Raised in Kalamazoo, MI, living outside Rochester, NY. Trying to decide where to go next.
When Julius and Ethel Rosenberg were executed for atomic espionage — Ethel was almost certainly innocent — Abel Meeropol and his wife Anne adopted the Rosenberg’s children Robert and Michael and raised them as their own. They went on to have significant careers in activism and academia and founded the Rosenberg Fund for Children which supports children who have been targeted because of their or their parent’s progressive activism. /3
GovTrack.usSeeing comments writing off the Deep South bc the commenters don’t like some of the politicians there. These folks should consider that when they do that, they’re making the same mistake that white nationalists do: assuming that the only people who exist and/or matter are white Republicans. There are lots and lots of people in the Deep South who, for a host of historical & intentional reasons, cannot fully participate politically. When you write off their states, you write them off too.

But your most personal info is okay because you are a woman, so therefore, property of the state you live in?
Laffy

Sheril KirshenbaumIn the U.S., recent annual estimates of bird deaths due to:
Cats = 2.4 billion bird deaths
Collisions from building glass = 600 million bird deaths
Land wind turbines = <200,000 bird deaths
Some politicians claim wind turbines “kill all the birds.”
But… they’re not really worried about birds. Rather, they prefer we stick with oil & gas over renewable #energy.

Continuing affirmative action
