. You are American. I am Iranian, we don't know each other, but we talk and we understand each other perfectly. The difference between you and your government is much bigger than the difference between you and me. And the difference between me and my government is much bigger than the difference between me and you. And our governments are very much the same."
Once again.

Roughly 150,000 US citizens live and work in the Arabian Gulf States.
We are treated well by the local governments and are free to worship as we please.
The actions of the US government today are making us all less safe.
here's a little story. Janet Mills won a big settlement against drug companies as part of the opioid crisis and used it to buy Narcan, enough for every fire station and police department in the state. Republican Paul LePage said Narcan just encouraged drug use and people should die,

Last week, my mother took me and my kids to see the school where, 60 years ago, she was among the first wave of Black students to integrate a previously all-White school. We wanted to remind my kids that Black history is not just famous people in textbooks, it is often the people right next to you.

Absolutely striking piece & critical read (gift link):

Moms for Liberty ceremony
Moms For Liberty named RJ May the South Carolina Legislator of the Year for 2023 for his efforts to protect children from the evils of the LGBTQ community.
He was just sentenced to 17.5 years in federal prison followed by 30 years of supervised probation for distributing child pornography.
The problem is many of us don't see a lack of racism as an access need for Black people.

Screenshot of a CNN segment shared by Acyn. A split-screen shows commentator Lydia Moynihan on the left and Kevin O’Leary on the right during a heated exchange. The chyron reads, “Obama: Dems need to avoid scolding and ‘virtue-signaling.’” The post quotes O’Leary referencing China and concentration camps, and McGowan responding about West Virginia.
I spent my childhood inside of American concentration camps. I know one when I see one. And that is what ICE is building.

Living in a country where people can simultaneously celebrate Lunar New Year, observe Ramadan and Lent, and party at Mardi Gras on the same day is cool, good, and worth fighting for. Pluralistic democracy is one of humanity’s greatest inventions!

It’s always a matter of will not resources.

It came! Thank you for the recommendation @chanda.blacksky.app!

We use this piece in our 9th grade curriculum when talking about the Fugitive Slave Act.
Students always respond so thoughtfully!
Sharing stories of collective resistance feels SO necessary in this time 💛
