On Aug 24 2019, Elijah McClain, 23, was detained and assaulted by Aurora, CO police while walking home with a bottle of ice tea. Within minutes he was dead. The official report reads like an account of a lynching. bit.ly/37DSJQb (art: Wm. McNichols).

If I am ever nominated for a cabinet-level position this mean tweet might come back to haunt me.
Years had passed since the master had dubbed him Lyin’ Fyodor. Now one of his most servile allies, Fyodor begged for some ordeal by which he might prove his devotion, such as wearing madame’s cap in single combat or serving as a human carpet. #TolstoysTalesofTrump

On Feb 22 1943 Sophie Scholl and her brother Hans, 21 and 22, were beheaded by the Nazis for their part in the White Rose, a small circle of young people in Munich who tried to provoke a moral awakening by distributing leaflets denouncing the evils of the Nazi regime.

By proclaiming the truth they hoped they might help break the Nazi spell and inspire others, who were experiencing doubts, to take up active resistance. They knew the day would come when their fellow Germans would face a moral reckoning and ask, “My God, what have we done?”

"Isn't it true that every honest German is ashamed of his government these days? Who among us has any conception of the dimensions of shame that will befall us and our children when ... the veil has fallen from our eyes and the most horrible of crimes...reach the light of day?"

Yes, a good response to the misleading @nytimes story—with important lessons: “Whistleblowers will continue to come forward, as they must for all our sakes, only if they can expect to be welcomed into collaborations founded on mutual respect and a shared passion for justice.”
Thank you, Marie. It was a great gift to know her and accompany her on such an important project. I am so grateful.

Bro. Fyodor of the Cross had pledged to pray unceasingly for the master’s return. Yet at the first sign of frost he had abandoned his post. As a result, in penance, he was assigned to wear an emblem of his shame and to perform the works of mercy. #TolstoysTalesofTrump
