Do not get lost in a sea of despair. Do not become bitter or hostile. Be hopeful, be optimistic. Never, ever be afraid to make some noise and get in good trouble, necessary trouble. We will find a way to make a way out of no way. #goodtrouble

@maklelan Sry. "Relationship"with regard to original language used (in case that wasn't clear. Also: your tees are how I get my teenage son to watch your Tiktoks! 🙂

[Jeff Meyers @JDMHistory]

@maklelan @maklelan Fascinating (my old church used the erroneous one to explain why we shouldn't go to movies or bowling alleys)! One question: Is there any relationship bt these verses & 1 Cor. 8:1-11:1? They were often tied together when either was being taught to childhood me.

Today, @LeaderMcConnell claimed the filibuster “has no racial history at all” (I think he meant “racist history”) and that “there’s no dispute among historians about that.” Below, a thread by historian @KevinMKruse, disputing that. https://t.co/bYN6CN6hcB

"mainstream media & Democrats are generally tough on Democrats accused of wrongdoing (as former senator Al Franken (D-MN.) can attest), while right-wing media & politicians act as apologists for far worse miscreants — such as former president Donald Trump."

[Max Boot 🇺🇦🇺🇸 @MaxBoot]

The right excoriates Andrew Cuomo while ignoring sexual misconduct charges against Rep. Ronny Jackson, Rep. Madison Crowther—and, worst of all, against former President Trump, who stands accused of sexual assault and rape. https://t.co/oRolQY1G0W
