It may not be cool or hip in some circles, but we legitimately do need a massive amount of people to run for office.
Flood the school boards, councils, county seats, state legislatures, Congress, etc.
Big changes at the top happen when the ground shifts at the bottom. And that can start now.

"You've been chosen," the spirit said.
"What?"
"Save the world, make it kinder, cleaner, safer."
"Me?"
"Yes."
"Alone?"
"We chose everyone."

Those of us of a certain age from a certain place are being retraumatized this evening. I remember watching the crash of Air Florida 90 live on prime time television. It's hard to ever erase those horrible images.

The Capitol Breach Cases page is now down, as predicted - that's why it was archived earlier this week. This page linked to over 1200 Jan 6 cases, with charging documents (indictments, statements of fact, sentencing memos, etc.). This material is still on PACER but is also saved as a collection. 1/
The Department of Justice has just DELETED its four-year-old webpage on the US Capitol riot investigations.

I got to explain the 14th amendment to my class today. Many didn’t know it was a reconstruction amendment. This is why one of the best things we can do is provide the history behind what leads to the madness. People truly don’t know.

On January 20th, 1986, national HUG day was started.
Now, a 10-second hug lowers blood pressure by increasing the feel-good hormone oxytocin and lowering the stress chemical cortiscal. Now you know why I give BIG HUG.

As the Reverend Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. wisely said, "Our lives begin to end the day we become silent about things that matter." Today and every day, I pledge to never silence my voice in the fight for what is right, and I will continue to march in the path he forged toward justice.

I know this sounds weak, I know it.
But kindness is one of the few things we carry that can make a difference for each other.
We can’t undo all this hate, but we can still make life a little easier for others.
