What a difference 54 years can make... or not. Racism is still with us, and it remains within our institutions, as the courts and executive branch continue to chip away at voters rights and anti-discrimination laws. I remember what I felt as a nine year old watching King's speech, and contrast it to how I feel with the current administration and, frankly, it's demoralizing. It's not supposed to work like this. We acknowledge a problem, solve it, and move on. This past month feels like the country's been shoved into a time machine, and even with knowledge of the future, the path clearly marked for us, we're making the wrong decisions. All we can do is keep out heads down and keep pushing forward...

The nation's fourth largest city is now more or less an extension of the Gulf of Mexico, and forecasts indicate another two or more feet of rain in the next three days. It will take years and cost billions to recover. Why tropical storm harvey is showing Texas no mercy.
