When, on Sept. 11, nearly 3,000 people were killed, we reorganized the entire federal government. We're now losing that many people every three days, and the Senate went home early for Thanksgiving.
Kindness matters.
But kindness does not = justice.
Civility counts.
But calling for civility is not the humane response to injustice.
Justice is.

The work we have ahead of us is deep, and transcends elections. It always has been. And we are called to do it.
For the first time in a long time, I don't really care what Trump says, on here or elsewhere. The votes have been cast, he's losing, and nothing he says can stop that. Carry on.
