Hi #kidlitartpostcard! I’m Veronica, sticking my head up every once in a while from coloring GN pages to see what everyone’s up to. I love sci-fi, fantasy and adventure! This is from a comic where 2 cousins find powerful mecha and need to save their city while the local superhero guardian is away.

Jasmine Crockett: "The problem is that Americans thought it was okay to take a full fledged criminal and make him the President of the US and then they want to act aghast when he does criminal things. Let me tell you, we have a thug in charge of the US and if we don't wake up we may not have a US"

When I was a Hill staffer in 2009, a Dem trifecta was trying to pass universal healthcare. In response, Senate GOP released a memo detailing all of the tactics they in the minority could use to delay the effort as much as possible. I'm recirculating that 2009 GOP memo here. Take inspiration from it.

Black History Month reminds us that the fight for justice and equality is ongoing. As we honor the trailblazers who paved the way, let’s remain vigilant against those who seek to undermine our progress. Our history teaches us resilience; our future demands our action. #BlackHistoryMonth

A fact I like to point out in my classes is that by the beginning of the Civil War, every white-controlled Christian denomination in the American South had developed a pro-slavery theology and adopted it as their official position- except for the Quakers.
Oh, per @nbcnews.com: Quaker groups file suit over the end of policy restricting ICE arrests in houses of worship.
Note: Quakers were some of the earliest supporters of Sanctuary, even putting out a booklet on the topic in 1984 (it's still available). www.nbcnews.com/politics/nat...

The suit appears to be the first from a faith-based organization challenging the change in court.

Teachers and schools need to know that we are not required to give up our kids. We do not have to open our doors to ICE or the police. Morally, obviously, but also legally. We are our students' legal guardians when they are in our care and we should be making the right call for students' safety.
ICE showed up Friday morning to Hamline Elementary School, located in the New City neighborhood, principal Natasha Ortega said at a news conference.
“We will not open our doors for ICE, and we are here to protect our children and make sure they have access to an excellent education,” Ortega said.

Monthly reminder: Many people have a book in them, but it takes a special kind of freak to leave the Land of Laziness, cross the Plains of Procrastination and Insecurity Mountain, find the Blade of No One Made You Do This, and use it to cut your chest open and yank that book out.

This is a brave but savvy move by Amazon workers. A lot of folks will be tempted to cross the line for the 'deals' but equally Amazon relies heavily on this weekend. If the union can dint the takings (if we can show them our solidarity for one weekend) it will make a big difference. Stand with them
Just a reminder that Amazon workers are striking tomorrow through Monday, and that none of the “deals” are good enough to justify crossing the picket line.
