What MLK did opened up the doors to a more equal perspective, that we are all capable of great compassion and care, that we have a duty to move forward together, not just in the US, but in the world. There is still time to realize his dream... Today, we remember that the struggle is not over.

Late to the party but here's the obvious: Pedos. Are. Not. Victims. If that's a political statement (and I suspect that it is now), it's very telling about the state of the country. 2026 - we can do better.

All educated people should know the value of logic and critical thinking. To not understand the value of logic and critical thinking, is to be severely lacking in education, though one may be specialized in a specific field.

Meant to mention this last week, but if you have a young person in your life who’s into history or graphic novels or just good books, buy them George Takei’s “They Called Us Enemy.” My oldest couldn’t put it down.

People who don't pay attention to politics in any way make a rather terrible assumption for that "privilege"... That the nation will function regardless of who is in charge at the moment. For a healthy, stable form of government, this is true. We are certainly not. Don't look away.

His hands were not even on the damn books. Obama had the Chief Justice flub a word and he had to redo the oath because the Wing-Nuts lost their minds. This orange pustule says “I don’t know if I have to follow the Constitution.”… crickets.

Seriously, you would not believe how stupid it was. Every day, unrelentingly, just the dumbest stuff by the absolute worst people. And what made it worse was knowing that we’d brought this on ourselves.
