"Grit isn't defined by the result—it’s revealed by the effort."
Dear critics of Lindsey Vonn: Kindly shut up and go back to your couch.
Grit isn't defined by the result—it’s revealed by the effort. Resilience isn't seen in a fall—it’s shown in the resolve to bounce back.
Success is more than the finish. It's the distance traveled to the start.

I guess it's a good start...
Still need to 1) find a pathway to compensation for living donors - either direct or via credits - and 2) nationalize the various donation databases into one queue in order to improve outcomes and increase the depth of donation chains

If a group of drunken undergrads did this, there would be arrests, letters to the editor, and public outrage at the next borough council meeting.
But sober federal agents without a warrant?
Just another Thursday.
Stunning levels of disrespect for people, property owners, and the Constitution.

I’m on the scene at Franklin and 1st. A convoy of about a couple dozen ICE/HSI agents broke the entryway into an apartment building at 6am. No warrant presented. Less than 24 hours ago, Tom Homan announced the end of large convoys in Minnesota… Bullshit.

Them, but also more directly: 285 people out of 535 could end all this (218 + 67). That fact should not be treated as an "oh they'll never do it" shrug, as if they don't have agency. They should be hammered constantly as traitors and cowards every day they don't.
Seeing a bunch of normal ass midwestern moms and dads marching in -20 degrees knowing they might be tear gassed or worse really drives home what a cowardly lot of people the pundit class is

As a hearing impaired person, situations that are chaotic and require immediate compliance are impossible
One thing I didn't fully appreciate until I sat on a jury and reviewed body cam footage for myself, is how cops yell contradictory instructions at people like "Don't move" "Put your hands up" "Get the fuck out of here" "Keep your hands where I can see them" etc. all screamed at your face with guns
