Friends, Claudette Colvin—the 15-year-old who refused to give up her seat on a Montgomery bus in March 1955 & joined the federal case against bus segregation that went to the Supreme Court — died today at age 86. But there are lots of myths and mis-impressions about her. A short corrective thread:
Fuck this. Either we start pushing back, HARD and NOW, or this gets forgotten in the never-ending flooding of the zone with shit, becomes the new normal, part of the background noise of this petty tyrant.

Attorney General Bondi sent me a letter last week. It purports to notify me that Washington state “has been identified” as a “so-called sanctuary jurisdiction” — on grounds that her letter makes no effort whatsoever to explain.

Proud to be a Washingtonian. Proud of my governor.
Celebrating how our black siblings have enriched our nation and our lives. I want a lot more of THIS attitude. We won't win if we don't fight. Time to take being allies seriously--black, brown, Jews, Christians, Muslims and others, men, women, nonbinary...all of good faith and compassion. LFG.
Happy Black History Month/Life to all! With the ridiculous yet predictable attempted erasure of black culture in the United States, I’m stepping into this month with this energy.
We got this if we lean on one another and the ancestors. We have been here before and made it. We will do it again.
