Took this pic a while back. The words from k.d. lang's "Wash, Wash Me Clean" popped into my head as the image personifies the song.

My desire
Carries no shame
...
Wash
Wash me clean
Mend my wounded seams
Cleanse my tarnished dreams

On Jan. 23, 1964, the 24th Amendment to the United States Constitution, prohibiting the use of poll taxes in national elections, was ratified.

The poll tax was ultimately abolished by the TX Legislature in 1966 when it repealed poll taxes for state and local elections.

Six years ago today, Wuhan China, a city of 11 Million people was sealed off from the world. The entire city was quarantined. It was the first significant attempt to stop the spread of COVID19.

Within weeks other cities, then countries shut themselves off from the rest of the world...

Theme from "Shaft" by Isaac Hayes.

Isaac Hayes almost did not receive the Oscar for Best Original Song in 1972 because some members of the Academy argued that since he could not read or write music notation, the composition did not legally count as his. Hmmm....

A jury acquitted former Uvalde CISD police officer Adrian Gonzales of all charges in the first criminal trial tied to the Uvalde shooting.

The public expects an effective and swift response from law enforcement to these threats. If the police won't protect us, We NEED stronger gun control laws!

The most impressive meeting in Davos is with the Ukrainian war heroes.

They share experiences from the battle field. Their bravery and innovative capacity is outstanding.

These are the defenders of freedom and security in Europe, and deserve our full attention and support! 🇳🇱🇺🇦
