"I made you a promise in that church. You and me. Come whatever." 🦌❤️💍 This never loses its punch. #SPN #EpicLoveStoryofSamandDean
A nice reminder that the media is really loud in our collective consciousness while the good is quieter. #hope #Optimism
”Last night, while waiting to board our plane, our daughter Carter was being her usual inquisitive self wanting to meet and say “hi” to everyone she could, until she walked up on this man.
He reached out and asked if she wanted to sit with him.
He pulled out his tablet and showed her how to draw with it, they watched cartoons together, and she offered him snacks.
This wasn’t a short little exchange, this was 45 minutes.
Watching them in that moment, I couldn’t help but think, different genders, different races, different generations, and the best of friends.
This is the world I want for her.
In a country that is so deeply divided by beliefs, I want her life to be filled with moments like this... not liberal or conservative republican or democrat, socialist or capitalist, just HUMAN.
Joseph from Samsungus in Oklahoma, if this should happen to find you.
Thank you for showing my daughter what kindness and compassion looks like.
Continue to shine your light in the world.”

We had an assault weapons ban from 1994-2004 that prohibited the manufacture or sale for civilian use of certain semi-automatic weapons and banned magazines with 10 rounds or more.
Mass shootings dropped during that decade.
We did it once and should do it again.

We are failing our children. Guns are now the leading cause of death for children in the U.S.
Michelle and I mourn with the students and families of the Covenant School today.
Readers added context they thought people might want to know
According to the CDC, accidents are the leading cause of death for children and adolescents.
The claim that guns are the leading cause of death for children would only be true if children under 1 are excluded and 18 and 19 year olds are counted as children.

We could end the teacher shortage tomorrow if we just paid teachers what they are worth and let them teach.

The right’s rhetorical attachment to “theory” and “critical theory” is clarified when we take a longer view of the culture wars. gawker.com/politics/whos-afr…

A lot of powerful men, including a military leader, are apparently afraid to do what Cassidy Hutchinson just did

MLK DAY UPDATE:
Quick note, there’s a temporary moratorium on white people quoting MLK’s “I Have A Dream” speech on MLK day. Sorry, you’ll have to find another quote from him, LITERALLY ANY OTHER…to show your unending commitment to racial equality, once a day per year.

Manchin has told folks “he thought parents would waste monthly child tax credit payments on drugs instead of providing for their children.” Parents aren’t like Manchin who wastes his power lining his pockets instead of providing for West Virginia families. huffpost.com/entry/joe-manch…
