A quote for dark times: [View all]

“We used to say that ours is not the struggle of one day, one week, or one year. Ours is not the struggle of one judicial appointment or presidential term. Ours is the struggle of a lifetime, or maybe even many lifetimes, and each one of us in every generation must do our part. And if we believe in the change we seek, then it is easy to commit to doing all we can, because the responsibility is ours alone to build a better society and a more peaceful world.” --Congressman John Lewis, 1940-2020

I, for one, won't give up. It angers me to no end that my daughters have fewer rights today than I did when I was their age.

My older daughter is 23 today. My younger one will be 21 on the 19th. They're worth fighting for.
