We spent $22 trillion to “fight poverty.” But 70% of that money $15.4 trillion, never touched the poor. It went to the people who serve the poor, not the ones who are poor! That’s not liberation. That’s a business model. They don’t ask, “How do we solve it?” They ask, “How do we fund it?

“Any religion that professes to be concerned about the souls of men and is not concerned about the slums that damn them, the economic conditions that strangle them and the social conditions that cripple them is a spiritually moribund religion awaiting burial” #MLK #SundayWithKing

To those who feel 'called':
✅️calling is not a glossy smear over the hard, ugly, painful things of your life. Consider how they will affect your mission.
✅️if you are called into darkness to bring light (justice, exposure), you'll need to do deeper work than reading Do Hard

Things. You'll need an anchor for your soul. Fire in your eyes, steel in your mind, velvet in your heart.
✅️Stop following and listening to the shiny, glamorous folks in the spotlight. Find the dusty, disheveled, scarred ones underground and listen carefully to them.

✅️Depending on your particular assignment, be prepared to live in danger almost every day of your life. Learn how to chokehold your fear. It might still be there, but keep your death grip on it.
✅️If it hasn't consumed you, you might not be ready for it.

I read a newsletter this morning in which the ques was asked why isn't there more of an uprising about the issues surrounding childcare. The statement was made that parents are basically left to fend for themselves. Black women and families have known and felt this for decades.

One of the best pieces on education I've ever read.

"The result is that students matriculate from one grade to the next without a full understanding of all they should know. Those gaps make it harder for them to learn the next year’s concepts, which then make the subsequent years even more difficult." bit.ly/4j6XCE5

I wondered when this would hit the journalism circuit. As an educator working with high school math students, I can say firsthand lack of organized school transportation has a definite effect on attendance and therefore learning.

Baltimore City is the only district in the state that doesn't offer most students a yellow bus ride after elementary school.
When that policy collided with school choice, it turned getting to class on time into a nightmare.

I know people say it all the time but it really is true. When someone *shows* you who they are, believe them. Then walk away.
