The reveal about The Valeyard...

Thou Shalt Not Murder Fishermen While Pardoning Drug Lords This is evil.

Thou shalt not pretend that you’re at war with drug traffickers while pardoning drug traffickers.

They use people as bait to make terrible things happen, and then use that as a provocation to make things even worse.

The boycott rolled right up to their front door.
‘We Ain’t Buying It”

You know what? We might have lots to be thankful for, but there's also plenty to be outraged about right now. It's okay to say things aren't normal while eating leftovers. Refuel yourself for the times ahead.

Our "representatives" aren't working for us, they are [barely] working for themselves.

As trying as these times are, I'm still working on a book about building and rebuilding after a period of calamity. We have a long era of new reconstruction ahead...

Bono on Donald Trump: “America is the best idea the world ever came up with. But Donald Trump is potentially the worst idea that ever happened to America. He’s trying to hijack the idea of America. Wise people of conscience should not let this man turn your country into a casino”

"The Attorney General of the United States has set a new low for this committee," Whitehouse said.

Crockett on MTG resigning: "Honestly, I was like, you got to be kidding. You're on the other side of the president for one week and you can't take the heat? Imagine what it is to sit in my shoes."

Using AI without tagging it just makes your cause and mission seem fake and untrustworthy.
