It’s December 1st and we should all pay homage to Rosa Parks today. On this day in 1955 she decided not to give her seat up on a bus in Alabama, and well the rest is history. We are all going to need to channel our Rosa Park’s for the next four years! Thank you Rosa for showing us how to #Resist

She was an incredible woman and she did amazing work her entire life
"If you miss me at the back of the bus
You can't find me nowhere
Come on over to the front of the bus
I'll be riding up there
If you miss me on the picket line
You can't find me nowhere
Come on over to the city jail
I'll be roaming over there"
I hope that we are all prepared for the same.

It would've just been another daily injustice without those speaking out about it, without independent journalists covering it, without explicitly Leftist media sharing it among other groups until it got too loud to sweep under rug

I thought she’s famous for sitting, let her sit.
I wonder how long it will take to remove that monument.
Unfortunately these are truths

You might be very surprised.
Start the #resistance in your city, gather friends and family. Organize a march or a protest.
Remember to remain NON-VIOLENT.
Use your voice and your pen.
Teach the girls how to fight dirty. (YBMC)
Teach boys to respect/protect women.
Sometimes it takes an individual, backed by conscious and deliberate organization, stepping in the shit to get the George Warings of the Nation to enter the fray
You did society a great service, Rosa Parks.

I'm Scottish but that image has stayed in my head for decades.

When I was in Birmingham I sat on those church steps and shed a few tears about that senseless act.
