Civility has its virtues, BUT civility does not = true peace
Kindness matters, BUT kindness does not = justice
Be careful not to try to substitute civility and kindness for true peace and justice
Or to try to hinder true peace and justice with calls for civility and kindness.

There has been lots of due praise heaped on @cbouzy , but I’d really like to thank Ms. Bouzy & the Bouzy offspring. Behind every hard working entrepreneur, is a support system working equally hard and giving up time with their loved one. So, thanks Ms. B & fam.

49 years ago today, my paternal grandmother, Alberta King, was assassinated while sitting at the organ in church
Aunt Christine passed yesterday, 1 day before the anniversary of her mother’s tragic death.

Hi all. Well, it’s official. Elon Musk pulled my verification check so I’ve left Twitter. So far, these waters have been a lovely oasis. Let’s keep them clean, flowing true and invite other good folk to come take a dip. Hope you all have a great day and weekend.

Joan Baez then and now. She was only 15 years old when she first heard King speak and made it her mission to become a civil rights activist. That was in 1956. She’s 82 now and, here we are in the same fights😞

NEW: Tennessee House Speaker Cameron Sexton -- who led the effort to expel Justin Pearson and Justin Jones -- does NOT actually live in his district, as required by the state constitution.
He keeps a fake residence in his rural district but actually lives in liberal Nashville.

This is genius Albert Einstein who refused to speak at white colleges and at the end of his life spoke exclusively at black universities
"The separation of races is not a disease of colored people but a disease of white people. I do not intend to be quiet about it."

In Florida, we have Nazis proliferating and harassing people publicly, our insurance rates continue to increase wildly, and 3 teens were shot and killed last week.
So thankful for our great lawmakers, who are currently debating SB 1438, a bill to ban drag shows.

SCOTUS Justices clearly can’t be trusted to police themselves.
And Roberts has shown little interest in holding them to account for numerous conflicts of interest.
The Supreme Court is facing a legitimacy crisis, and failing to hold Thomas accountable will only make it worse.

Best part of the WI victory? The huge numbers of young people voting. Something is happening. 2024 will be the year of the young voter if we can put resources where they belong, organizing, supporting, and most of all listening to the voters between 18-25.

BREAKING: Trump himself hid documents at Mar-a-Lago, and DOJ has proof, including witness testimony, texts, and video footage.
AFTER getting the grand jury subpoena, Trump went through docs personally — and then they were moved elsewhere at Mar-a-Lago (including his office).

George Santos is sponsoring legislation that would make the AR-15, an instrument of mass murder, the "national gun" of the United States.
First, Santos defrauded the American people. Now he wants to endanger their lives with unregulated guns.
