Harriet Tubman has been posthumously awarded the rank of brigadier general in the Maryland National Guard—an honor that comes 91 years after her passing. After escaping slavery in 1849, Tubman became renowned for leading others to freedom on the Underground Railroad and was the first woman to lead an American military operation during wartime. Her legacy as a scout, spy, and freedom fighter in the Civil War is now further cemented with this historic recognition.

The Philadelphia Enquirer endorses Kamala Harris. Read their endorsement here.

There has never been a more important presidential election in our lifetime. The road to the White House may well run through Pennsylvania and every vote matters.

Thank you, Lynne Jackier, for sharing this quote.

"What too many of us don’t know now is that the rise of N**i Germany and the lead-up to the Holocaust was a slow play fertilized by denialism about what was happening in plain view—not the Final Solution out of the gate. Non-targeted Germans continued their daily lives, even as their kids trained to be hardened and hateful N**is, and believed the bigoted lies that it was “subhuman” people—which is not a thing—causing all their economic woes."

Just A Thought…moment #5,000,347.25
Folks who get mad about other folks wanting and pursuing justice are usually concerned about things like vengeance, turn about/fair play, punishment for previous offenses. Here’s the thing, though, that is not what the pursuit of justice is about…but since you’re already thinking about it may I ask you a question…?
What did you do (or know about someone doing/saying, etc.) that is so bad that you’re scared someone wants to do to you what was done to them?
I’m asking because your rage, brought about through the exhaustion caused by retributive-leaning fear doesn’t otherwise make sense to me. That rage-driven supremacy has causal relationships on both sides of it. Do you see that?

American Poet Langston Hughes died in 1967 at the age of 66, and here we are 57 years later, poised on the edge of the precipice where it gets even uglier.

It makes me sad and angry. I feel one or the other almost all the time, and I know I am not alone.

It is a deficiency in those who will not be satisfied until the fabric of our society is in tatters. You know who I'm talking about. The criminal orange clown and his GOP supporters.

I’ve been inspired to share this bit of coaching with you, Beloved…

“Have a relentless belief in yourselves. Let it be rooted (create a dark, rich, soil to grow it in)in your faith in self, and other. Love as though nothing is more powerful than it, belief, and faith. And when someone or something (controlled by the someones) attempts to colonize your thoughts, beliefs, and love…reject that attempt…those attempts…every time. Know that they are learning opportunities and practice sessions for honing your voice, your power, your purpose, your belief in your capacity for greatness (as defined by YOU). Believe relentlessly. Love generously. Hold true to the power that gave you everything you ever needed to shine while you were being formed in utero. Finally, all of that love, belief, and faith will require that you live it out loud. Put your back into it. Give your full-bodied voice to it. WORK. IT.
I love you!

From the Sherrod Brown Campaign:

Did you see Rachel Maddow last night? ⬇️

Rachel Maddow
In case you missed it, Bernie Moreno said it’s “a little crazy” that women in Ohio are voting to protect reproductive rights. You know what’s crazy… Bernie Moreno thinking he knows better than 57% of Ohioans who voted to protect abortion rights last year.

But a new poll shows Moreno 2 points up against Sherrod Brown, so we need all hands on deck to fight back and win. Will you chip in $25 now to split between Sherrod’s campaign and Bob Casey to keep Bernie Moreno out of the Senate?

Thank you in advance.
