The love of humanity or solidarity and charity is horizontal, thus providing as much as possible for those in need. Vertical “solidarity” comes from the rich and powerful who want and demand more more more from us unfortunate souls. Stand tall against those who make us suffer.

The human brain has long been hardwired to do whatever it is that ensures its survival! That gets the hungry in trouble, gets “others” all tied up, it gets victims & survivors in trouble sometimes too. It rarely gets the wealthy perpetrators in trouble if at all…

Reality check: Trump and the Republicans didn’t mislead anybody on their immigration actions. This is exactly what they want. Brutality. This is who they are. Quit rationalizing Republican behavior and vote the fuckers out.

For the record! There is no amount of money that could entice me to turn on you and deliver you harm.
I won’t start a fight, I won’t run from it, but I will defend you and all who are in need, in the very best way I can. I don’t understand any other way to exist.

Just made myself the best margarita I’ve ever had x2 😇
2 oz Tequila 1 oz Orange Liqueur/Grand Marnier
1 oz Fresh Lime Juice. Lime rubbed flaked sea salt around the rim. Feels good to relax against all the evil swirling just outside our front door.

Madeleine Peyroux, Macy Gray, Esperanza Spalding, Cécile McLorin Salvant, Norah Jones, Jazzmeia Horn, and Melody Gardot- my favorite jazz singers over the last 25 years or so. Absolutely worth listening to for various reasons

“You can’t beat death, but you can beat death in life”
Can’t quite remember whose quote that is, maybe Bukowski. A bit like MLK telling us that hate can’t beat hate, only love can conquer hate. don’t remember which came first…

No Somali Fraud. He had a camera, gun taken, face down, shot 10 times in the back. The young lady turns her car away, pulls away slow, gets shot 3 times in the head. Both victims, like many Black folk slain in the past, more powerful than their murderer.

The 2nd most powerful Civil Rights cinematic statement of 1967. I’ll tweet the number one Cinematic Civil Rights statement of 1967 as soon as I get to it. Of course, Guess Who’s Coming to Dinner does it more delicately but perhaps just as powerful…
