Actual exchange that happened during my first marriage:

Brother In Law: [tells a racist "joke"]
Me: not cool. you won't say racist shit around me.
BIL: or what?
Me: or I won't be around you.
BIL: it wasn't even racist
Me: yes it was. you won't do it around me.
BIL: whatever. (under breath) bitch.

Later, at Thanksgiving dinner:
BIL: [tells a second racist "joke" at the dinner table]
Me: [gets up and gets my keys and prepares to leave]
Mother in Law: where's she going??
Husband: I don't know. Lana, where are you going?
Me: I'm leaving.
MIL: why??
Me: ask your son.

Then I left. Later that evening I got an apology from BIL, and a promise to not say racist shit, at least around me. He tested it a second time, at a different family get together. I got up and started for my car. I got an immediate apology from him for his behavior.

Look, it's not a lot. But it's a start. Stick to your guns, folks, particularly around the holidays. Hold them accountable for their racist words and actions. Deplatforming racists works.

I'm ready for the week ahead!

I've got my sunglasses, my umbrella, my flip flops, my mittens, my boots, my suntan lotion, my winter coat, my shorts, my raincoat, and my thermal underwear.

801 US billionaires control a record $6.2 trillion in wealth.

The bottom 50% of Americans control $3.7 trillion in wealth.

When 801 people control more wealth than half a country’s population, we have a very serious problem.

Goddamn this is a bullseye
