Kindness matters.
But kindness does not = justice.
Civility counts.
But calling for civility is not the humane response to injustice.
Justice is.
Love is essential.
But love is not a passive, weeping bystander.
Love puts in the work.

My thoughts… Bucks should unleash Jrue & let Giannis + Khris & Company feed off that; D up BKLYN KD will get his no matter what, it is the others, who need to feel that work will require more than skill #FearTheDeer#LetsGo#Bucks#BeWater 🐉 #NBAPlayoffs2021#NBA
You may not know that you know a survivor, but it’s highly likely that you do.
Survivors of trauma are close to you. They are people you love & you may not know.
Many decide whether their story is safe with someone by how they respond to other survivors.
Don’t push them away.
You left this world but NEVER my HEART 💔💔Rest in POWER Trayvon!! Not even the death of my SON/SUN will separate a Mother’s Love!!

These are the types of photos we see of white youth, even white adults, who have killed people.
Trayvon was killed, his murderer free, and we seldom saw photos of this Black boy, full of promise and hope, enjoying a space camp.
We’re working to make the world better, Trayvon.
"We understand that the world is very complex and that change doesn’t happen overnight. But you’ve now had more than three decades of blah blah blah. How many more do you need?"

Change is always determined by how people at the bottom move, and what people at the middle and at the top are willing to accept. But something is happening. The question is do we pay attention for a little while and then go back?
I offer my profound congratulations to Joe Biden on becoming President of the United States of America. I am so pleased that he is giving high priority to the urgent issue of climate change. I pray for his success in meeting the challenges that lie ahead. https://t.co/6NPbf8f0mQ
Thanks to American voters, we are back in the #ParisAgreement. America is once again poised to lead the world on climate action, working with our allies to build a better future for us all. Time to get back to work!
Somehow we weathered and witnessed
A nation that isn't broken
but simply unfinished
There is always light
if only we're brave enough to see it
if only we're brave enough to be it.
— Amanda Gorman
On a day for the history books, @TheAmandaGorman delivered a poem that more than met the moment. Young people like her are proof that "there is always light, if only we're brave enough to see it; if only we're brave enough to be it."

“How long shall they kill our prophets, while we stand aside and look? Some say it’s just a part of it; we’ve got to fulfill the book. Won’t you help to sing, these songs of freedom? ‘Cause all I ever have...” #RedemptionSong#MLKDay#bobmarley
