After one of the worst acts of racial terror in our history, *we erased it.*

We didn't teach it.

We didn't take anyone to trial.

Police records disappeared.

So did newspaper archives.

The silence continued until 2020, when people, you could say, woke up.

DHS / ICE appears to have rolled out their new cell phone tracking platform in DC. I'm getting these every 5-10 minutes on my phone.

Kristi Noem, Tom Homan, and Pam Bondi need to be jailed for life.

A owner of a small grocery store told me he has never, in 15 years of business, cleaned the blades of his meat saws. He says they clean the meat debris that is brushed off, but taking the blades off is dangerous so they don't touch them unless they need to be replaced. I kept it calm but what??? 😱😱😱

Seeing a lot of posts about John Brown from Black voices and not from white voices, so I'll add my piece.

Brown believed that fighting for equality was an obvious *baseline* for any follower of God or history.

Brown believed that all equality needed to happen was more people fighting for it.

Wow, this is great.
The Virginia Senate just told UVA it’s not getting state funding if it accepts the compact since UVA exists to serve Virginia, its residents, & their interests—not be a tool of the federal govt.

MCPS is redrawing school boundaries before Woodward HS opens in 2027—while Bethesda-area schools will largely stay the same, high schools in Silver Spring will become even more segregated by class and race. bethesdamagazine.com/2025/10/09/w...
New Woodward High boundary options keep current Whitman, Bethesda-Chevy Chase attendance zones
Attendance zones for Walt Whitman and Bethesda-Chevy Chase high schools would remain the same while those for schools such as Walter Johnson High and Northwood High School would shift.

Irony: when there is a rat problem, I ask communities to close their dumpster lids and doors. That is the last thing they want to do, because people will leave their trash on the ground instead of opening and closing the dumpster. Humans are the true rats?!?

The way people get mocked for not knowing something is part of the reason folks pretend to be experts on every topic.

Earlier this year, ProPublica found that the sepsis rate in second-trimester pregnancy loss hospitalizations increased by more than 50% under Texas’ abortion ban.
