@rcbregman @ZeroDean @arthurbrooks Four fav proverbs:

As long as you live, keep learning how to live.

A thing is bigger for being shared.

If you want to go fast, go alone. If you want to go far, go together.

A candle loses nothing by lighting another candle.

Light candles when you can.

“Thousands of candles can be lit from a single candle and the life of the candle will not be shortened. Happiness never decreases from being shared.” fakebuddhaquotes.com/thousands-of-c…

A battle between two wolves is inside us all. One is Evil. It is anger, jealousy, greed, resentment, inferiority, lies, and ego. The other is Good. It is joy, peace, love, hope, humility, kindness, empathy, and truth. Which wolf wins? The one we feed.

@EmiliaLahti @simonsinek Someone once said to me, “I hope the pain eases soon.”

It struck me as the purest blessing…

It’s so gentle, so kind, so hopeful…

So to everyone who’s hurting:

I see how hard you’re trying, and I hope your pain will ease soon.

@EmiliaLahti @simonsinek “When you look for things in life like love, meaning, motivation, it implies they are sitting behind a tree or under a rock. The most successful people in life recognize that they create their own love, manufacture their own meaning, generate their own motivation.” @neiltyson 70/ Image
@EmiliaLahti @simonsinek @neiltyson Rebuild, reconcile, and recover…
When day comes, we step out of the shade,
Aflame and unafraid.
The new dawn blooms as we free it,
For there is always light if only we're brave enough to see it,
If only we're brave enough to BE it.

@EmiliaLahti @simonsinek @neiltyson @TheAmandaGorman Confess your hidden faults.
Approach what you find repulsive.
Help those you think you cannot help.
Anything you are attached to, let it go.
Go to the places that scare you.

Trump’s DHS separated parents from their kids — and deported them. 545 parents STILL cannot be found.

THIS IS TORTURE:

“The kids would start crying and it wasn’t just tears, it was screams.”

@jacobsoboroff
BIDEN: “Children were ripped from parents’ arms and separated. And now they cannot find over 500 sets of those parents, and those kids are ALONE… It’s criminal!!”

TRUMP: “They are so well taken care of…”

“Donald Trump’s administration lost the parents of 545 children they abducted at the border and caged… Stephen Miller created the myth that these parents didn’t really lose their children.”

“The danger he poses is related to past dangerousness he has shown in terms of verbal aggression, boasting about assaults, paranoid reactions… This is a national security threat and the White House has a credibility crisis.” @pttrn_ntgrty #The25thFor45

“It cannot be that here and now in 2020 we allow the government of the people, by the people and for the people to perish on this earth. No, it cannot and it must not… WE WILL VOTE.” @JoeBiden in Gettysburg

“The FBI says white nationalism is a real problem, and the FBI wants to do something about it, but President* Trump doesn’t want to talk about that. He doesn’t keep the country safe.” @GenMhayden @RVAT2020

Typical income taxes:

Teachers paid $7239
Firefighters paid $5283
Nurses paid $10,216

...and Donald Trump paid $750.

That is unfair by any measure.

“How do you make a broken family whole? The same way you make a nation whole. With love and understanding, and with small acts of kindness. With bravery. With unwavering faith.” Dr. Jill Biden @DrBiden

“There's a humility to the randomness of tragedy that brings about caring that cannot be faked. Grief humbles you. In this moment our country needs a leader of humility. We are in pain. It gives us hope that Joe Biden is #ManOfTheMoment.” @ReallyAmerican1

“If you can find purpose in profound loss, it makes it easier. What bothers me most is the admin now has no sense of EMPATHY… People are really saying, ‘Tell me I’m gonna be okay. Tell me I can get through it.’” Joe Biden

“President* Trump wanted to have a DELIBERATE policy of ripping children away from their parents… The things he wanted to do not only were impossible, but in many cases illegal.” @MilesTaylorUSA @RVAT2020

Melania Trump says that detained children are better off in cages than where they came from.

Melania in July 2018: “‘Oh what about the children that were separated?’ Give me a fucking break.”

#MelaniaTapes
We now know DOJ aided President* Trump’s family separation policies without ANY plans to reunite them.

@AliVelshi: "What was the point of this?"

@jacobsoboroff: "To inflict torture, in the words of @P4HR.”
