Nobel Laureate & @Cal Professor Czeslaw Milosz concluded that it is not those with the strongest minds who resist repressive regimes, since "the mind can rationalize anything." It is those with the weakest stomachs who fight back, since "the stomach can only take so much."
@NorCalNickCGB @GoldenBlogs I love em. Think Alex Mack and our proud history of turning three stars into All PAC 12 and $$$$. Cal wants young men that want Cal. Not for the weak or misguided.
Road trip family conversation about most likely presidential nominee for Dems. Agreed neither Biden or Sanders. @KamalaHarris was most likely and excited about. @SenWarren next. Then wild cards.
The single most insipiring athlete in America this week: Megan Rapinoe
Rapinoe’s week:
1) Scored both goals against Spain
2) Told Trump to eff off
3) Scored both goals against France
#TeamRapinoe
I love France and believe it is a beacon of much of what I hope for in humanity, though it has plenty of struggles. But still, I must say, Go Ladies from the un-United States!
The solution to these SCOTUS issues is to elect democratic house and senate and change the laws to forbid gerrymandering. Also, abolish electoral college and change the structure of the Court. The nation is leaving these 1950 ideas behind.
Absolutely. This court action makes it a kangaroo court for despots. A despot appointed two of them from an in democratic electoral college system, and now they cement that tyranny of the minority against the rest of us. How outrageously against the spirit of our nation.
With partisan gerrymandering decision (plus Citizens United/Shelby) Roberts Court has entered a new political Lochner era. This decision tears at the fabric of our democracy and puts the interests of the established few above the many. History will not be kind in its assessment.
The eternal strife of power and love. Humans are blessed with a capacity for empathy, but cursed w/ power lust that rips apart our world. What have all power lusting people: Stalin, Pol Pot, Trump, Catholicism, to name a few, in common? Divide and conquer. We must unite in love.
@VicEnwere23 Still miss seeing you do it for real on the field. Hope you’re doing well and don’t know where you’ve gone post Cal, but best wishes. Bet you’re not as sore these days eh?
Yes, the Christian God hates people with cancer, that’s why He makes sure people get it. To punish them for their many sins. Good job Catholic Church for upholding the word of God. Good jump Trump for appointing judges who will return USA to Gods chosen land. Hallelujah!
Absolutely! Because women’s health and choice about when to have children creates a healthier nation of wanted children whose birthdays can be celebrated! Get out of the dark ages.
This is in keeping with all the double speak. We have a science literacy crisis among 50% of our nation, and unfortunately our kids and grandkids will inherit a deeply damaged and deficient world. And no God wants that. No person alive then will agree with climate deniers.
Vice President Mike Pence refuses to say whether the climate crisis is a threat, when asked repeatedly by CNN’s Jake Tapper. https://t.co/A93tGCzWMM #CNNSOTU
