We’re in a moment now where it would be worth people taking three hours to watch Gandhi, particularly the scene of the salt march. There is value to making the brutality of your opponent so plain as day that no one can argue with it. The clarity of that brought down an empire

There is no moral equivalence between bullies and the bullied, between tyranny and democracy, or between brutality and decency. No individual can be free in a society devoid of justice. There can be no liberty where brutality reigns.

Last night was the 250th anniversary of Paul Revere's midnight ride to warn the Minutemen of approaching British troops.

In America an ugly chapter has begun. We understand that this is our time to stand for our principles -no matter the cost. We see fear-we see cowardice. And we see courage too.
This moment calls for moral fortitude & clarity. We are wide awake now. Our best selves are rising to meet the moment.
