Why is it that there are never any conservative books in praise of Donald Trump?

Had some scrambled eggs for breakfast. It’s not the kind of indulgence you can afford every day but hey, you can’t take it with you.

Freddie Mercury didn't go into the studio and nail the vocals for "The Show Must Go On" in one take while dying of AIDS for you to despair and give up now. Take the time you need, but then get up and get back out there.
The show must go on.

Not just the highly educated. Welsh miners formed study groups to read Austen and Dickens. Scottish shepherds built lending libraries. Watchmakers & cabinetmakers taught themselves Greek and Latin. The loss of working-class autodidact culture is one of history's great tragedies.

As a writer, I’m begging y’all to please read more. Please journal your thoughts. Please THINK CRITICALLY. Please look to history, art, & letters to understand the slippery decline into what‘ll inevitably become our nation’s darkest days. You’re running out of time.

You know? I still find it remarkably easy to remain patriotic throughout this administration.
Trump and the MAGA crowd are a repudiation of every single civic ideal that the United States is meant to represent—and I see no reason to stop believing in those ideals because of them.

Remember, when you feel defeated. When you feel overwhelmed. When you feel like you can't keep track of it all. When you feel like it's hopeless. That is EXACTLY what the Trump Regime wants you to feel. We aren't whipped. You need to take a knee, you do that. We got this.

President Zelenskyy has been one of the greatest leaders of our time, guiding Ukraine through the darkest period of its recent history, rising up to Russia’s unwarranted aggression, being an inspiration to the Ukrainian people and ensuring that Ukraine’s voice is heard on the world stage.

Being an American means doing the right thing. The right thing is usually not the profitable thing. But it’s who we are…helping other nations, building stronger bonds, advancing science, and that’s what makes us great. I believe in that America.

It’s crazy in retrospect how confident and hopeful my generation (millennials) were fifteen years ago. We were making ground-breaking music. We were going to end racism forever. The internet was making everyone kinder and smarter. We had such dreams of a better world.
