Robert Gould Shaw was born on this day in 1837 in Dartmouth, Mass. Shaw commanded the 54th Massachusetts Regiment, one of the North’s first Black regiments. He died leading his troops in an ill-fated assault on Fort Wagner and was buried in a mass grave with the black soldiers. /1

Republican Shutdown.

This time, the Democrats proudly carry a message:

“Save healthcare and release the files, we’re ready to talk. You?”

The longer the other side stalls, the further the message spreads.

This WH liaison's actions were a clear attempt to exert power and create an uncomfortable, potentially unsafe situation for his co-worker.

A human resources complaint was eventually filed, but was retracted days later, as she feared retaliation. No one is safe.

Good morning. If today feels heavy, rise above it with gentle strength. If it feels empty, fill it with small joys. You don’t have to fix the day. You just have to move through it with courage and resilience.

If you know what this means, then you’re keeping up.

I’m a woman, so therefore, I’m not circumcised, but I definitely take Tylenol.
