With them, everything is a distraction.
It’s about misdirection.
When you remember that, you’re able to easily sift the information in front of you and ask yourself, “What are the critical things they want us to forget while our eyes and energy are being pulled toward the fireworks?

"As I would not be a slave, so I would not be a master. This expresses my idea of democracy. Whatever differs from this, to the extent of the difference, is no democracy."

Dear Ministers in America,

Bishop Budde did something awe-inspiring, something sadly rare, and something you are also capable of doing.

We must help one another find both peace and resilience. And take strength from knowing that ancestors have endured and have left paths to help guide us. The arch of history bends towards justice.
Justice is coming... eventually. ⚖️

A Trump pardon of the January 6 insurrectionists could have unintended effects: reminding the public that Trump tried to overthrow the Constitution.
