multiple forms of resistance. one of my favorites, Getting knowledge in hands of students. This community lift fills a void of texts in the school system. Teacher + community + book connections + drop off to the classroom = 35 students get The Autobiography of Malcolm X

You wouldn’t vacation in Dachau in 1935. Don’t vacation in Florida in 2025.
We’re calling for a Florida boycott over the inhumane “Alligator Alcatraz” detention site. Cancel your family vacation and choose a different destination this summer.

The Due Process Clause, found in both the Fifth and Fourteenth Amendments, protects individuals from being deprived of "life, liberty, or property" without fair procedures. The Fifth Amendment applies to the federal government, while the Fourteenth Amendment applies to states.

I put a hold on Ed Martin’s nomination.
He’s denied elections. Fired quality public servants. Attempted to chill free speech.
Turns out he’s also carrying water for the Kremlin.
So wholly unfit to be a U.S. Attorney.
