The USA has had two major plane crashes in the last 4 days.

The USA had previously not suffered a major plane crash for 16 years.

‘DEI’ programs have existed for decades.

So what was it that changed in the last 14 days or so to suddenly cause so many crashes?

A true fact of life.
If you can't look back at your younger self and realize that you were an idiot, you are probably still an idiot.

The cruelty is the point.
They want you to panic.
They want you to give up.
They want you dead.
Don’t let them win.
You have to live.
Better days can only come if you’re still here.

I kept spending money waiting for my 9-year-old to feel the magic I felt when I was a kid, but it felt like I was doing everything wrong.
I spent so much money at Disney World waiting for the magic to happen. The magic happened in mundane moments, not by buying things.

Apps and ankle monitors that track asylum seekers. Databases packed with fingerprints and faces. To carry out mass deportations, President Trump's administration could access a stockpile of tools that is nearly unmatched in the Western world, according to an analysis by The New York Times.
The Surveillance Tools That Could Power Trump’s Immigration Crackdown
Border enforcement agencies have spent billions assembling surveillance tools to track and find people. These could be critical in President Trump’s immigration agenda.

I’m so sorry, Christopher. Please know we will always remember and honor your mom’s uncle. That bigoted behemoth in the White House will never succeed in erasing the legacy of the brave, brilliant Tuskegee Airmen.

I get asked “why are you always talking about racism. You have an easy life.”
Me: There’s no easy life for Black folks. Everything I work for could be gone tomorrow. All I have is the fight in me. I will use my voice, platform, position, words, and the freckles on my face til freedom rings or I die.

This is why every party needs a cleric.
"In just under two-and-a-half minutes, Bishop Mariann Budde, fully comfortable in her own skin and righteously firm in Christ’s teachings, did more to challenge Trump than the whole of American political media in the past ten weeks."

A “hoax.”

I have experienced a curious mix of feelings while having a significant portion of my life’s work in books and the art of my friends distorted and vandalized by post-literate fascists for the last few years. The feelings right now are uniquely awful.

A reminder we are on the same side. Please be kind. We need each other right now. Stay away from hypocritical, word policing, and finding fault. Give each other the benefit of the doubt and positive support. Thank you!
