For some, faith guides us. And in a country where religion is used as a terrible weapon right now, we have the power to remind our religious leaders that they are called to serve all of us. And they must.

"It's humanity that really makes the difference." This is Ken at the Arvada RAGE Against the Regime protest today, talking about how the government must work for us, and bringing back the values of Dr. King.
This is the story of the people. This is what democracy looks like. The beating heart.

Movie April 5This extraordinary, 2023 full-length documentary explores the 1919 Elaine Arkansas Race Massacre, the bloodiest state-sponsored race massacre in the U.S., and its legacies of harm to Black farmers, residents and the environment. I saw this film and highly recommend it. buff.ly/Z8NECZd

Analysis: Trump vs. Black History Month | CNN Politics
There is a disconnect between what President Donald Trump is saying to honor Black History Month and what much of his government is doing to forget it exists.

I was just a Senior Advisor in the Department of Education in the Obama administration, but if I were an ex president and the current president were making such a mess of things, I think I’d say something.
I was just an Education Department guy under Reagan and the most junior WH senior staffer under G.H.W. Bush, so what do I know? But if I were an ex-president, and the current president were executing the most disastrous turn in American foreign policy in 80 years, I think I might say something?

On Presidents' Day I went to a ACLU rally. They scheduled a library room for 100 people. The room filled up, they opened another room for 100 people. After that people stood in the hall. ACLU wants us to telephone members of Congress. Do you think calling members makes them vote differently?

As a former political appointee at ED, the scariest sentence in this report for me is that cut "appear to be arbitrary, and not rooted in any political or policy goals." Students in America deserve better.
How Elon Musk's DOGE took over the Education Department, one office at a time
President Donald Trump wants to dismantle the Department of Education. He can't eliminate it without Congress, but Elon Musk's DOGE can slowly starve it.

I am a retired government employee. So I worried about reports that OPM was taken over by Musk. This afternoon I logged-in to my OPM account. I didn't see anything that surprised me. Are all retirees having the same experience?

Being a white male does not make one competent. Racism denies America the full benefit of women/people of color being full contributors. DEI helps organizations identify and root out racism so organizations have all the talent in the American workforce to hire. DEI does not cause airplane crashes.
