You are a huge disappointment. I will never support a party that supports someone like you cosplaying as a man of decency. Just remember that you will be the reason democrats lose. Don’t be the reason, just resign.

That’s great news!

Liberty Memorial is where I cast my very first vote. Every time I visit I remind myself that we cannot take for granted the rights we have and we must constantly remind ourselves what those rights are and exercise them.

My liberty and freedom came at the cost of my family but I value it and I am willing to fight for both my rights and yours.

Even as an adult, I was not allowed to vote and if I did, there would be consequences and I would lose my family. I did lose my family. This is what happens when you grow up in a cult and it is why I value my freedom and liberty.

Liberty Memorial is special to me. I come here to reflect on the past and dream of the future. I was not allowed to go to public schools. I was not allowed to have friends outside of the ultra conservative religion my parents and family were part of.

Any thoughts on the order that I should read the works of these minds?

Bertrand Russell, Ralph Waldo Emerson, Adam Smith, Friedrich Nietzsche, Immanuel Kant, René Descartes, Jean-Jacques Rousseau, John Locke, and Carl Jung.

Integrity demands honesty, accountability, and consistent ethical standards even when it creates friction. Yet it is always necessary because without integrity, there is no trust, there is no justice, and no meaning to our words or purpose itself.

Wishing 27th street and McGee had those for the bike lanes. Drivers just continue to park in them with only the paint.

Morning will always come, but it is up to us as individuals how we spend the dark night, and what we do to protect those we care for, our loved ones, our community, as this world shifts around us.

Listen to their fears, listen to their wants, needs, and concerns, not in a transactional way, but by holding their thoughts in compassion as if they were our concerns.

Yet the very most powerful thing we can do is to listen intently to the person across from us as they tell us the path they have walked themselves.

One of the most powerful actions a person can do right now to change the world is to have a cup of coffee with our neighbor, express our own personal journey in life, explain how we became the person we have become, and share why we feel the way we do about the world now and where we are headed.
