Democrats are being weak.
Just like they were weak on not passing Build Back Better.
Just like they were weak on not codifying Roe when they had the majority.
It’s time for new party leadership at the federal level.

"Paying bail or fines indicates acceptance of immoral system and validates the arrests."
#tdih 1961, SNCC sent four volunteers to Rock Hill, SC to sit-in.
When arrested, they said: “Jail, No Bail.” (Also useful tactic when funds are low.) #TeachTruth

Happy Black History Month! Here is my favorite story about a Black American you may not know about: Robert Smalls. He commandeered a confederate ship and sailed himself, his family, and the other enslaved crew and their families to freedom. THROUGH waters controlled by the Confederacy.

I’m a part time librarian and I just want to echo what I’ve seen other librarians say recently: there is a HUGE uptick in requests for social justice, climate justice, abolition, history, etc books and I just want to say nobody is giving up the fight. If anything people are fighting harder #library

“He’s unqualified, and I daresay that everybody here knows it.” We need more principled senators like Warnock.
Senator Raphael Warnock ahead of the vote on RFK Jr. for HHS Secretary:
"I simply do not trust him to oversee the CDC. He's unqualified, and I dare say that everybody here knows it."
BOOM!

Wealth redistribution will be required for the unity so many of us are looking for. If you are white and well today, are you contributing to mutual aid or reparations? Asking for a friend. And yes, reparations ought to come from the federal government but, well, you know how that's going.
