This is the American that embodies our best values and ideals. Not the man in the White House. I am grateful that the world can see a very different side of the American people through his faithful witness.
The powerful weapons used in modern wars threaten to lead us to a barbarism greater than that of the past. In the name of human dignity and international law, I repeat to those in positions of responsibility what Pope Francis used to say: 'War is always a defeat!' And with Pope Pius XII: 'Nothing is lost with peace. Everything can be lost with war.'
One of my least favorite things, genuinely, is seeing Trump hold court with a bunch of sycophants standing around him smiling and laughing at unfunny jokes.
@DavidSacks Even if true, a red herring and irrelevant as a defense of Trump’s support of an actual dictator. I know I can’t convince you but I legitimately don’t understand why we can’t get aligned on who the bad guy is here. It’s just so obvious
It's so hard to separate the quality of the presentation from the quality of the insight. But it's really, really important to do. Lots of bad ideas get put into very appealing packages.
Alexei Navalny was in the darkest pit. And yet he remained free. May his example of courage live for all time. God knows we need it in ours.

Truly stunning work by @mckaycoppins. I got chills reading the account of Jan 6 and Mitt’s enraged rebuke of Hawley, et al as they huddled in the senate chamber pre-evacuation. Regardless of politics, Mitt is a dying breed, and I believe we’re worse for it.
For two years, I met with Mitt Romney in his DC townhome as he grappled with what his party—and his country���were becoming. The stories he told me from inside the Senate were extraordinary and damning.

@paulg@joshuaackerman You may be right! But this particular way of verifying could be subject to a base rate error (i.e., there are so many more middle class or poor kids that they throw more, or many more, darts overall).
