Hanlon’s Razor: “Never attribute to malice what can be adequately explained by incompetence.”

With this administration it’s both.

Obama: "We are living in a time where it can be hard to hope. Each day we wake up to some new assault on our democratic institutions. Another setback to the idea of the rule of law ... but this man - Rev. Jesse Jackson - inspires us to take a harder path ... bc if we don't step up, nobody else will"

The U.S. Olympic Team Is Giving Us Something Worth More Than Gold. It's Giving Us Hope. It’s just sports, right?

These aren’t just skaters and skiers; they are symbols.

They remind us who we are as a nation: diverse, resilient, fearless, imperfect, and defiantly joyful in the face of our demons and detractors...

This Black History month, White Americans should read works & story of James Baldwin, a gay Black man in times when both categories were outcasts.

My librarian mom introduced me to him about age 12; had a profound impact on a White MA suburban girl starting to learn empathy for Black experiences.

I read the “SAVE Act” (the GOP’s new voter suppression bill) so you don’t have to. This is my one page summary. Jesus it’s bad. 1/

The attack at a Hanukkah celebration in Sydney today was a vile act of antisemitic terror. I mourn those who were murdered and will be keeping their families, the Jewish community, and the Chabad movement in my prayers. May the memories of all those killed be a blessing.

While we are still waiting for all the facts to emerge, what we already know is devastating. At least 11 dead, including Rabbi Eli Schlanger, who held deep ties to Crown Heights. At least 29 injured. Another Jewish community plunged into mourning and loss, a holiday of light so painfully reduced to a day of darkness. This attack is merely the latest, most horrifying iteration in a growing pattern of violence targeted at Jewish people across the world. Too many no longer feel safe to be themselves, to express their faith publicly, to worship in their synagogues without armed security stationed outside. What happened at Bondi is what many Jewish people fear will happen in their communities too.

On Bondi Beach today, as men with long guns targeted innocents, another man ran towards the gunfire and disarmed a shooter. Tonight, as Jewish New Yorkers light menorahs and usher in a first night of Hanukkah clouded by grief, let us look to his example and confront hatred with the urgency and action it demands. When I am Mayor, I will work every day to keep Jewish New Yorkers safe—on our streets, our subways, at shul, in every moment of every day. Let this be a purpose shared by every New Yorker, and let us banish this horrific violence to the past.

The evangelicals have been picking and choosing which bible verses to obey for so long that they think that's how laws work .

So it turns out an ice agent is much more likely to have an arrest record than an immigrant.
