No joke: I got angry hate mail today for writing an obituary of a Black woman scientist—because the person felt she did didn’t deserve the recognition.

This!
I call my senators / congresswoman often.
It's my duty, and it's not difficult *at all*. What's actually difficult about it is pushing through my resentment.
These are folks I pay *really well* to be decent.
And I resent having to PLEAD with them to do be decent.
It makes me feel crazy.

I’ve joined and made my calls. Won’t you please do the same?
Today would be a good day to join @indivisible.org.
Fighting is not only about street protests; it's also about engaging in and strengthening our communities.
Rather than scream into the void, be part of the change. Imagine if a million people joined today.
Pass it on.

I hate him.
I can and should hate this malevolence.
All decent, loving, compassionate people should.
Good people should unapologetically hate atrocities against humanity.
Christians should be fighting it instead of cultivating it.

If the Clintons testified then theoretically they could throw everyone under the bus and we’d be done with this awfulness. Maybe they should think about taking one for the entire country.
