Trump ordered the Justice Department to investigate his political opponents while protecting and rewarding his friends. Β 

The Justice Department is supposed to work for the American peopleβ€”not be the president’s personal law firm.

What CBS' disgraceful termination of Stephen Colbert illustrates is how quickly a Republic can fall when the media chooses cowardice instead of courage.

It is moments like this that you begin to understand why so many have demonized empathy and compassion.

They want us to care so little for others that we will ignore injustices being carried out against them.

It is in moments like these that love for others is revolutionary.

Watching DNC Chair Ken Martin in MSNBC's The Weeknight. He's coming across as slick, fast-talking, and self-promoting. My first time to listen to/see him. I'm disappointed. πŸ˜’

I recently bought a small sewing kit so that I could mend and hem things as needed. It came with an assortment of colors of thread, some needles and a needle threader. According to the packaging, it also came with a reusable pouch. Here's the kit in its reusable pouch! πŸ˜‚ Gotta love marketing!
