Reading is one of life’s greatest joys. It is also how to stay informed, evaluate different ideas, discern the validity of sources, understand history, and appreciate the underlying moral lessons.
The statistics below are so sad…

In these very seconds, you and I get to decide whether our children and grandchildren and those following us will inherit something beautiful or grotesque. It's really that simple, that elemental, that close.

As the Reverend Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. wisely said, "Our lives begin to end the day we become silent about things that matter." Today and every day, I pledge to never silence my voice in the fight for what is right, and I will continue to march in the path he forged toward justice.

That they are duped into believing that the common good is anti-American socialism makes this particularly galling.

It can be quite exhausting to think of what’s to come and based on what we’ve witnessed, it’s easy to lose hope.
This quote reminds you to never stop.
We help each other. Together we can get through this. 💙
The fact that I know more about Fani Willis’ and Nathan Wade’s relationship than I do about the crimes committed by Ginni Thomas and Clarence Thomas shows exactly what is terribly wrong with today’s political mainstream media.

Screenshot of Text: Twitter user Max Kennerly (@MaxKennerly): A notable aspect of private health insurance is the absence of any reason for it to exist. It does not contain costs, expanded coverage, or expedite care - it makes those all worse. Its sole function is to profit as a rent-seeking middleman between patients and providers.

Because they had the audacity to report the truth.
We can’t count on the media or politicians to stand up to him. It’s going to be on us.
Every single one of us standing in the way every single day.
