My @finding_ruth_1941 #Instagram account chronicles my search for my great aunt whom I discovered was a victim of Aktion T4, Hitler’s secret euthanasia program. An aspect of WWII history of the killing of persons with disabilities culminated in my book, “Finding Ruth”. Link for book in comments.

Newsom: "Think about the state of mind of the VP. How do you square the circle when you go to a prayer breakfast? Old testament, new testament. What's the fundamental thing that connects John to Matthew to Proverbs? It's this notion of hunger, feeding the poor. It's central to advancing God's will."

I don’t know how many times I’ve watched this video.
I don’t know how we’ve gotten to the point where men in full balaclavas can abduct daycare teachers while they’re watching children.
But I do know that this isn’t sustainable. Abolish ICE. There is no way to reform this.

Leaf once commented, "Early on in my writing career I realized that if one found some truths worth telling they should be told to the young in terms that were understandable to them."

Did you know that due to his silent, agile, and predatory style of play on the court, Michael Jordan was nicknamed 'The Black Cat' by opponents and teammates alike?
How's that for some Halloween sports trivia?
