Don’t listen to the haters.
They’re gonna tell you they saw me tear up a little when I saw @Tim_Walz (good man) vibing with his son last night at the DNC.
Don’t believe them.

When asked in 1968 by David Frost how he'd like to be remembered, Senator Robert F. Kennedy quoted Albert Camus: "Perhaps we cannot prevent this world from being a world in which children are tortured. But we can reduce the number of tortured children."
Sen. Kennedy then added, "I'd like to feel I'd done something to lessen the suffering."
We proudly carry forth his legacy. Heal Pain. Teach Change. Shape History. Join Us.

What a statement from former President Carter, “Rosalynn was my equal partner in everything I ever accomplished. As long as Rosalynn was in the world, I always knew somebody loved and supported me.” It doesn’t get better than that.
And let’s not forget her groundbreaking work in the mental health and caretaking space. This is what a deeply meaningful and wildly authentic life looks like.
Rosalynn Carter, the humanitarian and mental health advocate who transformed the role of America's first lady, has died. She was 96. cnn.it/3R6fByV
