The Fletcher sisters say for them, getting an education in the predominantly white Washington County School District has been more about surviving than thriving.
Every time they think they have turned the page on racism, another ugly incident occurs.

Perfect encapsulation of what makes reactionary centrists so dangerous: They genuinely believe it's possible to spend their entire careers amplifying right-wing messages without taking any responsibility for right-wing legislation.
I scoffed when I saw this headline.
Without going MAGA, ok, but it’s reaction, and from a crowd critics call “reactionary centrists.”

Come to find out it's his birthday. But I just posted this song because it's lovely to listen to on the fall equinox. Veneration of the ancestor John Coltrane is a must today.

Belatedly read this today. While many no longer need convincing that the US prison system is evil, this is among the more damning accounts. As prison populations age we are increasingly looking the other way as folks who don’t even remember their crimes are punished.

America’s prisons are filling up with people who are so old, they don’t remember their crimes.
