As we pause to honor the many lives cut short that day, let us also remember and strive to live up to the heroism, compassion, and unity that Americans showed emerging from the darkness of that awful day.

It’s difficult to believe that twenty-five years have passed since the devastation of 9/11 changed so much in our county and our lives.
In the response, we also saw the best of America.

Congratulations to Xavier Becerra. I am excited to offer him all the support I can as he sets out to become our state’s next governor, and I look forward to standing with him as California makes history by electing our first Latino governor in 150 years.

This exactly. They are telling on themselves that they just locate all evil in a different place and it’s Israel. But totally not for antisemitic reasons.

Seeing the exact same people who've now spent a couple of years on this app saying they can't just settle for "the lesser evil" re: Biden, Harris, et al now arguing that we need to turn a blind eye to Platner's flaws because he's ultimately a means to an end is gonna turn me into the Joker.
I know people who have railed against voting for the lesser evil for years now saying that Platner is “flawed” but we should support him anyway as the only chance to break the Republican hold on the Senate.

Let me tell you a story about one of the most brilliantly written characters in all of fiction.
In his youth, he fought for an unjust empire and paid dearly, losing his only son in a multi generational war.

Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr. dedicated his life fighting for equity and justice. He taught us that even in the face of intimidation and discrimination, we must never stop working towards a better future – a lesson that feels especially relevant today.

Because I’m autistic, people assume I have no brain, heart, or soul.
I do have them.
But after a lifetime of being told I was selfish and creepy, my brain, heart, and soul are broken.
I’ll never fully heal.
What healing I can get, I can never provide myself.
I’ll always need help.
