Definitely one of the best books I’ve ever read. It drove home for me the difference between being anti-slavery and being an Abolitionist. Main thing? Courage.

No no no no no, cops do not get to do that to someone as a “judgment call.”

I didn’t say I wanted to fight her; I said I wanted to call her! She had said that she wanted NZ to be the best place in the world for a child to grow up. I said I wanted to call her and say “Girlfriend, you’re on - because I want the US to be that too!”

Absolutely true. But just being better than the Republicans is way too low a bar.

He should be more than fired; he should be tried for murder. And we need a Congressional investigation of white supremacy that's clearly present within law enforcement in America today. This. must. stop. cbsnews.com/news/minneapolis…

That's a hard one now, not just because of Covid but because the establishment doesn't really care anymore if we do. Look at what Greta accomplished: millions in the streets. What we have to hit is the ballot box, and even that has become very hard. But we can do it. And we must.

5/ It's important to remember we're not up against anything worse than other generations had to deal with. The point is that they did it. They pushed back on oppression and injustice and so can we. Let's not be the first generation of Americans to wimp out on doing that job.

4/ Every generation, including ours, has contained both elements, and every generation has made its choice. Slave owners v. Abolitionists, male surpramists v. Suffragettes, segregationists v. civil rights movement. It's simply our turn. The aristocratic archetype has returned.

3/ The truth is that we are both. Of 56 signers of the Declaration of Independence, 41 were slaveowners - which means that from the beginning, we were both adherents to the highest aspirational principles and perpetrators of the most violent forms of transgression against them.
