Walking through the park, I overheard a five-ish-year-old girl say, “The birds are ringing,” & her mom gently laughed, & then the girl said, “The bird KEEPS ringing, Mom,” & her Mom said, lightheartedly, “Well, you better pick it up,” & then the girl paused, looked at her shoes, & started crying.
yet another day of the Supreme Court right-wing majority dragging us back to the 1960’s 🙄 Equality is not a difficult concept. #VotingRights #Dissent
