When I was a sophomore in high school, the son of two of our family’s dearest friends, who was also the boy I had loved from afar since I was 10, was killed by a drunk driver.

His parents taught me a deep lesson I have never forgotten.They went in person to see him in jail, & offered him forgiveness. Instead of seeking the utmost vengeance entitled by law.

They never stopped suffering from the loss of their child, but they freed themselves of suffering & torment as well. I saw it in them.

28 October 1934 | Dutch Jewish girl, Esther Louise Pachter, was born in Amsterdam.

She was deported to Auschwitz from Westerbork in October 1942. She was murdered in a gas chamber after arrival selection.

http://calendar.eji.org/racial-injustice/oct/28 On October 28, 1958, a mob of white men in Monroe, North Carolina, stormed the home of a nine-year-old Black boy named James Hanover Thompson, threatening to lynch him after a white girl told her parents that she kissed him on the cheek when they were playing together earlier that day. James and another Black boy named David “Fuzzy” Simpson, eight years old, who the girl had also kissed on the cheek, were arrested by police, beaten, held in jail without contact with their families for days, denied an attorney, and sentenced to indefinite terms, ultimately serving over three months.

Massive anti-war protests being largely ignored by the legacy media is giving me a really powerful sense of deja vu.

It’s snowing, it’s 25 degrees (F, for any non-USians tuning in) and PB&J on a toasted brioche hamburger bun hits the spot for lunch, with a cup of coffee.

I’m camping in the Carolinian forest of southern Ontario. The trees are gorgeous, and flocks of birds pass by regularly. We’ve seen flocks of crows, blackbirds, and geese. #forest #trees #NaturePhotography

President Carter also correctly described the State of Israel as an apartheid state - decades ago.

"Education is not memorizing that Hitler killed six million Jews.

Education is understanding how millions of ordinary Germans were convinced that it was required.

Education is learning how to spot the signs of history repeating itself."
