Earlier today, before news about the verdict dropped, I read this piece about an amazing archeological find: the childhood cabin of Harriet Tubman. I thought about the Underground Railroad, how Tubman was by all accounts a hated lawbreaker in her day.

Tubman never waivered in her commitment to standing up against the evil of human slavery.

She had little, but she knew how to read the wilderness, how to read the sky, the wind, the sun and the stars.
She used what was given to her to speak truth to power, fighting white supremacy without writing a single op-ed, filing a case, or firing off a tweet.

One hundred fifty years and some hours later, another group of people spoke truth to power, fighting white supremacy as well.

We have some of the oldest weakest racists and homicidal people in office. They don't even realize the serious tone and message they got from insurrection. Poor white trash and gop leaders are going to be the death of the economy. Biden dixie-crat ways will lead us to comp-

White friends, peers, and colleagues: I cannot say enough about and recommend the @awarela Unmasking Whiteness Institute. It was a challenging, nurturing, thought-provoking, life-changing experience for me. The topics, questions, discussions & exercises were brilliant &
the whole event was so meticulously paced, organized, & facilitated. (If you know me, you know I take great facilitation very seriously). I met other incredible white folks working in anti-racist & social justice organizing & felt a sense of community around this liberation work.
Early registration ends March 31. #endwhitesupremacy
