We need to be "WOKE" - in the TRUE sense of the word.
Back in the 30s it was coined as the word for the phrase "stay woke", by the African-American community.
It was their way of saying "STAY AWAKE, BE AWARE OF WHAT IS AROUND YOU!"
Now the GOP uses it to call out anything they don't like!

Potato Pancakes sound like they could be a side dish for every night of the week, depending on how you top them. I used to be a sour cream girl. How would you top these? Sweet or Savory? 🍽️ 🍜 #FoodSky #Cooking #Recipes #RecipeOfTheDay

Happy Lunar New Year!

Good luck has never been so simple: Just three ingredients and a sauce is all you need to get a hearty Chinese New Year’s meal, AND a long life.

Recipe is live in the Hideout now! 🍜

Shrove Tuesday, so I this morning I channeled my inner Amish and made some fasnachts to celebrate. OK, they're not truly fasnachts since there were no mashed potatoes or lard involved, but still pretty dang tasty. 🍽️ 🍜 #breadsky

A true Hurricane needs no revision. Light and dark rum, passion fruit, citrus, and a 151 float. A perfected New Orleans classic, mixed as written and honored as doctrine on this Fat Tuesday. Respect scripture. #TheOutpost #Cooking #Cooksky #Foodsky #Cocktail #Recipe

Fat Tuesday in Wisconsin means the local bakeries are stocking pączki, Czech jelly-filled doughnuts. They are delicious and rich.

This dozen is to share with my new coworkers and will be doughnut roulette because I don't even know the flavors chosen.

Even this is a massive understatement of the actual costs, since all of those things require advance planning, paperwork, and (in some cases) scheduling document retrievals (often only possible during work hours). The cost doesn't have to be high in dollars to be a prohibitive tax on voters.
It costs $130 + a $35 facility fee to obtain a passport and an extra $30 for a passport card. In California, fees for certified copies of vital records are between $18 and $31 each. How is the SAVE Act not a poll tax?

America has lost a titan in the struggle for civil rights and racial justice. From his days at the side of Dr. King, to his moral leadership in this century, Rev. Jesse Jackson, Sr. spent his life pushing our nation closer to its own ideal.

Jesse Jackson appeared on Sesame Street in 1973.

During his appearance, he led a group of children in reciting his well-known poem “I Am Somebody,” a message focused on self-worth and empowerment

The segment became one of the most memorable celebrity appearances from the early seasons of the show.
