"Those who can make you believe absurdities can make you commit atrocities." - Voltaire
A warning from 1765 that's screaming at us today. When we surrender critical thinking for comfortable lies, atrocities follow—against truth, justice, and our shared humanity.

“No problem can withstand the assault of sustained thinking.” — Voltaire
Anchored thinking means refusing to accept the easy silence. When we pause, reflect, and return with courage—speaking truth, pushing back, doing what’s right—problems and bad leaders lose their power.

“He who has a why to live can bear almost any how.” — Friedrich Nietzsche

Martin Luther King Jr. understood that doing the right thing is rarely convenient.
Timing is often used to delay responsibility. When the choice is clear, the obligation to act is already present.
That standard still holds. Now more than ever before. #MLK

In our political climate, it’s tempting to cling to comfort and party loyalty. Without principle, privilege collapses. Integrity must anchor democracy.

When leaders fail to govern themselves, they begin to govern others without restraint.
Unchecked power doesn’t just distort judgment — it erodes accountability, empathy, and moral limits.
You don’t need names or headlines to recognize the behavior.
History has already written this lesson.

You can’t claim self-love while being fueled by hatred. Racist attacks don’t come from confidence or strength. They come from insecurity, jealousy and weakness.
Self-respect shows up as dignity, restraint, and knowing you don’t need to tear others down.
Barack and Michelle Obama are decent people.

History shows that power fueled by fear does not endure. When leaders rely on force to maintain order, they become dependent on it. Control replaces legitimacy. Restraint disappears. What begins as authority becomes captivity, not of the people, but of those trying to hold the reins.
