It’s Thursday, also known as my hell day, so I’m exhausted, but I’ve still got 3 wins for you!
The Conway Arkansas school board has been conservative for a very long time, but on Tuesday, 3 Black progressive candidates flipped the board. It is likely due to the bizarre decision by the current school board who refused to hire a championship-winning soft ball coach for not explainable reason. There have only been 2 Black members on the 7 member board, one of whom didn’t seek reelection and now there will be 4. This is the power of voting in every single race no matter how small.
Aditya Harsono was abducted by ICE in March from his job at the hospital for being in the country without a visa. He had no idea his visa had been revoked days prior. Yesterday, a judge ordered the he be released and today he was! He’s headed back home to Marshall Minnesota. According to MPR News the charges were dropped, so I don’t think he’s even released on bail, I think he’s released released.
Bruce Springsteen began his “Land of Hope & Dreams” Tour in Manchester England yesterday. His intro was all about his feelings towards what is happening here in America with our wannabe dictator. Definitely worth taking 5 minutes to watch.
And those are the wins I have for you today. I hope they make your day better and inspire you to fight back, even in some small way, tomorrow.
Our voices are our superpower, but only when we use them!
Thanks!
Arkansas!!
