After meeting the President and Mrs. Carter in 2001, I mailed a thank-you note to them. I sent along this pic, as a gift. I did *not* ask for anything in return. Two weeks later, in my mailbox was the returned photo, which both of these great souls had signed. ❤️❤️Jimmy Carter - 1924-2024 ❤️❤️

When a nation rewards spectacle, it eventually gets a clown with a crown. Power is supposed to serve—not entertain.

I'm looking forward to next Wednesday evening's live conversation with the actor Chris Bruno, who in 1995-97 played a high school history teacher on "All My Children"--a character based a wee bit on my experiences as a high school history teacher in 1994. The feed:

Not enough. Every single ICE and CBP agent should be out of Minnesota. The terror campaign must stop.

Federal Judges have a very real and well-established reason to fear doxing and violence and yet I doubt anyone thinks it would be acceptable for them to preside from the bench in a hood.

The only way out is a total repudiation of the Republican Party. Not one vote for any Republican politician anywhere on the ballot anywhere in the country. Total boycott of the GOP.

This year marks the 100th anniversary of Black History Month, the first history month in world history.
Black History Month is a time to recognize the lived, shared experience of all Black folks who have fundamentally shaped, challenged, and ultimately strengthened America. It’s about taking an unvarnished look at the past so that we can create a better future.

I’m ok. I’m a survivor so this small agitator isn’t going to intimidate me from doing my work.
