Mariann E. Budde is my new hero. A grey-haired woman who stood at her pulpit and spoke directly to our President respectfully and passionately. Be proud Episcopalians. (I was baptized in the Episcopalian church but I converted to Judaism 15 years ago. I’m also proud of the many rabbis speaking out!)

At the inauguration, Justice Ketanji Brown Jackson wore a distinctive collar adorned with cowrie shells, which are believed to offer protection from evil in African traditions.

After tomorrow there’s no excuse for any cis person to tsk tsk & pretend this is someone else’s fight. He’s starting his presidency by outlawing the humanity of some, which is outlawing the humanity of all.
