I feel like I still have time to elevate mentally and physically. Learn things I haven’t learned yet. Do things I haven’t done yet. Long as I have breath in my body, I’m a student.

Black History Month Day 1:
We celebrate Assata Shakur who escaped prison after she was sentenced to life in a sham trial by an all white jury for the shooting of a state trooper.

She fled to Pittsburgh and eventually Cuba where she was granted political asylum. She remains free

I love how in unison most Black people are. We know the vibes.

Of course you’re gonna have outliers but i truly love how most of us just *GET IT* and move accordingly.

Asking tough questions is how you deal with politicians.

Finding solutions is how you deal with voters
Haven't you been screaming about how Dems are not 'asking the tough questions'?

Ida Wells was born in enslavement with her family and later emancipated. She became an anti-lynching crusader who used the power of journalism to raise awareness about the most extreme horrors of life under Jim Crow.

Few material things can provide perspective. This does for me.

Photo of Otto Frank, returning to his family’s hiding place. In 1944, an informant betrayed them and the family was sent to Auschwitz.

His wife (Edith) was murdered, his daughters (Margot & Anne) died of Typhus.

If you ask library workers to describe their dream library, one of the first things they’ll mention is having a social worker at the library (emphasizing the extraordinary helpers that they are!) 💚

Love that the Miami-Dade Library has social services to help neighbors access resources & programs ✨

my tiktok feed showed me a video of construction laborers hiding under the floor during an ICE visit. a CA farm worker talking about ICE picking up other workers. and a Latino man assaulted by his white neighbor, who the police refused to do anything about.

fucking bleak.

I made a 50 year old rich Black man start talking to his golf buddies about how misogyny has them in a chokehold. To the point that they FaceTime me during their tee times to tell me the ways they corrected themselves throughout the week. They be so proud to report. Men are literal toddlers 😭
