    Another preventable death and young people traumatized for political ideology.

    Kendrick Castillo, 18, lunged after one of the gunmen from yesterday’s , giving his life to save countless of his classmates. This brave member of the robotics club sadly was killed just days before his graduation. Our heroes deserve life.

    “You want to get rid of homicide?” a retired forensic nurse asks. “Get rid of guns” From 2000-2006, 3,200 US soldiers were killed in combat. During that same period in the US more than 3 times as many women died at the hands of husbands + boyfriends

    I’m thinking of Gregory Hill Jr.’s family. Hill, a black father, was killed in the garage of his FL home by cops who were responding to a noise complaint. The officers were never charged & a jury awarded $4 in damages: $1 for funeral expenses & $1 for each of his children’s loss.

    Truly adding insult to injury. Keep in mind they are trying to intimidate people from not answering the census by proposing a citizenship question. I think the courts are still pondering... Voter suppression is active while we are all sleeping.

    Most people don't realize this: not only can incarcerated people not vote, but their population counts towards the (conservative) towns where they are incarcerated when drawing/allocating districts. White people literally amplify their voting power by incarcerating Black people.

    Looking at R1 university websites for a service task and struck by the number of sites featuring students of color on their websites. Although I presume intentions are good, be sure you put the same effort into recruiting and retaining historically under-represented students.

    DEAR . I agree. It is a disgrace that the President turns a blind eye to the rise of white supremacy and TERROR and MURDER perpetrated in its name. THAT is the true disgrace and history will record it that way.
