Enjoyed speaking at Baxter Library last night.
Appropriate discussions after 1/2 of Dept of Ed was cut. Highest impact on its Civil Rights Division!!
Education, History, and Civil Rights are in ever increasing jeopardy!!

Like the quintessential "naked dream," my wife and I showed up in Monument Sq. for a planned demonstration and were the only ones there!! Out there making "good trouble" all by ourselves. Hope John Lewis and MLK Jr. noticed. Today was the 60th anniversary of Bloody Sunday.

2025--The Master Plan?
Wreck the gov't agencies we need, then billionaires privatize them and sell those same services back to us for profit.
Don't believe me? See Russia under Putin.
This stuff's real.

A news reporter stated that Republicans are starting to care about cuts to CDC and NIH because curtailing the study of bird flu might raise egg prices. I hope she was being facetious.
