Wisdom is skillful, strategic, shrewd, & sober.
Shrewd fact. Never entrust yourself fully to anyone who is connected to those who despise you.
Where they connect is their choice.
But their choices should never be allowed to compromise your safety.

Last year, Zeros Fares was made permanent, marking a major step forward for transit equity in our city.
This #TransitEquityDay, we're re-affirming our commitment to making public transportation in ABQ safe and accessible for everyone.

34 percent of Harvard students are white. 43 percent of those students are either legacies, children of faculty, kin of donors or a recruited athlete. 75 percent of them would not have gotten in if not for special status (National Bureau of Economic Research).
But when in doubt, blame the Black people!

So very true Mr. President!!!!! – at Chicago, IL
Affirmative action was never a complete answer in the drive towards a more just society. But for generations of students who had been systematically excluded from most of America’s key institutions—it gave us the chance to show we more than deserved a seat at the table.
In the wake of the Supreme Court’s recent decision, it’s time to redouble our efforts.
