Today is #RLSDay which marks the birthday of the Scottish writer Robert Louis Stevenson who would have been 175 today.
It's also a good day to remember that it is NOT actually his birthday because in 1891 he gave it away to a young girl because she didn't like her birthday. 🧵

This is yet another example of how you beat the far right. By beating them, not trying to be them. By having your own agenda, not aping theirs. With courage and conviction - and humour - not fear and timidity.

Pretending to the world that you are the president of peace while waging war at home is diabolical.

Alright I went with the foreground I took with this shot. A car driving in front of me, 60 second exposure. The final version is a little darker and foreboding than the first one, but I think that fits the vibe of the shot more.

Incredible psyched to be able to get this 33 miles from SF.

Hey everyone, in the heat of things, I originally saw this quote in a piece in the Nation, and their quote has since been updated to specify that it was specific to Joy Reid, Michelle Obama, etc.

But Kirk’s clearly anti-black statements speak for themselves:
