I wish I had the freedom Ezra Klein has to see my role as a “curious explorer.” Nah we are looking for safety. Over acceptance. Over agreement. Safety. And beyond that, telling the truth. podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/t...

Do you want to be right or do you want a more perfect Union? I ask my students this question to reflect on approaches to civic engagement.
We will never all agree but we can and have debated, negotiated and made something we can live with as we strive for better and more perfect. 1/2

Yesterday, I said out loud, "A Black man was lynched today."
I'm still processing that.

The United States Military Academy has just eliminated all Cadet clubs and activities for POC. Most of these have existed for decades like the Society of Black Engineers. They were there when I was a Cadet in 1987. All of the religious ones remain. This isn’t DEI. It’s white Christian Nationalism.

Twas the night before clinic and all though the house not a creature was stirring, not even a mouse. Though there isn’t a peep, I still cannot sleep and pray in the morning I’ll sprout.

Part of grieving (for me) is anger. Followed by guilt. None of us make it out of here alive but who said it was okay for YOU to up and leave us? Leave me? Sis. WTH? Daddy. You said I’d be okay. I am not. Mom. I will never get over this. Miss B. This is too much. Then I feel bad for being angry. 💔🙏🏾🕊️
