Day 21. I know Black History Month is about looking at what we have already contributed to this country. But I’m asking you to invest just $5 or $12 into what I’m trying to offer to the future. The work we are doing makes a real difference for marginalized authors Leftunreadbooks.binderybooks.com

Malcolm X was assassinated 60 yrs ago today. See his timeless wisdom on the true meaning of “progress.” “If you stick a knife 9 inches in & take it out 6—that’s not progress. Progress is healing the wound. They wont even admit the knife is there.”

This is an actual post on the White House’s Instagram account… I just… the fact that every day Americans are still defending him—still convinced he is fighting for us… I can’t. This is insane.

Just when you think Donald Trump cannot sink lower or be more shameful, today he's blaming Ukraine for the war and calling Zelinsky a dictator, when he knows perfectly well that Putin's constant re-elections are put-up jobs.

“We know that if we do not learn from the past, it is destined to repeat itself. But what I want us to really sit with is the fact that we can avoid more than just history's worst moments. We can avoid it all. We can put our foot down right here at the beginning and refuse to comply with any of it.”
