"The best way to find yourself is to lose yourself in the service of others”

For me, nobody epitomizes this quote better than Jimmy Carter.

Rest in peace, good Sir.

May your character, compassion and deeds inspire generations to understand the true meaning of a life well lived.

When Jimmy Carter was at his sickest, he refused hospital care saying he wanted to pass away holding Rosalynn’s hand.

When his wife Rosalynn died, she did so with her loving husband holding her hand.

Have you ever seen such an enduring love story?

Today we remember Former President Jimmy Carter.

Been thinking about how rare it is now to see an elected official with President Jimmy Carter's basic decency and deep commitment to helping others. The definition of a leader and public servant. We don't have many Jimmy Carters serving in elected office anymore. RIP

Guinea worm used to afflict 3.5 million people each year. This year, thanks in part to Jimmy Carter, there have been 7 cases. He negotiated the longest humanitarian cease-fire in history to distribute water filters & larvicides www.scientificamerican.com/article/jimm... via @tanyalewis.bsky.social

President Carter defined what it means to be a servant leader. He fought for our democracy, our climate, humanity, and civil rights around the world. We can find peace today knowing that he is reunited with the love his life, Rosalynn.

We could've had this in Tim Walz, but folks wanted the man who talks about people's private parts unprovoked.

“He walks into a volunteer’s home and he goes, ‘I see you’re a little behind, do you have your toilet in?’ This is Jimmy Carter telling someone how to install a toilet in the sweltering heat.”

(From The Washington Post)

Rest well, kind and decent one.

President Carter put solar panels on the roof at the White House in the SEVENTIES.

Hating-ass Reagan and his team removed them

We can survive a corrupt and vengeful Republican administration. We've done it before.

We can survive an ineffective Democratic administration.

We cannot survive an oligarchy.

For America to persist, this is the fight that matters.

This is the fight we need to rally around.
