Me: Three Kings Day is on January 6th.
My niece: Oh ... THAT day.
Jan 6th no longer immediately means Three Kings Day or Epiphany--it means 'anniversary of the Insurrection.'

In the 1960's Ralph Nader figured out it would be easier to organize Americans around consumer issues than around worker rights. I bet organizing around #healthcare in the 2020's will do the same thing. This book started a movement. #history

This is Trump being President Elect. He is in France shaking hands with Macron. Has no one told him we only have ONE President at a time? And why is no one calling him out??

Does anyone remember when the Nazis wanted to march in Morton Grove, Illinois in the 1970's? This is a mostly Jewish suburb of Chicago that forbid them from marching, and the ACLU took on their case for 'free speech.' The country was mortified. The #Nazis won, they had their march, and the story was covered as a one-off horror. Now Nazis openly organize and march in many cities ... and Trump 2.0 has not even officially started.
That's right: Nazis in the USA have been normalized.

Want Americans to take those jobs that immigrants currently have? Sure, bring back wages, sick leave, health insurance, and pension. Example: Janitors for the State of WI used to be Civil Service employees with ALL benefits. Then the jobs were outsourced.
EVERYONE deserves fair compensation!!

Sarah McBride (D) Delaware will be joining Congress in January as a legislator. She ran to serve the people of Delaware. All this focus on her being #trans by the Uber Right is a cruel distraction.

I'm old enough to remember an older kid on my block who DID contract polio before the vaccine was invented. He was fortunate that it was a mild case, but I frequently overheard my parents talking about how lucky we were that me and my sister were born after the vaccine was invented. #NotGoingBack

A portion of the Psalms are lamentations. We in the Modern Age have lost the understanding of why lamentations are needed; we need to write new ones to help us process collective grief.

I unfriended 40 people today on Facebook. They were conservative people I knew from previous eras in my life. It will no longer be safe to share opinions with just everyone. (Plus there were 6 accounts for friends who have passed away--yikes!)
