“we will force your entire bloodline to toil in the mines for the benefit of my descendants” may not be the best political messaging
Lutnick: "It's time to train people not to do the jobs of the past, but to do the great jobs of the future. This is the new model where you work in these kinds of plants for the rest of your life and your kids work here and your grandkids work here. We let the auto plants go overseas."

don’t ever give up… you never know when you’ll see a white star twinkling and the beauty of it will smite your heart and hope will return to you and the thought will pierce you that in the end the Shadow is only a small and passing thing and there is light and high beauty for ever beyond its reach

Sen. Booker’s speech was a substantive and moral account of this moment. He did not read the phone book. He did not babble.
For 24 hours @booker.senate.gov laid out a detailed, damning, and critical narrative of truth, history, politics, morality, humanity.

Many people want to imagine being a “hobbit at heart” as sitting around eating strawberries in the grass. But they forget how hard-won those strawberries are.

We think of Hobbits as quaint, but there is strength hidden within them that would rival the greatest elf-lord.

Hi All, I released the first part of my weekend update early (it’s all free) because what we are seeing is so extreme it needs to be said now. The USA is now openly admitting to helping Russia kill Ukrainians. Indeed, Trump seems to be enjoying it. open.substack.com/pub/phillips...
