I haven’t seen a single newsroom seriously grappling with how Trump’s 47 agenda is positioned to terrorize the humanity and sanity of Black Americans. It’s loud, violent erasure wrapped in patriotism and scripture—and folks are pretending it’s just politics.

Today in history, 1969: The heavily polluted Cuyahoga River catches fire due to trapped debris and oil slicks, likely ignited by a passing train. It was not unusual, extinguished quickly and caused little damage, but it became a symbol for the Clean Water movement. /1

I think we [us] have made things too easy for this country. For centuries, we’ve postured ourselves as grateful, graceful and forgiving people… while we simultaneously find ourselves in brutal mental and physical battles nearly every decade begging for rights and freedoms that are innate.

One might have thought that last November, when Missourians voted to enshrine “reproductive freedom" in the state constitution, that would have been the end of the conversation.
Alas, the Missouri Supreme Court doesn’t seem to be inclined to listen. This week, the court halted abortions.

We can keep discussing these societal issues year after year, but nothing is likely to change. Instead, it’s up to you to take proactive steps to protect yourself and your family and live with the reassurance that you can protect your life if the threat arises—plain and simple.
