“Just plant. There will be trees that you‘ll never see grow, that someone else will eat from. & it’s their responsibility to plant for somebody else. & so...we’ve not reached the goals that we’re supposed to reach, but we‘ve started the race, & you’ve got the baton.”

“Thurman was always pushing [you] on the inward journey ... to, in his words, find ‘the sound of the genuine’ in you.” — @om3 onbeing.org/programs/rev-oti…

The Sound of the Genuine: Traversing 2020 with ‘the Mystic of the Movement’ Howard Thurman

“Democracy dies in the dark waters of fear, and that’s where we are — swimming for our lives, wondering why a strident minority wants us to drown.” via @NYTOpinion nytimes.com/2022/07/05/opini…

Opinion | How Gun Violence Changed My Father, Ronald Reagan, and Our Family (Published 2022)

There are people in America who want the rest of us to be afraid. History shows that every democracy that has crumbled did so in an atmosphere of fear.

When Roe fell, I wondered the foreboding thought: when would I lose the right to decide what happens in my uterus to the Iowa government? How many other Iowan women are wondering the same?

Reynolds: “You shouldn’t have to wake up every morning and worry about the next thing the government is going to do to you, your business, or your children.” I live in Iowa, so I do worry about that every morning.
It’s time, way past time!

We don't need Russia's oil and gas. What we need is American-made clean energy. That is why I have introduced a bill to end Russian oil imports, confront the climate crisis, and cut off Putin from billions of American dollars.
As the sun sets on Des Moines tonight, the usual oranges, reds and pinks will be accented with blue and yellow on several Des Moines bridges in a show of support for Ukraine.

People can be mad at Manchin all they want, but we knew he would do this months ago. Where we need answers from are the leaders who promised a path on BBB if BIF passed: Biden & Dem leaders. *They* chose to move BIF alone instead of w/ BBB, not Manchin. So they need to fix it.

Would the world look closely at Hong Kong's sham election today, and think of the real candidates who were thrown in jail for almost one year now. We must fight back by boycotting it, or cast a blank protest vote. (Beware of arbitrary arrests when retweet)

Finally - coverage of the quality of Iowa schools and our students’ learning!
Des Moines Register@DMRegister14 Dec 2021
How well did you school perform last year? desmoinesregister.com/story/…

Iowa just released ratings for all its public schools. Find your school's rating here.

The federally required ratings are based largely on Iowa student scores from the state's standardized tests.

I’m one of the people who went to Lafayette Square last June in support of #BLM, & was driven away by riot police with teargas, & flash grenades. I saw the report finding no link between the clearing of the park & the photo op. Initially I was not going to respond...
