Tulsi Gabbard comparing Biden’s diversity policies to Hitler’s eugenics policy is just reckless and depraved — I did a rare thing this week. I responded to a Tweet. I am on Twitter less and less (I wasn’t on there much to begin with) these days. My response was to a tweet about former Congressperson Tulsi Gabbard’s statement on diversity and eugenics. Gabbard, who also ran for…

Dr. King’s “A Knock At Midnight”

My favorite guided spiritual meditation — Many nights, I listen to guided meditations to fall asleep. It is how I am wired. A soft voice to put me in the present and to focus on nothing at all but the immediate. It is how to live. No worries about tomorrow, yesterday, or some bill to pay…

African American Studies + Queer Studies = Real Education

Let us fight for the truth — “The great force of history comes from the fact that we carry it within us, are unconsciously controlled by it in many ways, and history is literally present in all that we do.” — James Baldwin If James Baldwin were alive today, I am sure he would be quite eloquent…

I read it again on Medium recently. I have read it multiple times over the last few years. This is also the…
