Michael Rosato’s mural in Cambridge, Maryland, #USA

This lifelike mural of Harriet Tubman is painted on the side of the Tubman Museum and Education Center. Tubman is shown stepping out of a broken brick wall, arm extended as if reaching for the viewer’s hand. Behind her, a calm riverside landscape glows under a setting sun. The artwork is titled Take My Hand and has become an iconic tribute to her legacy.

WITNESS THIS MAN

I wanted to capture some snippets from hour 19 (he's going on hour 22 now)

Corey Booker on #Anger:

#BookerFilibuster

This one was hard.

I wrote about being the wrong kind of victim.

The kind who stayed. The kind who didn't call the police. The kind who texted three days after.

And yes, it might make you feel uncomfortable, but it's the experience of many, many victims. So important to understand.

Not The Right Kind Of Victim

Most of my friends will learn about many things for the first time when they read my book. Not because I was hiding them. Not exactly. But because the kind of trauma I carry doesn’t naturally come up in conversation. It’s not neat.
