Why aren’t we looking into corporate welfare? In the United States, it costs taxpayers billions each year, with estimates ranging from $92 billion to $100 billion annually. Meanwhile, USAID costs only $40 billion. Hmmm… doesn’t add up.

Every time I read about banning books, I think of this:
Reading a book with a gay character will not make you gay any more than reading a book about Einstein will make you a genius.
If you're afraid that books might change someone's thinking, you're not afraid of books — you're afraid of thinking.

Starting to head home today. This road trip has given me time in nature & away from media, which I desperately needed to stop vacillating between fear & rage. I have no big plans. Yet. Well, except for protecting my heart & mind & doing what I can to support #resistance. I hope for #nonviolence.
