Jacob Lawrence, Another of the social causes of the migrants' leaving was that at times they did not feel safe, or it was not the best thing to be found on the streets late at night. They were arrested on the slightest..., 1940-41 https://botfrens.com/collections/14377/contents/1134631

Saw the phrase "consolidate your caring" related to how to focus and make change in a world constantly trying to detail you with endless disasters, and I really like that one.

The Daily Schedule That Helps Me Survive Prison All the alarms and beeps and bells became music to my ears once I decided to embrace the freedom that comes from a well-structured day.

Last week, we launched our reader referral campaign with a goal of welcoming 250 new readers to The Inside Story. We think there’s no better way to grow than reader to reader.

I absolutely LOVE this. Christian Bale spent roughly 17 years fighting to make this happen. This week, his foster-care village opened in Palmdale, California: 12 homes built specifically to help keep siblings together when they enter foster care.

Emmett Till was 14 years old. On August 28, we remember his life and the injustice that took it. His mother, Mamie Till-Mobley, transformed unimaginable grief into courage, helping inspire a movement for justice. We remember his name. We honor his life. We continue the work.

Can you guess how much the minimum wage would be today if it kept up with worker productivity over the years?

Calling the violent and humiliating displacement of people in need "sweeps" implies that they and their possessions are nothing but trash to be cleansed. Genuinely makes me sick.

It's right to be outraged. Just as it's right to be outraged when ICE guns someone down. But I also want us to remember all of the people dying due to deplorable conditions in prisons, jails, and immigration detention centers, bc they are also being murdered by the state.

Police murdered a Black man in the street in Madison WI today. Shot point blank in the head while on the ground, tased, and surrounded by four cops. It looks like an execution. Multiple videos circulating online. Things are about to get very bad here.

Tomorrow, the House will vote on the NDAA, which includes a provision to merge parts of our military with the IDF. This amendment is an existential threat to American sovereignty and democracy. Every member of Congress must vote NO.

"Every gun that is made, every warship launched, every rocket fired signifies, in the final sense, a theft from those who hunger and are not fed, those who are cold and are not clothed." -Dwight D. Eisenhower, 1953

Here is Graham gloating about "killing all the right people." Just in case you see anyone try to do the whole "we should have decency for the dead" nonsense.
