Hereās a MLK quote Iād love to see white people share.
Astrological Inauguration Affirmations
Iām Aries, Aquarius Rising. Iām a Battlefield Humanitarian, and that sits well with me.
(Check out your post here, theyāre all really inspirational.)
Aries
Aries, you teach us how to take action. You teach us how to move towards our goal, great obstacles be damned. You teach us to find confidence within ourselves when the world only offers evidence to the contrary.
You teach us to value being contrary.
You know how to go against the grain. To push up against great odds. Head-first into rooms that donāt know you and will never own you. Born ready to rumble and too quick to quit.
You are our mascot. Our warrior in waiting. Our Battlefield Beauty.
This year we will need you to remind us that itās OK not to be liked. This year we will need you to remind us that fighting for each otherās dignity will save us from losing ours. This year we will need you to teach us that being afraid is a part of the process but that being afraid is not a good enough reason to opt out of striving for progress.
This year, and in the years to come, we will thank you for your bravery, leadership and relentless energy. We will return the favor by reminding you to recoup your energy. We will remind you how to be a leader among leaders. We will remind you that this is a marathon, not a sprint. We will remind you that you donāt need to, and you actually canāt, go this journey alone.
Aquarius
Aquarius, you are our humanitarian. You know how to think in terms of the whole of us. You know how to think about a situation outside of yourself. Apart from yourself. You refreshingly refuse to center yourself in every interaction.
Yet, you have the ability to think for yourself. Away from the pressure of the herd mentality. Outside of the boxes that have previously been thought up to think within. You know the confines, the systems and the structures of the playbook, yet you have the ability to play the game your way. Ā
This year we will need you to teach us how to master the rules so that we can break them with astounding effect. This year we will need you to show us how to pour forth what we have, becoming water bearers ourselves, cleansing the land of any ill-will that festers there.
This year we will need you to teach us how to keep cool while we enter the dragonās den. Teach us how to keep our minds centered, committed to the facts, to reason, to what would be the most logical way forward for all involved. Teach us how you are able to so deftly honor the traditions that have worked well while being able to simultaneously revitalize them with progressive innovations.
In return we will remind you of the intelligence of your emotions. We will remind you that it is logical to feel them and that even though it may feel irrational to do so, losing control once in a while can be a good thing. Ā

20 Lessons from the 20th Century, Adapted for Today
Tuesday, on Facebook, Yale historian and Holocaust expert Timothy Snyder wrote: "Americans are no wiser than the Europeans who saw democracy yield to fascism, Nazism, or communism. Our one advantage is that we might learn from their experience. Now is a good time to do so." Snyder's a member of the Council on Foreign Relations (which includes former Secretaries of State), and consults on political situations around the globe. He says, "Here are twenty lessons from the twentieth century, adapted to the circumstances of today.
1. Do not obey in advance. Much of the power of authoritarianism is freely given. In times like these, individuals think ahead about what a more repressive government will want, and then start to do it without being asked. You've already done this, haven't you? Stop. Anticipatory obedience teaches authorities what is possible and accelerates unfreedom. 2. Defend an institution. Follow the courts or the media, or a court or a newspaper. Do not speak of "our institutions" unless you are making them yours by acting on their behalf. Institutions don't protect themselves. They go down like dominoes unless each is defended from the beginning. 3. Recall professional ethics. When the leaders of state set a negative example, professional commitments to just practice become much more important. It is hard to break a rule-of-law state without lawyers, and it is hard to have show trials without judges. 4. When listening to politicians, distinguish certain words. Look out for the expansive use of "terrorism" and "extremism." Be alive to the fatal notions of "exception" and "emergency." Be angry about the treacherous use of patriotic vocabulary. 5. Be calm when the unthinkable arrives. When the terrorist attack comes, remember that all authoritarians at all times either await or plan such events in order to consolidate power. Think of the Reichstag fire. The sudden disaster that requires the end of the balance of power, the end of opposition parties, and so on, is the oldest trick in the Hitlerian book. Don't fall for it. 6. Be kind to our language. Avoid pronouncing the phrases everyone else does. Think up your own way of speaking, even if only to convey that thing you think everyone is saying. (Don't use the internet before bed. Charge your gadgets away from your bedroom, and read.) What to read? Perhaps "The Power of the Powerless" by VĆ”clav Havel, 1984 by George Orwell, The Captive Mind by CzesÅaw Milosz, The Rebel by Albert Camus, The Origins of Totalitarianism by Hannah Arendt, or Nothing is True and Everything is Possible by Peter Pomerantsev. 7. Stand out. Someone has to. It is easy, in words and deeds, to follow along. It can feel strange to do or say something different. But without that unease, there is no freedom. And the moment you set an example, the spell of the status quo is broken, and others will follow. 8. Believe in truth. To abandon facts is to abandon freedom. If nothing is true, then no one can criticize power, because there is no basis upon which to do so. If nothing is true, then all is spectacle. The biggest wallet pays for the most blinding lights. 9. Investigate. Figure things out for yourself. Spend more time with long articles. Subsidize investigative journalism by subscribing to print media. Realize that some of what is on your screen is there to harm you. Bookmark PropOrNot or other sites that investigate foreign propaganda pushes. 10. Practice corporeal politics. Power wants your body softening in your chair and your emotions dissipating on the screen. Get outside. Put your body in unfamiliar places with unfamiliar people. Make new friends and march with them. 11. Make eye contact and small talk. This is not just polite. It is a way to stay in touch with your surroundings, break down unnecessary social barriers, and come to understand whom you should and should not trust. If we enter a culture of denunciation, you will want to know the psychological landscape of your daily life. 12. Take responsibility for the face of the world. Notice the swastikas and the other signs of hate. Do not look away and do not get used to them. Remove them yourself and set an example for others to do so. 13. Hinder the one-party state. The parties that took over states were once something else. They exploited a historical moment to make political life impossible for their rivals. Vote in local and state elections while you can. 14. Give regularly to good causes, if you can. Pick a charity and set up autopay. Then you will know that you have made a free choice that is supporting civil society helping others doing something good. 15. Establish a private life. Nastier rulers will use what they know about you to push you around. Scrub your computer of malware. Remember that email is skywriting. Consider using alternative forms of the internet, or simply using it less. Have personal exchanges in person. For the same reason, resolve any legal trouble. Authoritarianism works as a blackmail state, looking for the hook on which to hang you. Try not to have too many hooks. 16. Learn from others in other countries. Keep up your friendships abroad, or make new friends abroad. The present difficulties here are an element of a general trend. And no country is going to find a solution by itself. Make sure you and your family have passports. 17. Watch out for the paramilitaries. When the men with guns who have always claimed to be against the system start wearing uniforms and marching around with torches and pictures of a Leader, the end is nigh. When the pro-Leader paramilitary and the official police and military intermingle, the game is over. 18. Be reflective if you must be armed. If you carry a weapon in public service, God bless you and keep you. But know that evils of the past involved policemen and soldiers finding themselves, one day, doing irregular things. Be ready to say no. (If you do not know what this means, contact the United States Holocaust Memorial Museum and ask about training in professional ethics.) 19. Be as courageous as you can. If none of us is prepared to die for freedom, then all of us will die in unfreedom. 20. Be a patriot. The incoming president is not. Set a good example of what America means for the generations to come. They will need it."

Hillary Rodham having her face painted at Wellesley College during the 1960s.
CallingĀ racist and bigoted remarks ācontroversialā sets a dangerous precedent for the way the media talks about bigotry in American politics.
We need to āMake JOURNALISM Great Againā.
Having studied authoritarian states for over a decade, I would never exaggerate the severity of the threat we now face. But an American kleptocracy is exactly where president-elect Trump and his backers are taking us. Thatās why I have a favor to ask you, my fellow Americans.
This is serious. A great read, with some difficult truths for EVERYONE, on all sides of the political spectrum.Ā

There's a place you can go where everything you knew as a child is still true. It's called the Blanket Fort, and tonight it's under heavy security because the First Lady is there.
Oh my god Iām gonna miss Michelle Obama. <3
I still canāt believe this is a āchoiceā weāre making. But this video... I got choked up.Ā
When Donald Trump Jr., serial retweeter of the alt-right who likes to compare Syrian refugees to poisonous candy, jokes about the Nazi gas chambers, should Jews, in the current atmosphere of hate, ease off the Holocaust humor?
I canāt even believe this is a thing.
Why do Black people think everything is about race?
A great piece on racism and the power of language. (And yes, the title/subhead are facetious.)

Penn Jilette and I donāt agree politically, however, he is a very smart man and I respect his opinion. This video and the very fair description of Trumpās character seems very authentic, and is the crux of the reason that I DO NOT understand how weāre here, with Trump so close in the election.
It's all too real.
