I have a hard time expressing into words what I felt last night when Reece Vander Zee won us the game.
So I turned what I felt into a video instead…
So proud to call myself a Hawkeye!
@CoffindafferFBI John’s life was absolutely worth something. You, above everyone, should believe in our justice system. Just because they prosecuted the wrong person doesn’t mean his life was “ worth nothing”
Yes, EDB! Thank you for putting into words the “what the actual fuck” feeling we all had while watching this.
“I am perplexed by his incredulity.”
This applies to most investigators in this case, actually.
This is good 💯
Pope Francis wrote this in the Hospital.
“The walls of hospitals have heard more honest prayers than churches...
They have witnessed far more sincere kisses than those in airports...
It is in hospitals that you see a homophobe being saved by a gay doctor.
A privileged doctor saving the life of a beggar...
In intensive care, you see a Jew taking care of a racist...
A police officer and a prisoner in the same room receiving the same care...
A wealthy patient waiting for a liver transplant, ready to receive the organ from a poor donor...
It is in these moments, when the hospital touches the wounds of people, that different worlds intersect according to a divine design. And in this communion of destinies, we realize that alone, we are nothing.
The absolute truth of people, most of the time, only reveals itself in moments of pain or in the real threat of an irreversible loss.
A hospital is a place where human beings remove their masks and show themselves as they truly are, in their purest essence.
This life will pass quickly, so do not waste it fighting with people.
Do not criticize your body too much.
Do not complain excessively.
Do not lose sleep over bills.
Make sure to hug your loved ones.
Do not worry too much about keeping the house spotless.
Material goods must be earned by each person—do not dedicate yourself to accumulating an inheritance.
You are waiting for too much: Christmas, Friday, next year, when you have money, when love arrives, when everything is perfect...
Listen, perfection does not exist.
A human being cannot attain it because we are simply not made to be fulfilled here.
Here, we are given an opportunity to learn.
So, make the most of this trial of life—and do it now.
Respect yourself, respect others. Walk your own path, and let go of the path others have chosen for you.
Respect: do not comment, do not judge, do not interfere.
Love more, forgive more, embrace more, live more intensely!
And leave the rest in the hands of the Creator.”
—Pope Francis
Goncalves Family Statement on the 911 call. “They were children, still clinging to the fragile threads of innocence when the world was violently torn from them in an instant.”
“Had the 911 call been made the moment the accused left the house, it would not have saved anyone. Nothing would have changed.”

This old man, who was going to speak against gender-affirming care in the Wisconsin state legislature, changed his mind after actually speaking to and listening to trans people for several hours.
Don’t let your hate block your willingness to learn:
