@HallieKMilner Do you know this history of segregation, white flight and defunding of public education in this country? How all public services began to be defunded when black people were given access? How literal public community pools were drained due to integration?
I post this regularly, and many express surprise.
This is the current childhood immunization schedule. Many childhood vaccines are three+ doses, sometimes a booster.
This is one reason why, unlike earlier centuries, we don't have cemeteries full of children. We've forgotten.

Watched King in the Wilderness and Exterminate all the Brutes on HBOMax this week. Highly recommend them both. Brutes is heavy, jarring, but essential material for understanding our place in history. I had never seen the photos of Wounded Knee Massacre.
King, so many emotions seeing the toll his vocation, drive, and self-critical psychology took, time away from his family took on him. Watching Martin Sr. mourn at his viewing, seeing the strength of CSK, the concern/love of his friends/staff
We are praying w/ Julius Jones & his family that @GovStitt will take the advice of the Pardon and Parole Board in this case and grant clemency. I have walked w/ several men in my own home state who were falsely accused & convicted of crimes for which they were sentenced to death.
My sister and bro-in-law were murdered in Tulsa in 2013. I can’t imagine peace or justice coming by murdering someone in their place, especially an innocent person. @GovStitt please be courageous and stop this endless cycle of violence. #JusticeforJulius
@HarderRambles is there anything you can do to encourage @GovStitt to grant Julius Jones clemency? I’m on the pastoral team at Joy Mennonite church. We’ve been praying for @GovStitt to make the merciful and just decision to grant clemency.
