In Case You Haven't Been Paying Attention

Last edited Mon Feb 1, 2021, 07:52 PM - Edit history (1)

To what the Administration of 46 has been doing, here is a Twitter primer:




Truth: and this is going to hurt.

There are some of you who think that if Biden’s administration didn’t address your issue yet- that nothing has been done for black people.

The problem is you refuse to acknowledge black people that are not just like YOU.




How many of you ACTUALLY paid attention to the executive orders issued before you pontificated about how you knew this administration wasn’t going to do shit?

What black folks are you referring to?

You’re not talking about black folks in college.





You’re not talking about black folks who live in communities that have poor quality of air due to the former administrations rampant abuses of our climate and rollback of basic climate rights right? Not those black folks?

I could go on. But my point?

This administration is 6 days old. I’m certain we will get our fair share of disappointment but the last 6 days have been glorious to watch a functioning government resume footing and address the needs of the nation.

And if this pace continues- I believe we may actually see more done for people of color than in the last 50 years.

Ooooh and today, another one!!! Addressing the private and for profit prison population? Wow. What poor leadership. (Rolls eyes and goes back to work.)

I love what he's doing, and the progress he's already made. And the trump-dumps he's already started clearing away. And he hasn't even been in office two full weeks.

I'm so delighted about the kindness and heart and compassion and empathy he's brought into the Oval Office. DEAR GOD how we've needed that!

Six days and on the seventh day he rested.

The Seventh Day
1Thus the heavens and the earth were completed in all their vast array. 2And by the seventh day God had finished the work He had been doing; so on that day He rested from all His work. 3Then God blessed the seventh day and sanctified it, because on that day He rested from all the work of creation that He had accomplished.…

On the seventh day God ended his work, but Nissan of Coventry went to time and a half, and God rested from His work with the blessing of Arthur Scargill and the miners. God blessed the seventh day, as did all the Pakistani corner shops...

It is so good to be unable to even list everything that's been accomplished since inauguration.
