THIS 🤨 Hell Yes! And the book “Trail Of Tears” should be required reading in schools. It documents the forced relocation of approximately 100,000 Native Americans, from their ancestral homeland. The Cherokee in particular faced the devastating journey & thousands died from disease & starvation.

Don’t obey in advance. Pay attention. Build community. Take care of each other and the earth. Act, don’t react. Love, not hate. These are my mantras right now. How about you? #democracy #mindfulness

Jasmine Crockett, after accusing colleagues of castrating their Constitutional duty, said, “My job is to make sure we don’t have any kings or queens in this country, but it seems like you all have decided it’s going to be Mr. King and his queen. And y’all can pick which one is which.”

If y'all could stop dreaming about me so I could sleep, that would be great... 😂❤️😩🥱

Inclusion fosters loyalty and builds community. So, what happened, @Target? This 2021 ad: featuring Black-owned, Latino-owned, API-owned and LGBTQ+ owned businesses—celebrated the diverse founders behind some of our favorite brands of the day. Powerful. Where’s that energy now?

From all the speeches and prayers one moment stood out. I want to share this single act - tying up the past to present - the spontaneous applause of the entire audience when Ukraine's President Zelenskyy placed his candle among many others... Today is the International #HolocaustRemembranceDay.

A small piece of good news, I just read this in my newsletter from Dan Rather (you're on his list, yes?) www.theskimm.com/news/reprodu...

There are two problems with narcissists like Trump: 1. They think they know everything 2. They think they’re always right Which is why Trump thinks he should make all decisions and everyone else exists to follow his orders.

Take note. 🇺🇸

It's #DataPrivacyDay! The right to privacy is essential to other fundamental human rights. It enables freedom of speech, expression, and association. Without privacy, our democracy crumbles.

GOOD MORNING SKIES OF BLUE MONDAY MORNING My deepest gratitude and respect go out to migrant workers and immigrants THEY WORK SO HARD FOR ALL OF US I'd much rather live next door to someone who crossed the desert to become an American than an American who helps no one but themselves

SCARY AF! Project 2025. Our news and social media is already being censored. I had no idea that people around the world were protesting DJT on Inauguration Day until I happened upon a video on Tik Tok talking about it. I searched X/FB/Google and could only find one *article attached in 🧵

BOOM

I’ve seen enough. Donald Trump should be impeached and removed from office. Spineless Republicans won’t do it. But it absolutely needs to be said, right now. My Friday Post:
