"Neither the fanatics nor the faint-hearted are needed. And our duty as a Party is not to our Party alone, but to the nation and, indeed, to all mankind. Our duty is not merely the preservation of political power, but the preservation of peace and freedom."
"So let us not be petty when our cause is so great. Let us not quarrel amongst ourselves when our Nation's future is at stake."
"Let us stand together with renewed confidence in our cause, united in our heritage of the past and our hopes for the future, and determined that this land we love shall lead all mankind into new frontiers of peace and abundance."
President John F. Kennedy was slated to deliver these words the night he was assassinated in Texas on November 22, 1963.

Take it from a former environmental engineering student — environmental racism is real, and this shouldn't be controversial. Here's an easy illustration of what this dynamic is and why it's a serious problem.
Living near coal-fired power plants is bad for your health. (And this has nothing to do with climate change.) Burning coal releases all kinds of things that are bad for your lungs: heavy metals, coal ash, particulate matter. Inhaling this stuff creates real health problems.
As a result, the land immediately surrounding coal-fired power plants tends to be much less expensive than land that does not have a coal-fired power plant around it. Easy to understand, right? Living near a coal plant is unhealthy, therefore, the land surrounding it is cheaper.

STUDENTS AND FELLOW YOUNG PEOPLE — I was a young activist for LGBTQ rights who helped lead a movement that overturned the Boy Scouts of America’s ban on LGBT members and leaders. Here’s what I learned.
Some of this is bigger picture, some of this is practical advice. And needless to say, my fight was very different from the fight to end gun violence. Take or leave any of it. Here goes:
1) THE BIG STUFF: When we started @scouts4equality, we were told that change is impossible and that there was nothing we could do. We won a near total victory in less than five years. Anything is possible.

1/ Something I've heard repeatedly from my Trump-supporting friends is that President Trump is reversing the increase in the national debt that President Obama created.

This is just not true.
2/ The easiest way to know it isn't true is that in the next few months, the Republican-controlled Congress will vote to raise the national debt limit.
3/ If President Trump and the Republicans were *actually* lowering the national debt (they aren't) then they wouldn't have to raise the debt limit. It is really that simple.

A LOT of really really great metal released recently. Not for the faint-hearted, but delicious if you’re into it.
The Ocean’s ‘Pelagial’ was one of the best post/prog-metal releases of the decade.

Now they’re back with ‘Phanerozoic I’. Compelling and beautiful.
One of the more unusual releases this year. Female vocals work a treat. Gorgeous and hard-hitting. Still trying to wrap my head around it. Madder Mortem’s ‘Marrow’

BLOOD IS HOLY

"If we seek to respect the differences and particular virtues of the races that Heaven itself created, we thereby serve the Creator and his laws."
"Since we have learned to recognize and respect the physical and intellectual characteristics of the earth’s various races, we are free of the sick desire that sees no differences, or seeks to make everything the same in the political, cultural, and religious realms.
"We are conscious once again of our characteristics and want to care for and protect them because they are the natural way for us to live as a people and a #nation.

"The 25 points of the NSDAP Program were composed by Adolf Hitler and Anton Drexler. They were publically presented on 24 February 1920 "to a crowd of almost 2K and every single point was accepted amid jubilant approval." (Mein Kampf, Volume II, Chapter I)
"Hitler explained their purpose in the fifth chapter of the second volume of Mein Kampf: hitler.org/writings/progr… …
"THE COMMON INTEREST BEFORE SELF-INTEREST - THAT IS THE SPIRIT OF THE PROGRAM. BREAKING OF THE THRALDOM OF INTEREST - THAT IS THE KERNEL OF #NATIONALSOCIALISM.

UNFAITHFUL SHEPHERDS

"Many years ago, the then president of The National Council of Churches warned that the danger of the great religious awakening taking place in our country, might become fanatical and be carried into our political and business life!
"Perhaps this was a fair assessment, that is, if you conflate #Christian #Zionism with religious awakening. Unfortunately, these "fanatical" #Evangelicals have 0 faith in the #Christian religion to which they give empty lip service--while paying homage to those who hate #Christ.
"For lack of faith in the actual #Bible, #Evangelicals make Scofield’ Notes, (Scofield! A drunkard and a con-man allied with the Satanist, Darby) --#Evangelicals have turned Scofield’s NOTES into a DIABOLICAL FORCE in our #national life.

THE WATCHMAN

[...] "The watchman’s task has always been a thankless one.
"There are treacherous fifth column elements, who are really working for the #defeat of the #nation, at the hands of its enemies.
"These subversive elements readily gain and hold the #public’s ear, because they soothingly tell the people what they want to hear. Go back to sleep, no danger can come, and there is nothing you can do.
