No. I don't mean James Bond. This is not about 007. It's about the predilection this country has for killing people who aren't white, people of color.

Because Words Matter (as well as thoughts and actions)
“I love my country, consequently I want that country to be worth loving.” ― Merle Egan Anderson
Resist: A Quote
“Not everything that is faced can be changed, but nothing can be changed until it is faced.” – James Baldwin
Trump Jesus?
Look closely. Is the man that Trump "Jesus" is trying to "heal" (bring back to life) Jeffrey Epstein? The Ugliness is the Hope. Resist. Persist. Oppose. Propose. Be the opposition with a proposition. Be the Pebble
A Nobel Peace Prize?
I may be wrong, but I don't think one wins a Nobel Peace Prize by killing people.
Darnella Frazier
With the continuing flow of horrors and evil that flow daily from the Trump and MAGA world many of us are left with feelings of despair and hopelessness. What can I, what can we do to change things? I'd like to introduce you to Darnella Frazier. Sometimes doing a little thing can rock and change the world.
Privilege (and lack thereof)
“Our Nation Is Moving Toward Two Societies, One Black, One White—Separate and Unequal”. This is a quote from report of the National Advisory Commission on Civil Disorders, a committee put together by President Lyndon Johnson after civil unrest during the mid 1960's. If this were written today "Black" and "White" would likely be replaces with "Wealthy" and "Not".
Resources and Important Websites
I've updated the "Sites that matter to me" portion of my blog. You can review it here. Be strong. Resist. Stand against hate.
