"I'm kind of tired of you being called pastor... you hate everybody. You attack Black people, gay people, immigrants, Jews. All you do is spread hate."
@Timodc confronts controversial Christian nationalist pastor Doug Wilson on Piers Morgan Uncensored.
“A bait-and-switch”
Williamson County School board member @EricWelchWCS is right. @GovBillLee claims his vouchers are going to low income families, but the vast majority go to kids already in private schools.
Of course there’s demand— it’s a free coupon for the wealthy.
@MaureenBourge10@RobSchneider@Moms4FAPE Why r you accusing student teachers of stealing lesson plans when as a mentor you should be sharing your lesson plans?
John McCain responding to a racist comment made about Obama in 2008:
"He's a decent family man that I happen to have disagreements with. That's what this campaign is all about."
@RobSchneider@Moms4FAPE Corey DeAngelis job is to harass lawmakers on Twitter & to get parents to buy into school voucher lies. He is paid a lot of money to sit at his keyboard & send out tweets all day. I doubt Corey volunteers in public ed classrooms, he is too busy tweeting 🙄
In my last post, I reminded us of who we are.
Now, I want to encourage you:
We must be close to something
righteous and humane.
Because racist tropes are used to galvanize what my father called the “white backlash” against social change.
Don’t stop putting pressure on elected officials to do their part in evicting injustice from our streets and policies.
Don’t stop cultivating the love that fuels sustainable justice and true peace.
Don’t stop compassionate action
and community care.
This Black History Month,
I want to remind you of who we are.
As Earth, Wind & Fire sang,
“We are people of the mighty.”
As my father said, “Yes, I’m Black. I’m proud of it.
I’m Black and beautiful.”
We are human beings of varying roles who descend from a diverse people. Not all were kings and queens. Some were teachers, farmers, artisans, and more.
Still today, Black people in America are diverse.
Innovative. Industrious. Inventive.
Some formally educated. Some not.
Some prospering. Some not.
Our “status in life” does not determine our worth.
We are beloved of God as
postal workers and professors.
As a former First Lady and President.
As people.
We are not apes.
