Never more true than today.
I can't do this anymore. Between the blatant disregard for truth from the owner and the increasing darkness that forced even @StephenKing to leave, I can't stay here. This will be my last post on @twitter.
"It's the story of a normal man who tried to fight, even if he was in front of the biggest army of that time, in front of colleagues who could be traitors...It's the story of courage, of the love of his wife who wanted to know what happened to him..." n.pr/3O6pqdI
"When moods of defeat, despair, accidie and “So-what-ness” visit me (they are not infrequent!), I find a sense of hope and meaning in my patients, who do not give up despite devastating disease." Oliver Sack #HealingTheHealers bit.ly/3CnnTO5

If you want an idea of how crazy RFK Jr. really is, give this a read. If he’s in charge of HHS, the nation will be in peril.

The Houston Zoo’s jaguar family has grown by a few spots! In the early morning hours of Nov., 6 Vida, our female jaguar, welcomed a baby boy jaguar. Mom and baby will spend time behind the scenes bonding before the cub makes his public debut: bit.ly/48RNQ4m

Kerry Kennedy, sister of RFK Jr. and daughter of Robert Kennedy, on her brother:

Matt Gaetz practiced law for two years at a private law firm. That is the extent of his legal career. He has been under legal investigation almost 10xs longer than he’s practiced law. This is not only a disgrace to all Americans, but the legal profession.

This is an absolutely must-watch. All of it. Five minutes. Imperative.
These extremely online young Christian men want to end the 19th Amendment, restore public flogging, and make America white again.

Matt Gaetz used to walk around the cloakroom showing people porno of him and his latest girlfriend,” one former Republican lawmaker told me. “He’d show me a video, and I’d say, ‘That’s great, Matt.’ Like, what kind of a reaction do you want?” (The video, according to the former lawmaker, showed the hula-hooping woman.) theatlantic.com/politics/arc…

On this day in 1960, 6-year-old Ruby Bridges integrated William Frantz Elementary School in New Orleans, escorted by federal marshals. A white mob protested her arrival, screaming slurs. calendar.eji.org/racial-inju…
