[CALL TO ACTIVISM @CalltoActivism]

Years ago, anthropologist Margaret Mead was asked by a student what she considered to be the first sign of civilization in a culture.

The student expected Mead to talk about fishhooks or clay pots or grinding stones.

But no.

Mead said that the first sign of civilization in an ancient culture was a femur (thighbone) that had been broken and then healed. Mead explained that in the animal kingdom, if you break your leg, you die.

You cannot run from danger, get to the river for a drink or hunt for food. You are meat for prowling beasts. No animal survives a broken leg long enough for the bone to heal.

A broken femur that has healed is evidence that someone has taken time to stay with the one who fell, has bound up the wound, has carried the person to safety and has tended the person through recovery.

Helping someone else through difficulty is where civilization starts, Mead said."
We are at our best when we serve others.

Be civilized.

Great. But why not also push through a bill to codify Roe? No time to waste.

The profits of ExxonMobil, Chevron, BP and Shell have skyrocketed by 169% so far this year to $125 billion.

While you were paying through the nose at the gas pump, Big Oil companies were using the cover of inflation to line their pockets.

It's time for a windfall profits tax.

[Governor Andy Beshear @GovAndyBeshear]

With $1.3 billion in revenue surplus estimated for FY 2023, we can more than afford to fund universal pre-k and a 5% pay raise for teachers and school staff.

Let's seize this moment and invest in our future by building a world-class education system for Kentucky's kids.

@elonmusk Please explore the concept of asymmetrical polarization in politics. Your idea of centrist is skewed. #assymetricalpolarization

[Joyce Alene @JoyceWhiteVance]

👇🏼This is important. Projecting losses at the polls based on biased data is a method of suppressing Democratic votes & it's rampant this cycle. Don't be fooled. Vote!

My opponent was arrested on Oct. 4th for sexual indecency 190 ft from children playing at a childcare center. We still have not heard about a charging decision from the Maricopa County Attorney. Anyone know if this a typical timeframe for this process?

There is nothing secret or hypothetical about Republicans’ plans to cut Medicare and Social Security if they win back the House. It’s literally their plan. They will do it. Don’t let them be in the position to. VOTE.

[Judd Legum @JuddLegum]

America's "violent crime wave" is a hoax.

Over the last 30 years violent crime is down dramatically.

And there is no recent increase.
