People making a difference!!! FAFO Walmart/Target the end of the super store and return back to mom and pop community care!!! www.youtube.com/watch?v=UoYO...

If I could offer one word of encouragement today, it would be a reminder that we are capable, creative people. We don't have to wait for someone to tell us what to do. Go search up how to connect. Move. We can take the initiative. We can be go-getters. We are the authors of our own liberation.

SHEROS of the Caribbean !! Carlota Lukumí, a slave woman, took up the machete in 1843 to lead a slave uprising at the Triumvirato sugar mill, Cuba. Always remember that we fought back! Listen to PM Mia Motley of Barbados for current events

Banned/challenged books are often difficult reads with jarring content, but we can't shield ourselves nor our children from the realities of the world forever - it's better to build empathy and understanding through books, especially by reading books by/about marginalized people.

Donald Trump called Pres Zelensky a dictator. Elon Musk called the American working class "parasites". Remember: every accusation is a confession. Every single thing these profoundly fragile men do is a cope bc deep down they are insecure AF and filled with shame.

Pritzker: If we don’t want to repeat history, then for god’s sake, in this moment, we better be strong enough to learn from it.

Crockett: "It's just that they're idiots. These are the same guys as it relates to our nuclear stockpile, they're like, 'Oh, wait a minute, we needed those guys? Can we get them back? Oh, we don't know how to.' I don't know how anyone can look at this administration & feel a semblance of confidence"

Yes!!! Thanks for organizing this! I knew the Oregonian's headline was off when it it said "hundreds". What a great turnout in support of democracy!

5 MIN ACTION for folks with Dem senators/reps: call 202-224-3121, ask to speak to your elected. Ask them 1. To be unified as Dems in a boycott of the Mar 4 State of the Union and be LOUD in the press about why. 2. Ask why a govt shutdown in Mar isn't on the table as a tool to resist fascism.

I'm wondering how to navigate out of their world that's compromising our humanity. Here's a list to explore and any thoughts? cyberinsider.com/google-alter...

Know our constitutional rights!!! The tactics of fear is unconstitutional. youtube.com/shorts/Mye6G...

The Indigenous People of North America have decided to go back to calling the Gulf of Mexico, “Chalchiuhtlicueyecatl”. It is what the Nahuatl People originally called it as it is the domain of the goddess Chalchiuhtlicue, who is assoc w/water bodies, including the Gulf of Mexico.

Got an email today that I'm eligible for a digital ARC of Genocide Bad by @simkern.bsky.social and I've never hit smash so fast. Can't wait to read this book and recommend it to everyone who comes into the store!

Excellent explainer, unfortunately topical. By @simkern.bsky.social

FWIW: I did a small thing that makes me feel a little bit better, and pre-ordered these two books.

a good part of me thinks that in addition to everything else, the reason they are scrubbing these stories is they do not want disadvantaged kids to believe they can aspire to anything other than their designated “black” or “hispanic” or “woman” job

Well, America is experiencing a coup and falling into fascism, but I hit 100k subs on YouTube. 😭. Seriously, thanks to all the folks who support my work. I'm so sorry that my content has to be fighting fascism but this is the time we're in and I'm grateful for the platform.

There are places that connect us to the mysteries beyond space and time. Remember we are a part of a bigger picture- be kinder- keep on heading downstream! "Take me to my boat on the river and I won't cry out anymore" www.youtube.com/watch?v=QaI_...

This guy gets it

Funny how musk isn’t cutting or gutting his contract and government draining billing!

Time for the chickens to come home!

What an amazing reading list to be part of! I've read, recommended, and cited a few of these books. Will have to check out the others. lakotalaw.org/news/2025-01...

Did you know? Sarah Rector, at 11 years old, was one of the richest women in the United States. Born in 1902 to African descendants of the Muscogee Nation, Rector was granted 160 acres of barren land by the federal government as a result of the Dawes Allotment Act of 1887. She struck oil.

FRANK WATERS “If I were an American, I should make my remembrance of it the final test of men, art, and policies. ... Yet it is not ours alone. It belongs to everyone, of all races and nations, to preserve as a temple of our one common Mother Earth. www.arizonahighways.com/article/refl...

Jackie Johnson, the DA who declined to charge Ahmaud Arbery's killers has been granted a directed verdict on all counts in a case accusing her of obstructing the case and violating her oath. This result reflects staggering incompetence on the part of the prosecutors.
