🎶Still there's many who've turned off their porch lights
Just so I would think they're not home
And hid in the dark of their windows
'Til I'd passed and left them alone🎶
Everyone knew: All it takes is a couple of white martyrs and ICE's tactics would be curbed...

It so crazy that white people hated MLK so much that they killed him and now they just act like that didn’t happen. Like you gave him a holiday but do you remember why he’s dead?

Is that not insane?

All these years later, the different lyrics of the same song by two artists still represent my spirit best.

This is surreal. 4 Oglala Lakota men kidnapped by ICE in Minneapolis have finally been located. One of them was released but the other 3 are being held at Fort Snelling, a former concentration camp used to imprison Native people incl. the Dakota 38 during Dakota Wars.

At least Obama's hypothetical Death Panels would have decided who deserved to die based on a rubric more complicated than "did they just piss off a high school dropout armed by the state"

#UNIONSTRONG 💪💪💪💪

I had no doubt our fearless @uaw.org would protect their union brother from being retaliated against by the gov for exercising his #1A rights.

MORE SO, I’m elated that they put the onus on the person who is truly responsible for this-POTUS.

Claudette Colvin, brown-skinned Civil Rights Icon & Freedom Fighter, sit wherever you want in Heaven! This 'rebellious' 15yo refused to meekly give up her seat, in the rear Black bus section to white supremacy was bold when others cowered.
Bad Little Black Girl!

There's no reason for ICE agents to have guns. Nobody is shooting at them.

Can you accept - even w/o agreeing with all our positions - that Black people know profound truths about this country that are not on Schoolhouse Rock?

Now that the tactics they’ve used in our communities are becoming national policy, are you ready to concede that you need our “expertise” as well?
I’m glad to see Bill say this. But when after a century of just the type of abuse we saw today - relentless and cruel, ensnaring our children and intimidating our communities - young Black people said in frustration, anger, and demand for change “defund the police” - so many of you denounced them.

You say “conversate” instead of “converse”.

Yesterday, witnessed an elder railing about not getting what she was owed (propers) from younger folk according to old traditions. She didn't realize how bad she looked & I felt pity. Late last night, I couldn't get a Google Doc to upload to a website & have been irrationally angry all-freakin-DAY!!

Detroit, Alabama, New Orleans by way of Mexico: Red kidney beans with smoked ham & hot sausage over a dirty rice mix made with leftover ground turkey (who knew?!) and homemade Colby cheese & jalapeño cornbread (a little cakey but good). So satisfying for an arctic night, y'all!
