There is an all assault on our moral compass. To separate politics from morality or ethics. To convince us that the wrongs/evils we are witnessing are not wrongs/evils. Grab hold of your moral compass. Do not give it up to people who do not give a damn about right and wrong.

Women's History Month may be coming to an end, but the U.S.' rampant criminalization and incarceration of women is unfortunately far from over and remains a crisis. Women can't get left behind in the fight to end mass incarceration.

Who could possibly have foreseen that war on Iran would (a) make Iran retaliate by closing the strait of Hormuz, which (b) could disrupt world oil markets, enriching Russia and penalizing most everyone else? Who, indeed, except EVERYONE WHO HAS EVER THOUGHT FOR ONE MINUTE about the situation.

Jesse Jackson was the template that showed what was possible. He ran for the highest office despite the odds and was eventually proven right. I remember his run through the eyes of a child and it was incredibly inspiring. Thank you sir and rest in peace.
