And this right here is our problem. People who think The Jews have some secret magical influence over world affairs.

On this day in 1965, peaceful marchers in Selma, including my friend John Lewis, were beaten by state troopers for demanding the right to vote.
The violence of Bloody Sunday shocked the nation and helped lead to the passage of the Voting Rights Act just months later.

"sometimes boys love boys and sometimes girls love girls and sometimes girls are born as boys and boys are born as girls, and all of this is perfectly okay, and if you turn out to feel any of these ways about yourself, i love you and support you" is really not that hard a thing to say
