Today is the 70th anniversary of Rosa Parks' arrest. Six myths: 1) She wasn't old or tired. 42 years old that day, she had a "life history of being rebellious" & had spent two decades helping to turn the Montgomery NAACP into a more activist branch alongside ED Nixon and Johnnie Carr.

Given the racist, anti-history bent of our current government and its efforts to whitewash and erase history I have zero expectation that there will be an official acknowledgement of the fact that today, Aug. 23 is the International Day for the Remembrance of the Slave Trade and Its Abolition.

More of this! Thank you Representative Keating.

This may work for MAGA but MAGA is not the entire country & I, for one, am sick of the GOP acting as Mean Girls.
Republican congressman Keith Self introduced transgender Representative Sarah McBride as "Mr. McBride."

Sarah snapped back and called him madam chair.

Dem Congressman Bill Keating went off on Rep. Self and adjourned the meeting over his lack of decorum and purposeful targeting of Sarah McBride.

In honor of International Women’s Day, I think it is an excellent time to accentuate the excellence of Caribbean pens. Though some of these women have joined the ancestors, their words live on, and they have much to teach us all.
