Love that image, fierce human gazing out at us. Composition, everything about it.

Grounded not just by the griefs
“We bear, but by the good we begin.”

Farewell, Rev. Jesse Jackson.
The cover of the book American Founders: How People of African Descent Established Freedom in the New World. The image is a black and white portrait of a woman, seated in garden, wearing a military bodice and full skirt, gazing directly at the viewer. Some believe the woman is Susie King Taylor.
Black Americans continuously encouraged the US to live up to its ideals not only through the revolts & revolutions that brought slavery to an end throughout the hemisphere, but also as they defended the principles of democracy before & after slavery, on battlefields, in courts, in print & in deed.
AND THAT GOVERNMENT OF THE PEOPLE. BY THE PEOPLE AND FOR THE PEOPLE SHALL NOT PERISH FROM THE EARTH. Image by Chris Brunson.

Some did foresee this just out of common sense and factual information.
There are a lot of posts out there with the close-up visual of Markwayne Mullin on January 6, but this is a better perspective.
He’s not protecting others; he’s protecting himself and hiding. You can see plenty of people at the entry door, ready to take on the insurrectionists, but not Markwayne.
But in a fully vaccinated household, the risk of bringing measles home is very low. For your newborn, the biggest protection is the “cocoon effect” everyone around the baby being vaccinated. Make sure household members are up to date on MMR, Tdap (pertussis), influenza, and COVID
I saw a number of Red-winged blackbirds in the neighborhood yesterday and today. They're back! 🌞 #migration #birds
How are these forecasts made? The model underlying the migration forecasts was trained on historical NCEP North American Regional Reanalysis (NARR) data and 23 years of bird movements in the atmosphere as detected by the U.S. weather surveillance radar network. By learning associations between weather variables and migration, we can use the model to predict a bird migration intensity given a particular weather forecast. Forecasts are generated from this model and data from the Global Forecast System (GFS) model. Map courtesy of the Cornell Lab of Ornithology.
Note that birds mostly avoid areas of precipitation. Migrating birds sense approaching storms by detecting low-frequency infrasound from storms far away and by sensing sharp drops in barometric pressure using middle-ear receptors. They seek shelter or alter their route, saving energy. #birds

Watching all of these phenomenal speeches at Rev. Jesse Jackson's memorial service is the soothing and inspiring balm I needed today.
So agree.
#OnThisDay in 1857, the U.S. Supreme Court upheld slavery as an institution. Justices ruled that Black Americans, whether slave or free, had no right to sue. Two months later, Dred Scott won his freedom, setting off celebrations in the North.

MS NOW confirms Corey Lewandowski is also out at DHS.
It’s July 1944. With the nation at war and a heat wave settling over the city, the residents of Hartford, Connecticut eagerly await the arrival of “The Greatest Show on Earth.” Moments into the show, the unthinkable occurs —a fire that turns the big top into an inferno. In the minutes, hours and days following the blaze, two communities – Hartford and the Circus – find themselves irretrievably intertwined by tragedy, blame, heroism, and healing.
“This multimedia, immersive production is co-conceived by playwright Jacques Lamarre, Jared Mezzocchi (the visionary director of Sandra), and TheaterWorks Artistic Director Rob Ruggiero to honor the power of community in our 40th Season.”

Former VP Kamala Harris at the memorial service for Rev. Jesse Jackson:
"So let me just say, I predicted a lot about what's happening right now. I'm not into saying 'I told you so' but we did see it coming."
Yes. She. Did.
