People have a lot of anger and frustration in their lives but feel powerless to direct it towards the sources of those feelings so they pick the easier, more vulnerable targets that have low probability of countering with real consequence.

Today, @GovernorKayIvey showed what courageous and common sense leadership looks like.
By commuting the death sentence of Charles “Sonny” Burton, she ensured that justice—not technicalities—guides the most serious decision a state can make.
The tragic death of Doug Battle 35 years ago will never be forgotten. But as his daughter, Tori Battle, powerfully wrote, executing a man who did not pull the trigger would only compound that tragedy.
Justice and mercy walked together today.
Mercy saves lives. 🙏🏽

Puttering around the house is an underrated form of self-care. Make some tea or coffee. Put on a podcast. Sort the mail. Tidy some pillows and fold some blankets. Start the laundry. Thaw some soup. Just casually wander around aimlessly doing little things to make your space and life a little nicer. Who cares if you get distracted or only do a little? You aren't being productive. You're puttering.

“Why are folks getting dumber?” Because they don’t read. “Why aren’t men as romantic & poetic as they used to be?” Because they don’t read. “Why are people so vulnerable to propaganda?” “Why is everyone a conspiracy theorist?” Because they don’t read. Because they don’t read.

This is what happens when a country commits to HPV vaccination and screening. We protect our girls and save lives.

Your periodic reminder that Bill Clinton wanted to give every American a universal health security card so no one would ever have to worry about insurance ever again, but it was Hillary's idea, so the men in Congress killed it.
