Learning a second #language, and snippets of two or three more, has been one of the hardest but most worthwhile things I’ve ever done.

Advocates say it would be cheaper to help families get housing.

The "common good" is a set of shared values about what we owe one another as citizens who are bound together in the same society. A concern for the common good—keeping the common good in mind—is a moral attitude. It recognizes that we’re all in it together.

💯 with one comment: *white skin
Anyone who perceives Kirk as “civil” or as “doing politics the right way” is betraying their comfort with the ablative world Kirk worked so hard to create, secure in their belief that the grinding wheel will never touch *their* skin.
One wonders where that belief arises from.

I still can’t believe the guy who said it was an acceptable sacrifice for people to die in school shootings died in a shooting at a school—like some sort of O Henry, ‘Gift of the Politically-Violent Magi’ short story.

If you don’t present the body of a bug you intentionally killed to your partner like the corpse of a fallen foe, and they don’t respond like a victorious, villainous noble, I don’t know if we can be #friends.

I’m gonna say armed troops from red states descending on a blue city is just a few inches — or maybe one exchange of gunfire — short of a civil war’s opening stages.

The U.S. government’s treatment of Japanese Americans during WWII was a national disgrace, not a blueprint for immigration policy.
Q: “Are you going to make sure that all the [immigrants detained]…have due process"
Indiana Lt. Gov. Beckwith: “They don't have a right to see a judge…When the Japanese were bombing Pearl Harbor, did we give them due process?”
