Dr. Alvin Poussaint has died. The noted psychiatrist at Harvard and an adviser to Jesse Jackson and on "The Cosby Show" and "A Different World," was also known for how ardently he challenged systemic bigotry against Black Americans. www.youtube.com/live/tWJ14_7...

One of the greatest long cons in America is rich, white, landowners convincing poor white folks that they were superior to other folks based on the color of their skin. Now poor white folks are worried about their jobs and their benefits. As if the billionaires in the White House actually care.

This... "When they talk of 'personal liberties and free markets' they mean their own liberties to become even richer and more powerful, as the rest of America slides into worse economic insecurity and fear."

Great day for a Natural Areas retreat on Monday at The L.A. Zoo with Team Stoneview! Met rare animals, got an earful from noisy monkeys, and saw a great bird show.(For good measure, I treated myself to a pineapple Dole whip!) Not a bad day at work!

The Consumer Financial Protection Bureau has returned $21 billion to people who were cheated by big banks and credit card companies. So why are Trump and Musk gutting an agency that's returning money to people who were scammed? For them, this has never been about cutting costs.

Just hours after the deadly plane crash, Trump rushed to blame DEI. This is what happens when you allow a twice impeached, convicted felon con artist to become President of the United States. Shame on the 77 million people who voted for this racism in the 2024 election.

It looks like many of them are setting up shop on Substack. I think where each person lands will depend on what kind of work they want to do going forward. Krugman and Acosta are on Substack primarily; others have created their own media platforms elsewhere. I'm just glad they have the option.

Today's Stoneview #BlackHeritageMonth meditation from Alli Simon included passages from ancestors Maya Angelou and bell hooks' "All About Love," reminding that "Love redeems. ...The persistence of this call gives us reason to hope." The whole experience proved a necessary balm for my soul. 🙏🏽

Though federal agencies are being forced to ignore Black Heritage Month in February and Women's History Month in March, we don't need a fascist federal government to tell us who we are in or to this country. Because there is no America without us. #blackheritagemonth #blackhistorymonth

Today, Biden declared the ERA the "law of the land." But the U.S. archivist said it could not be certified without action by Congress or the courts. In 2016, I interviewed Kamala Lopez about EQUAL MEANS EQUAL. There's still cause to fight for its publication. lareviewofbooks.org/article/equa...

An artifact from 11 miles away landed in the garden at StoneviewNatureCenter. My journalist's brain led me to laminate it. Perhaps a story to write someday. Though the pungent smell of ash as I pressed it between the sheets broke my empathic heart. Still reeling. 💔 #wildfires #losangelescounty
