Do more than celebrate the legacy of MLK Jr. Be inspired to continue the work he was known for doing. Do the work to end racism, poverty, violence, and other ills of our society. Do the work of love through peaceful resistance, grace-filled inclusion, and compassionate courage.
https://t.co/S17i8SpBmi I attribute motive and meaning to everything others say and do - not based in facts but based in how it confirms whatever negative thing I already believe to be true about myself or them. It’s gross. But it’s also human. @TedLasso
Nothing in the world is worth having or worth doing unless it means effort, pain, difficulty… I have never in my life envied a human being who led an easy life. I have envied a great many people who led difficult lives and led them well.

I really like how the Canadians I’ve been with this week refer to immigrants, refugees, & asylum seekers… as “newcomers.”
Simple. Kind. Neighborly.
Jesus carried a cross not a gun.
Jesus said when we welcome the stranger we welcome him.
Jesus blessed the poor, not the rich.
Jesus interrupted an execution & said, “Blessed are the merciful for they’ll be shown mercy.”
Jesus loved his enemies so much he died for them.
Jesus.
Today, I signed the Open Carry with Training Act into law! I will proudly support any legislation that protects or enhances a South Carolinian’s ability to exercise their 2nd Amendment rights, and that’s exactly what this bill does.
Here’s what this means for you:
This weekend, I signed legislation into law that will allow the state to carry out a death sentence.
The families and loved ones of victims are owed closure and justice by law. Now, we can provide it.
The South Carolina House has voted to add the firing squad to the state's execution methods amid a lack of lethal-injection drugs. The bill now goes to Republican Gov. Henry McMaster, who has said he'll sign it. https://t.co/JmhwZYlDHq
All Lives Matter is an ideal.
Black Lives Matter is a rally cry to commit to the work of ensuring that Black lives become a part of the ALL.
Multi-faceted and layered racism make it clear that Black lives are not indiscriminately among the ALL.
Do #BlackLivesMatter to you?
