Call or fax your senators and representatives! The new Tax Bill is bad and repeals the ACA! Chip still isn’t funded. There’s still no DREAM act. Congress can DO something about Net Neutrality. Heck, congress could do something about sensible gun legislation.
Black women are not magic negroes. Here’s some sociology explaining. Here’s how to truly thank Black women (hint: donate money and time to their political organizations). Also: VOTE THEM IN OFFICE.
Here’s a list of the changes made in political activism in Alabama for this election.

There’s a lot of speculation that Trump is going to fire Mueller and congress is going to let him if we don’t act right away. There are a lot of suggestions that the firing is going to take place next week while many Americans are traveling or celebrating the holidays. Here’s information on where and when you can go to protest. If it happens before 2pm, the protest will be 5pm that day. If it happens after 2pm, then the protest will be at noon the next day. Keep some posterboard and markers on hand in case you need to make signs!

At least 20K other people in the US got this joke enough to like it, which means I’m not alone. Right? Right? (I feel so alone. I had to explain it to 3 people including my husband and #2. Then I gave up.)
Best Christmas songs you’ve never heard.

I had never heard of Leadbelly until this week when I was curious about the origins of Black Betty. He was a black singer who recorded over 100 songs (may of them while he was in jail) with the help of a couple of Linguists. It’s astonishing how many of these songs later became huge hits when covered by white dudes.
