@tedlieu @HouseJudiciary @RepSarbanes Elected representatives should pledge to act with the highest standards of care, honesty & integrity. It should be part of the oath of office. In short it is a fiduciary responsibility the betrayal of which should be impeachable.

Racism is a virus that quickly mutates and, instead of disappearing, goes into hiding, and lurks in waiting. Instances of racism continue to shame us, for they show that our supposed social progress is not as real or definitive as we think. #FightRacism #FratelliTutti

Truth is truth. You know it when you see it but only with open. Happy wishes to all this #WorldHappinessDay

[Pope Francis – ARCHIVE @Pontifex266Arch]

Each day that begins, if welcomed in #prayer, is accompanied by courage, so that the problems we have to face no longer seem to be obstacles to our #happiness, but rather appeals from God, opportunities for our encounter with him. #WorldHappinessDay

If you told me to pick a stranger at random to babysit my kids and I had to choose between a crowd at a Black Lives Matter protest and the MAGA folks that stormed the Capitol it wouldn’t even take me a second to decide. I’m going BLM every time and feeling fine with it.

It is up to us, today’s humanity, especially believers, to turn instruments of hatred into instruments of #peace, to appeal firmly to the leaders of nations to make the increasing proliferation of arms give way to the distribution of food for all. #ApostolicJourney #Iraq

Education is the only real defense of democracy

[Laurence Tribe 🇺🇦 ⚖️ @tribelaw]

“While the country spends about $50 federal dollars per student per year on science and math education, only five cents per year per student is allocated for civic education.” Democracy demands a population better educated in history and civics.
