Also, courage is contagious. I continue to stand against American fascism in the hope that others will take heart, too.

As we prep for the "No Kings" protest this Saturday, Andrew Young's work with Dr. King on nonviolent protests inspires us. Young received our Democracy Award for decades of protecting voter rights in Georgia.

DON’T MEMORY HOLE ELON MUSK’S NAZI SALUTE
It’s been 4 weeks and 1 day since Elon Musk loudly vocalized his support for Nazi ideology
Everything that has happened since has happened with the guidance of an open Nazi
This should be repeated in articles, regularly

I'm a little late to the game, but I loved Kendrick Lamar's Super Bowl performance. As I study it, I love the layers and complexity of the show. Ms. Tiana Clark wrote an excellent opinion to the NYT that is helping me understand the significance.

So all NTSB information for the plane / Blackhawk crash is being funneled through X only. And it’s buried deep in the news as Musk starts moving towards X being a formal means of communication that he unilaterally controls.

The NTSB says it will only notify the media about press conferences and investigative updates on two recent plane crashes via the social media platform X.

Yesterday, a friend shared a wonderful phrase with me: 'DIY DEI.' The idea is to consciously choose women, people of color, and other underrepresented groups when buying goods and services. For me, the principle is simple: If all things are relatively equal, I choose DEI opportunities.

My county has a low population but quite a few dealers. @davidblakejohnson.bsky.social, it would be great to a % of the county population to better compare. Thanks for doing this!
🧵 This is a professional and personal story. I recently met economist @davidblakejohnson.bsky.social here on Bluesky, and we’ve brought his gun-related data to life in a dashboard. Short story: you can now look up how many firearms dealers are in your county. Link: chadtopaz.shinyapps.io/gunDash/
