Traveling and couldn’t watch, but seems like an encouraging second half. Good to have a game like this in November.

Listening to this tonight after the Kimmel news today - hearing the discussion of the Kilmeade comments in that context is really nauseating. One guy issues a milquetoast apology and the other is pulled from the air. Up is down.

As an American, Charlie Kirk had every right to say whatever he believed without fear of violence. The fact that someone murdered him is sickening and alarming. The fact that Trump is trying to use it as an excuse to silence criticism and opposition is also sickening and alarming.

Read it again. Read it whenever you're feeling depressed about democracy or whenever you feel like you can't fight fascism. And when you read it, read it out loud. Lincoln put the emphasis on the word "people" not on "of, by, for." Read it again. It's our time. Lincoln calls to us. 🥰

“The world will little note, nor long remember, what we say here, but it can never forget what they did here. It is for us the living, rather, to be dedicated here to the unfinished work which they who fought here have thus far so nobly advanced.

“But in a larger sense we cannot dedicate, we cannot consecrate, we cannot hallow this ground. The brave men, living and dead, who struggled here have consecrated it, far above our poor power to add or detract.

“We are met on a great battlefield of that war. We have come to dedicate a portion of that field as a final resting place for those who here gave their lives that that nation might live. It is altogether fitting and proper that we should do this.

“Now we are engaged in a great civil war, testing whether that nation, or any nation so conceived and so dedicated, can long endure.
