6 lives…so far. History lover (esp. American), science lover, attorney, mother, local activist, former actor-producer. So much to learn; so little time. New Orleans—a curse and a blessing.

Today’s No Kings protest could be the largest single-day protest in U.S. history.

People have power.

I have always loved @propublica.org's mission statement. It speaks to method as much as mission, and does not shrink from describling their journalism as a moral undertaking. www.propublica.org/about/

Netanyahu and the Israeli govt have destroyed 50 years of good will by the way they’ve chosen and persisted — and persisted — in waging this war, both in Gaza and in the West Bank. They have committed war crimes. And now they’re “concerned”?

“[S]he recalls as a teenager asking her grandmother: ‘Why do they think just because I’m Black I’m going to steal from them?’

Her grandmother replied: ‘Guard your spirit, Ketanji. To dwell on the unfairness of life is to be devoured by it.’”

Such wise words.

Justice Ketanji Brown Jackson is trying to warn us about something. Are we listening?
Jackson enters her fourth year on the supreme court on Monday. As its fiercest liberal voice wary of Trump’s growing power, she faces an intense battle ahead

Next time I see someone wearing a slogan like that, or denouncing “Socialism”, I need to ask him/her to explain to me what they think Socialism is.
Starting point.

Just saw a dude in a diner wearing a Smokey Bear shirt that said "Only you can prevent SOCIALISM" and my brother in Christ, how do I tell you that Smokey is a government-owned, government-created entity

Confirms, again, that the Republican agenda, for the last 30 years has been to decimate public education. It’s escalated since Trump I - exponentially.

WATCH: Gov. Bill Lee’s private school voucher scam is welfare for the wealthy.

Lee tells WKRN his only *wish* is to give more of our public dollars to private schools. www.wkrn.com/news/tenness...

Seems to me there’s escalating evidence for a massive class action lawsuit against ICE for systemic 4th Amendment violations.

Searching an entire apartment building, zip tying children, and detaining citizens 100% constitutes unreasonable searches and seizures. One example of many.
