House goes up for sale the end of the week. Photos will be taken on Wednesday. House hunting in CO in March. Stuff is getting real.

You can’t make this shit up

I’ve spent the long weekend channeling my grandparents. Right now I’m canning my first pints of beans.

Time to show my butcher block counters some love. This is the before.

I have a lot of emotions, but disappointment is the strongest. I’m disappointed that my family chose hate over Jesus. This isn’t how we were raised. I’m not just losing a country. I’m losing siblings and old friends. I’m too old for this.

All members of Congress swore allegiance to the Constitution. They didn't ask just Democrats to defend America against all enemies. The house is on fire, y'all. I'll do everything I can to extinguish that flame, but I am begging my Republican colleagues to remember their oath.

The real truth is that America is so racist, we'd rather burn our entire country to the ground instead of allowing a black person to get anywhere close to the White House ever again

Pam Bondi, Trump's US attorney general pick, is a former lobbyist for the GEO Group, a private prison corporation with massive US government contracts. Geo Group has a history of human rights abuses and deadly conditions at prisons & immigration detention facilities (concentration camps). #OpCanary

This makes my day

It’s the beginning of a new month in an already discombobulating year. But amidst the chaos, new books help us through. Top of my list: Harlem Rhapsody explores the legacy of Jessie Redmon Fauset, literary “midwife” to the Harlem Renaissance. More via @literaryhub lithub.com/josephine-ba...

For a moment, silence fell over New Orleans’ St. Louis Cathedral as the audience felt history unfold. Edmond Dédé’s Morgiane—the first full-length opera by a Black American—was finally performed. It is absolutely beautiful.

You have to wonder what Elon Mush promised Dump if he helped him win the presidency. Wonder if it was the throne chair from Game of Thrones.

Black history isn’t confined to a month—it’s woven into the fabric of American culture every single day. From music to movements, innovation to influence, Black contributions shape the world. Erasing a date on a calendar doesn’t erase history. It’s here. It’s now. It’s always.

72.2% of America's imported oil was given a unilateral 25% price increase that will affect 100% of American households. Eggs may not be cheaper & now gas can join them. It's really great that the President isn't a woman of color, though.

This is my wife’s work. She does pediatric clinical research. Kids with dangerous or fatal blood clots. And TFG is withholding funding. Trump withholds funding from sick kids. Keep shouting it.

Just sharing this again for folks who may not have seen it yet. The US Air Force has removed the Tuskegee Airmen and Women Airforce Service Pilots from their training after Pres. Trump's anti-DEI order. These men and women are an important part of WWII history and must be remembered.
