"One morning I woke up and I knew you were really gone
A new day, a new way, and new eyes to see the dawn
Go your way, I'll go mine and carry on"

The Supreme Court’s majority right wing indicated in oral arguments that they think racism is over on the same day that the vice president defended the “I love Hitler” guy, and that the NYT reported that the current administration plans to accept only white, English-speaking refugees.

Solace for your soul

Jacqueline Antonovich @jackiantonovich.bsky.social · 15h

As a historian, I can certify that we are in the bad times. But bad times eventually end.
In the meantime:
• Figure out a small way to help someone
• Figure out a small way to fight back
• Figure out a small place to find joy
• Figure out a small way to grow and thrive

And do it often.

NEW: A huge ice sculpture of the word “DEMOCRACY” is currently melting away in front of the US Capitol.

Organized by artists and activists, it was commissioned by the Up In Arms campaign, an effort led by Ben Cohen, the cofounder of Ben & Jerry’s ice cream.

We don’t know how these gentle souls landed in the slaughter pipeline. The black horse, Captain, has a lot of grey on his face. Old grey, Sawyer, doesn’t need a rider on his back. They both need a soft landing and retirement. Any help you can give is greatly appreciated.

We’re fundraising for Sawyer & Captain, 2 senior mustangs born in 1997 and 2000. We don’t know how they landed in this kill pen facing shipping to slaughter. Deeply bonded, they’ve been together for decades and we’re determined to save them and keep them together. To Donate: bit.ly/3I1ucWT
