Storm Anxiety: So, one thing that has proven helpful on days like today is to narrow our focus to things you can control. Casting a wide net for your emotions that includes what happens in MS/AL may not be healthy for you. Narrow your intake to your immediate surroundings. Ingest only what you need to today. Take care.
From our earliest days, Black history has always been American history – and Black folks have profoundly shaped our American culture through music, art, literature, sports, and beyond. One month a year is not sufficient to celebrate the power of the movements and the people who have fought for the rights we enjoy today. That’s something that we have to do each and every day, as we strive to live up to their example and make sure our children and grandchildren remember their stories.
Please remember that every amazing photo and video of these upsetting events unfolding is brought to you by a journalist putting themselves in harm’s way so you may witness history.
I’m sad for the church.
I’m sad so many pastors and theologians made the case that voting for this was the moral imperative.
I’m sad the pro-life movement will be tied to this for a generation.
I’m sad Jesus’ name was invoked so many time on this president’s behalf.
I covered a lot of BLM protests in D.C. last year (tear gassed several times, hit with a rubber bullet) and the difference here in terms of the police response to property damage and violence is astounding.

Donald Trump’s attempts to stop votes from being counted are the actions of a desperate man trying to cling to power just a little longer.
It's undemocratic. It's pathetic.
And it won't work.
“And when you pray, do not be like the hypocrites, for they love to pray standing in the synagogues and on the street corners to be seen by others...When you pray, go into your room, close the door and pray to your Father, who is unseen.” Sd
