"I cannot help you," the boar-god said.
"All I can give you is one night of sleep. No dreams or demons or doubts will approach you."
"Thank you," I said.
"It is a small thing," said the boar-god, "but small things are the beginning of courage."

Congress must leverage the power of the purse to hold Donald Trump accountable.
I will vote against ANY spending legislation that provides funding to ICE. Not one dollar for cruelty and cover-ups.

Dr. King believed our democracy would only make sense when every child was fed, every mind was educated, and every community had dignity and freedom.
That vision is still unfolding. So, on this MLK Day, let us recommit to the work of building the world he dared to imagine.

"Hew closely to party lines" badly understates disapproval of the shooting.
1) ~2x as many people say "not justified" (54-28)
2) Independents say "not justified" by ~3-1 margin (61-21)
3) Only Republicans support the shooting, and they do so by much smaller margin (52 pts) than D's disapprove (90).

A small story:
It's not often that I see myself in someone who lived over 250,000 years ago.
I assert there's something specifically adult-relaxing about folding laundry on a Sunday afternoon as you watch a documentary.
Actually, there's science to back this up.

America's wealth was built on slavery. It's not that white contributions didn't exist; it's that the engines of our prosperity burned blood as fuel.
It's that even after slavery ended, systemic racism, segregation, disenfranchisement & oppression continued to strip mine wealth from Blacks.

"We have deluded ourselves into believing the myth that Capitalism grew out of the Protestant ethic of hard work and sacrifice.
The fact is that Capitalism was built on the exploitation and suffering of Black slaves and continues to thrive on the exploitation of the poor."

New reports from Iran reveal that at least 16,500 Iranians were killed during a two-day massacre following protests against the Tehran regime.
That’s one person executed every 10 seconds.
