Dear Ms. @Simone_Biles Thank you for finding your voice and staying true to yourself. I know it was hard, scary, and you probably felt alone. But you powered through and are still the peoples champion!
I hate with every fiber of my being abuses of power. And the unfortunate truth is that there is almost no corner of the globe, anywhere, in which imbalances of power don’t exist. I pledge to continue to do my part to fight for equity wherever I can. Who’s with me?
I imagine one of the reasons people cling to their hates so stubbornly is because they sense, once hate is gone, they will be forced to deal with pain.

This bullshit must end. I’m a multi-gun owner who got my first gun — a .410 shotgun — 55 years ago. I support the 2nd Amendment, but I also believe in common sense. The notion that we can do nothing because Bubba & Cooter need their slaughter weapons to stop tyranny is lunacy.

Today's about courage, compassion & your emotional IQ; there's also a heightened awareness for the feelings of others. Your power comes from self-knowledge: believe in yourself so you can bring out the best in others.
