Everyone should be angry about injustice. Not just those experiencing it.- Mikki Kendall

I'd never want to be:
Fuelled by hate
Soured by bitterness
Empowered by the weakening of others
Uplifted by the downfall of others
Or find joy in the misery of others
But rather be a torch wherever darkness intrudes
Ands always be stumblin' t'wards empathy & gratitude RS

Stop trying to crack the code of a shooter's motives and focus on the one thing they all have in common -- the guns.

An underrated performance for sure! The duet with Walken is one of the most romantic moments in TV history.

Whether you like or dislike what’s said, free speech is at the heart of our democracy.

Protecting it should be one of our core missions as a nation.
