Thank you, Dr. Glaude. Your warning on the rapid demise of African American studies programs at universities and colleges is what I witnessed at the University of Texas Austin last year. I was pastor of a church across the street from UTAustin as these programs were gutted by the current governor. Faculty were scrambling to find places for their groups to meet off campus because they were forbidden from meeting on campus. Who does that? An insecure white Christian nationalist governor, that's who. Get some rest. Your voice guides us through these perilous times.

i'm just so tired...when i saw jefferies was meeting with jared and then he announces jared moskowitz, as rank leader with bell and Schultz as support and token other pushed into africa , i knew that any holding of the trump regime both for this iran war and both for israels actions[and america's supporting actions]was dead, for nothing on that is gonna pass with jared moskowitz in committee, i knew jefferies had sold us out, its trump 2.0 with the centralists dems selling out the base[and the left] to keep the money flowing, and letting trump and his cronies off again..i see it now......and now there is no trust left in me of this democratic leadership.....I'm just so tired :(

Even the bright light that was dolly is waning, even as her body grew cold, republicans cut her book funding by 2/3rds [4 million] :( add in these now new hangings, i really dont know america, just between me and you, do you really want to get better? or do you just embrace the corruption, because at the moment, i am not seeing the seeds of things getting better, if anything , the people we even look for hope are doing deals behind our back to help out trump , his family and republicans, then there is no hope at that point :(

Decent. It’s been so long since I’ve heard that word to describe someone. Dolly is certainly deserving of it.

I’m as white as they come but this assault on Black studies programs is alarming and horrific to me!

Can you believe there are still people out there trying to say that the Trump administration is not racist?

A friend shared this with me today. I often shy away from covers of songs I adore, but Dolly's cover of Imagine is truly a thing of beauty. Just what I needed this week! https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9BmkyQdYZOA

Accountability! This massacre of innocent people continues because there has been no accountability. I’m concerned that our government has more concern about a few names being placed on for buildings and Donald splatter about the White House suffering other people and a billions of them own country accountability, can we rely on those reelected into Office responsible or erecting guard reels, ensuring that this nation lives up to his promise of freedom and human rights for everyone

Hello Professor,

Greetings from your 72 year old Birthday Friend.

One doesn't need to watch the news all week. We just need to watch and listen to you with what's happening delivered with so much compassion, so much heart, that it makes us sit up and say, " We're not gonna put up with this sh*t another minute.

I have my signs, my phone calls, my post cards, my vote. And I, we, have you to remind us that it's important and all is not lost.

Always my very best,

Robin Roberto Horgan
