I have the audacity to believe—peoples—can have 3 meals a day for their bodies—education & culture for their minds—dignity—equality—& freedom for their spirit.
You have a soul. You must know the truth of this message in your heart of hearts. To “vote w/ your heart”—which is to say your conscience—isn’t the opposite of “voting with your head”. No. It is a mind focused on fear that prevents us from accepting what’s possible. #Bernie2020
“—I exhort—prayers—intercessions—thanks be made for all men—kings &—authority that we—lead—quiet—peaceable life in—godliness & reverence—this is good—in the sight of God our Savior who desires all— saved—For there is 1 God—Christ Jesus who gave Himself a ransom for all”
1Tim2:1-6
@thomaschattwill The issue is spiritual & systemic. Spiritual: in why anyone sustained by love checks out of any issue too great to handle. Systemic: bc more than 1/2 of Americans are w/o a college degree & the most basic human needs are not guaranteed or woven into the cultures values.
@NewsHour#BadBunny shared beautiful words when he said the only thing more powerful than hate is love. I think those are words to be celebrated—& if we apply that we will see that is the medicine to the illness causing mass inequity of wealth/income/political/tech
"America is not America because of one individual group... And Bad Bunny displayed that at the Super Bowl halftime show and for that I'll give it a 10/10"
– @EmmanuelAcho commends Bad Bunny for his refusal to assimilate to typical Super Bowl halftime standards
50 Cent gets emotional as he meets a girl from an orphanage he saved through his donations 🥺❤️
When 15-year-old Maya posted a simple video about how 50 Cent’s words helped her push through the hardest days at school, she never imagined he would actually see it. But he did.
And when he learned she’d been carrying far more than her share - juggling classes, a job, and raising her younger siblings - he stepped in without hesitation or spotlight. 👏
He covered her school expenses. He found her a tutor. He gave her the room to breathe, to dream, to just be a kid again.
With that support, Maya didn’t just finish school – she graduated with honors. 🥲🎓
And when she walked across that stage, 50 Cent whispered the words she’ll never forget: “You did the work. I just helped you believe you could get there.”
This moment right here, when they first came face-to-face, was incredibly-powerful. ❤️
@RelatablewABS Bible agrees: the kingdom of God is multicultural. The focus is: God made man in his image. Because he loves the world he sent Jesus—& for Jesus sake Paul says: I am all things to all people that I might by all means save some 1cor9:22. Jesus. Lift up Jesus.
CHAMPION OF HEARTS: This teenager bought a championship belt for a classmate with special needs after they bonded over wrestling. 😭😭😭😭
Humanity isn’t gone. It’s right here. ❤️
This scene from Home Alone will never feel the same again.
From Kevin’s mother to Moira Rose in Schitt’s Creek, from Beetlejuice to Best in Show, Catherine O’Hara gave us characters that were hilarious, heartfelt, and unforgettable.
Her performances shaped generations of movie and TV lovers. May she rest in peace, and may her work live on forever. 🙏
Novak Djokovic: “My kids don't have phones and won’t until they’re mature enough. They complain everyone at school has a phone except them. When everyone follows the herd, conformity is expected but it doesn’t have to be that way. That’s where we differ.”

"If there was a pill that would make you as nice as the people I go to church with, everybody would be on it....they are the nicest f****** people you'll ever encounter."
Joe Rogan praises his fellow congregants for their kindess and selflessness.
Wagner Moura on why he believes Americans take democracy for granted:
"When I was doing 'Civil War,' I was constantly thinking about how differently Brazil reacted to our insurrection — in a better way than you guys did, because Brazil was quick to do the right thing and send the message that you can’t mess with democracy. We sent people to jail. Bolsonaro is in jail.
In America, it’s as if they’re testing, like a kid — they’re like, 'I’m going to do it,' and if there’s no reaction, then what? I feel like the U.S. and its institutions are not responding with appropriate firmness — putting up boundaries, people facing consequences."

Actor Joseph Gordon-Levitt came to Utah's Capitol today to urge lawmakers to support HB286, which would require AI companies to do more to keep children and others safe. A House committee unanimously approved the bill, sending it on for further consideration #utpol@hitRECordJoe
#EthanHawke says he’s never felt afraid to speak his mind “until the last couple of years.”
“There’s a fear in the air that I’ve never felt before — and it’s not America,” Hawke told Variety on Monday night at Sundance. “To be an artist in a free country is a privilege. I don’t feel that way anymore. And that has to change.”
Edward Norton: “These are not normal times. We have extrajudicial assaults on Americans going on a daily basis now and it’s not okay. We cannot act like this is not happening. What they’re doing in Minnesota with the strike needs to expand. I think we should be talking about a national general economic strike until this is over”
