And that’s what’s happened in this country. People want to hold moral high ground over being able to live and do what needs to be done for true equity. Sometimes you have to break the rules for the greater good. That’s the only way we get out of this mess.

I’m a very principled person but my morals are fluid based upon the context. For example, I think killing an innocent person unprovoked is wrong but I’m not against the act of killing if the situation calls for it. Rigid morals are a sure fire way to become a victim.

A lot of people mistakenly believe that only minorities receive federal aid, but they are about to find out the truth. Many people--of all stripes--are about to go hungry come February 1st. But remember, the MAGAts wanted cruelty; they just didn't think the evil would be inflicted upon them.

Everything America does to cut off its nose to spite its face is to hurt Black people first and women second. If you keep that in mind everything makes sense
I will never stop being aghast that the United States built a higher education system that was literally the envy of the entire world—our bitterest political enemies nonetheless sent their children to us to be educated, it was so good—& then just decided to systematically, ruthlessly dismantle it
