Fun fact: We didn't always have a Justice Department. President Grant created it in 1870 to protect black civil rights and smash the Klan.

We’re due for the first serious snowstorm of the season here north of Boston (12-15″ currently predicted), so if I’m not here this evening, either I’m busy shoveling or the power has gone out. Or both!

A path to start fighting back against Jefferson Beauregard Sessions and his racist enablers:
Call your state reps and demand they authorize your state AG to investigate and hold police depts accountable, even if Sessions won't. (2/ )

Demand your state reps pass legislation to collect accurate data on all police violence & hate crimes, since Sessions won't. (4/ )
— Samuel Sinyangwe (@samswey) February 9, 2017
Demand your state allocate more funding to prosecute white supremacists and police violence, since Sessions will ignore it. (6/ )

States must work to end institutional racism, since Sessions won't. Require reports on how bills will impact groups BEFORE voting on them.
