“The death of one man is a tragedy. The death of a million is a statistic” “Abstractions can lead to horrible behaviors.”

“Leaders would sooner sacrifice what is theirs to save what is ours. And they would never sacrifice what is ours to save what is theirs.”

“It certainly seems like the right time to be a powerful predator”

“Education is the most important thing. Not just for me, ya know, but also for the nation.”

Omg! Everything really is tuberculosis - slavery, class warfare, racism, misogyny, body image distortion, etc. And I’m like 1/3 the way through this discussion. It’s a lot

If only we put the energy into progress that is put into crime

Just a reminder that ICE didn't exist until 2002. It's not some longstanding institution that must be maintained. It was created as a knee-jerk reaction to 9/11, and it could be gotten rid of as easily as it was created.

“DOGE was a total failure”

“Accountability is everything”

“We used to believe that a president couldn’t impact the economy that much. We were proven wrong”

“With cruelty and oppression, it is everybody’s business to interfere when they see it”

This is the war he wants for oil, and to cancel the midterms…. 👇🏼👇🏼👇🏼👇🏼👇🏼👇🏼👇🏼👇🏼👇🏼

🚨DJT wins at one thing: He is the most crass and embarrassing person to ever represent at least half of the country - whether they would admit it or not. Too, nobody who is innocent of having misled the country intentionally acts like this.

Now here’s the kind of news you drop going into a long holiday weekend. Maybe no one will notice. 🤡 @nytimes.com www.nytimes.com/2025/11/26/u...

“The measure of a nation is how many small coffins it allows”

“Politics is a stupid place to get your identity”

“Those who rule by fear also rule in fear”

“Whether we feel it or not, we are surrounded by this tremendously loving presence. And that covers every second of every day of everybody.”

“In order to go on with our lives, we are always capable of making the ominous into the merely strange”

Jesus was a radical feminist.

I’m so torn between holding accountability for our brothers and sisters currently betraying the majority of the US population, and the forgiveness taught by the central character of the religion they’ve hijacked. I’m a huge fan of kindness, gentleness, and forgiveness.

“Political language is designed to make lies sound truthful and murder respectable, and to give an appearance of solidity to pure wind. ” George Orwell

“We are invited to be part of creation. Like planting shade trees for children whose parents were born last week.”

Like Dr Paul Farmer, I am more curious about the world than angry. Silver linings and hope are everywhere.

The depth of the shame of a country this wealthy and abundant allowing its people to go hungry is impossible to measure. The fact that a handful of people could fix this by paying their fair share of taxes while still remaining obscenely wealthy makes it even worse.

I think we get more done and feel better about everything when our focus is on what we like in the world instead of what we hate

“With this kind of corruption, it’s easy to be cynical about politics. But inside every cynic is a wounded idealist. Deep down, we know it doesn’t have to be this way.”

“Tell your children who the cowards were.”

Have we ever seen a more fiscally irresponsible US government?

I'm calling for the establishment of an Office for the Prosecution of Bribery, Fraud, Treason and Sedition. Headed by a Special Counsel independent of DOJ. In order to establish and refer cases to state grand juries for charges against businesses, orgs, and persons acting against US interests. NOW

“Pity the nation that knows No other language but its own And no other culture but its own”
