As a teacher in DeFascist’s Florida, the cards—and the law—are stacked against me.

We’re all born with no notions of hatred, prejudice, or zealotry. Those are taught behaviors. Maybe we can stop teaching that shit. #quote #religion

After a lifetime of being an athlete, now that I'm healthy enough (?!) in my long covid journey to consistently work out again, every workout continues to be incredibly emotionally difficult. I had no idea how strong and amazing I was until it evaporated seemingly overnight. Physical activity has always been a deep way that I found peace and now it's like a battleground.

You have to dig deep to find peace inside of trying hard but it's still there. Glad to be alive and trying.

The Emmett Till casket display, which bowled me over the first time I saw it, almost brought me to tears today. Something about the photo of Emmett smiling w/ his mother, taken not long before history seized this family so cruelly.

Confronting the past can be painful business, but I can’t see any future for our democracy without it.

John Lewis said our first task is to “make plain [the truth] without anger or apology.”

A tall order, but also, I think, the way we’ll be measured henceforth.

Somebody somewhere is going to be offended by something posted online. The message for me is try to avoid posting with the deliberate intent to offend.

The last time such a damning piece of evidence (a “smoking gun”) came to light, Richard M. Nixon’s presidency was effectively over. (He left office less than a week later.)
News reports now indicate the federal grand jury hearing the documents case will meet this week. An indictment, if there is one, could come within days. #TrumpCrimes #RussianAssetTrump #TrumpTRE45ON

Good morning to readers; Kyiv remains in Ukrainian hands.

But beyond the bombings, there’s a new risk on the horizon: the Ukrainian government is warning that Russia is preparing to simulate a nuclear disaster at the Zaporizhzhia nuclear power plant.
