How ever much they are hurting? It’s not enough
From a good friend in Minneapolis: "Target is allowing ICE to stage in their parking lots, use their restrooms, and abduct people from inside their stores - so if you weren’t boycotting already, now is the time." They were staging in Chicago as well.

One of the ways your racism is manifesting as a white person that you probably don't notice is that you have horrible manners with Black people. You have a terrible attitude when you meet real Black people. You don't say excuse me & can barely look them in the eye. That's over 80% of white people.

I’ve gained 30-40 lbs this year and it’s a lot to take in. I think I can still proud of myself though for how my relationship with food is possibly at its healthiest. Now it’s just time to adjust *when* I eat not so much *what* I eat. What a strange thing.
