#InvestinPublicEducation. How are the children?
On World Kindness day, (which we need more than ever) I’m remembering the kindest person I had the honor of meeting. My mother who passed away 5 years ago today. Pass along kindness.

Alternatively, we could. #InvestInPublicEducation. And materially changed people’s lives to the better.
The U.S. spends $13.6 billion every year locking people up who haven't even been convicted of a crime.

Fear will try to convince us to isolate, to hoard resources, to avoid community, to build the least threatening campaigns making little impact.
A grounded risk assessment will move us closer to each other, it’ll remind us of that we are millions, it’ll make our work more bold and more brave.

One of the defining features of authoritarian society is the ruthless but selective use of the machinery of repression—and associated propaganda about criminality and “order”—to immunize predatory behavior of the powerful while crushing everyone else into profitable obedience.

Who does this benefit?
Next year, Americans will see the biggest jump in health insurance costs in 15 years.
Meanwhile, the six largest health insurers raked in more than $31 billion in net income last year.
Still not sure if we need Medicare for All?

Kavanaugh doubles down on (& misapplies) the most shameful standing decision in the Court’s modern history, Los Angeles vs. Lyons (1983). In Lyons a Black man who was victim of a chokehold by LAPD sought to enjoin its use. SCOTUS said no standing b/c….how do you know it will happen to you again?

Why are we allowing children to be killed?
The mother of a 12-year-old girl who was injured in a shooting at Annunciation Catholic Church in South Minneapolis on Wednesday morning, was working in the intensive care unit of the hospital where her daughter was rushed.

We must.
We refuse to accept constant grief and fear as our normal. We should not have to mourn children stolen by preventable mass shootings. In honor of the victims, survivors, and the communities impacted by this horrific shooting, we continue our work to #EndGunViolence.

So much love to the families and community. We should chose to live in a way that are children are safer.

Everyone on TV not asking this question is doing it wrong
So if a group of men -- all of them wearing masks, with no uniforms or badges visible, driving unmarked cars -- approach anyone on the streets of DC, they're just supposed to submit?

Dolly Parton has sent my daughter a new book every month for years as she does for thousands of children. She help fund the development of the Covid vaccine. She’s not a billionaire. I think as non wealthy people it’s hard to even imagine how much billionaires *could* be doing with their money.

He would be my uncle. Not great-great or great uncle. One of my parents' siblings. This is why we remember.
