I’ve been reflecting a lot lately on love, loss, and the lessons that come with them. The deep pains that have come with these lessons have given me a solemn clarity.

I’ve lost track of how many times I’ve been called a deadbeat dad, or lectured by the social media trolls & bigots about how all Black men abandon their families. The truth is, I’ve been married to the same queen for nearly 30 years, and together we raised two brilliant children.

I had plans today that I was really looking forward to, but things changed unexpectedly. As I was trying to work it out, someone needed my help, and I found myself shifting from frustration to gratitude for my wrecked plans. Weird how that happens.

The first thing Virginia Spanberger did after being sworn in as Governor of Virginia was repeal Youngkin’s executive order requiring state and local law enforcement to cooperate with ICE. This is the kind of leadership Democratic governors nationwide should be emulating.

Don't bother arguing about whether ICE is a police force or a military force. It's neither. It behaves as a disorganized, violent mob, cursing, shouting contradictory orders, and attacking unarmed citizens on a whim. It is deployed to create fear and chaos, not to enforce laws or establish order.

Forbes says there are 2,000+ billionaires richer than the women most folks complain about. If you’re only critiquing* the women—especially the ones toward the bottom of the list—you’re part of the problem. *This often includes straight up degradation and shaming, which isn’t helpful critique.

America is bailing out Argentina, while Argentine farmers sell soybeans to China instead of American farmers, thereby bankrupting them, which is why America also have to bail out American farmers. If this is considered winning, I fear what losing looks like.

Political violence is always immoral and always counterproductive for a healthy democracy. It solves nothing. It only leads to further violence and ultimately enables scapegoating of vulnerable communities. Committing acts of violence against those who disagree with us helps no one.

If autocorrect could stop trying to thwart me, that would be ideal.

A screenshot from Duolingo shows the phrase “My cat is pretty.” I translated it to Spanish, “Mi gato es bonito,” but my phone autocorrected “es” to “is” so it showed up in red text that the answer was incorrect.
