If it is fascism now it was fascism then but if you were wrong no need to pause to make a special effort to admit your error -- we don't have that much time now, please act right away, get organized, and then tell your followers what you are doing to stop fascism and what they too can do.

It is in no way “law enforcement” to beat up an American 10th grader and steal and sell his possessions.

When he did this the first time, I created Grandmother Healing Dolls and drove them over 3500 miles to give them to therapists who could help the children process some trauma

The #WomenInHistory whose stories I have used as daily meditation were created by @hcrichardson.bsky.social They were the first 10 in a series called "The Declaration in Action - Journey to American Democracy." It's our turn to simply give what we can. It matters. youtube.com/playlist?lis...

"Operation Prairie Thunder" a joint effort between ICE and the Governor of SD has announced it will be conducting terror (not their quote) in the Brookings, SD area Dec. 17-19. And, there is an unconfirmed report that right now ICE is arresting Native American people in the Rapid City area.

Ella Baker knew that grassroots activism by ordinary people was the way to make lasting social change. She was a leader whose absolute dedication to participatory democracy held the country accountable to its higher ideals. #WomenInHistory from @hcrichardson.bsky.social youtu.be/f6q66tfr_E8?...

De-mystifying economics with @hcrichardson.bsky.social and @pkrugman.bsky.social My favorite part-- a numbers guy telling why it's smart to spend "government's" money on children. "It's the right thing to do, and it's an extremely cost effective investment." youtu.be/A8V00Z5McYA?...

This is what is going to happen. There will be a thin top layer of non-digital universities — and all the tech billionaires will send their kids to those places.
