To everyone who helped bring the Obama Presidential Center to life, thank you. Michelle and I are so grateful for all your dedication and hard work over the years. I got a little teary-eyed tonight thinking about my mother-in-law, Marian Robinson.

Ideas never die

$Today we still live with the ongoing and destructive power of the white supremacist ideology that powered the American system of slavery, and that brought this country to fracture and near destruction in the 19th century. All indications point to the unraveling of American democracy in the 21st century. Douglass warned us. He believed that the same spirit that caused the white population of the South rise up in rebellion against our country to preserve the right to own, buy, sell, rape, breed and kill other human beings, would live on. He predicted it would be “passed from sire to son.” It will not end,” Douglass predicted, “in a year. It will not end in an age."$

Not just Hitler; the Tulsa race massacre, Rosewood, lynching, slavery, the Rwanda & Rohingya genocides & more. There is a wolf pack evil that lurks in the human heart and it’s easily activated by a demagogue.

The federal government is taking over the California National Guard and deploying 2,000 soldiers in Los Angeles — not because there is a shortage of law enforcement, but because they want a spectacle. Don't give them one. Never use violence. Speak out peacefully.

The statute that President Trump has invoked - 10 U.S.C. § 12406 - has an important proviso: “orders for these purposes shall be issued through the governors of the States" Great article @justsecurity.org explains that proviso in this February 2024 article:

Biden Can, But Shouldn’t, Federalize the Texas National Guard

Invocation of the Insurrection Act in response to Texas' obstruction of CBP agents at the U.S.-Mexico border would be inappropriate.
