Being a decent human being isn't sufficient, but damn it'll be nice to have a decent human being in the White House again on 1/20/21.

And even after all of that, I wake up thinking first about Four Seasons Total Landscaping. I still think we are failing to appreciate how funny it is. They made the mistake, and then actually held the event there. It’s right out of This is Spinal Tap.

It's not just that Trump is a bad president. It's that he's a bad person.

President Trump repeated his false, baseless claims about voter fraud and refused to commit to a peaceful transfer of power after the 2020 election during a press conference at the White House. trib.al/8tz6jNr

“If someone is petulant from hearing about the 400+ year oppression of a group of people, with data, death, destruction, and anguish to prove it, that someone is lacking moral substance, understanding of injustice, and compassion.” @BerniceKing, King Center CEO

Four bright lives, murdered 57 years ago today by the drudgery of racism and hate. These evils still persist. Look on their faces and commit to self, systemic and social change. We can eradicate racism. #FourLittleGirls #NeverForget

America cannot be afraid of its own history, and to confront its injustices, failures, and tragedies as well as its successes. Building a better future requires reckoning with our past.

Happy birthday, #RubyBridges! 60 years ago, racists, bigots, and white moderates said you were out of order. Where would we be if you had not had the courage to be "out of order?" Thank you.

"Very few Trump supporters I know are able to offer an honest appraisal of the man. To do so creates too much cognitive dissonance.That they are defending a person who is fundamentally malicious... is too painful for them to admit." theatlantic.com/ideas/archiv…

President Trump — who has frequently railed against mail-in voting — told supporters in North Carolina that they should go to polls even after voting by mail to "make sure it counted." Voting twice would be a felony under North Carolina law. trib.al/6fUILGt

President Trump declined to condemn the actions of the suspected 17-year-old shooter of 3 protesters against police brutality in Kenosha — claiming, without evidence, that it appeared the gunman was acting in self-defense. trib.al/ikmREYQ

In many ways, the issues playing out between police and communities of color — including implicit bias and overly harsh punishment — are playing out in schools, too. ow.ly/QDPN50Bb9zj
