John Lewis's favorite quote. “Be ashamed to die until you have won some victory for humanity (Horace Mann, 1859).” “Siéntete avergonzado de morir hasta que hayas logrado alguna victoria para la humanidad (Horace Mann, 1859).” #GoodTroubleNecessaryTrouble #Migente #Persist Book by Jon Meacham p.49
I’m currently reading His Truth is Marching On, John Lewis, and The Power of Hope by Jon Meacham. My favorite quote from the book so far is on page 49. I hope this quote, which Mr. Lewis loved, inspires you. “Be ashamed to die until you have won some victory for humanity (Horace Mann, 1859).”

Thank you for trying to stick up for me. I was trying to make the point that if my 80-year-old in-law just got on Bluesky for the 1st time, saw that, & uses Grammarly, they might be confused/offended by that message & not interact w/or follow that person. Salesmanship. I was saying that w/love.

Every tyrant in history has sought to stifle criticism of himself and his regime. But America was founded on criticism. American democracy was built on dissent. Every institution, group, firm, or individual that surrenders to Trump’s wanton tyranny invites more of it.

@gabino.bsky.social I'm sorry, but I must speak up here. Many people have dyslexia, and AI tools help some individuals communicate with others who may berate them for typos or misspellings. I am not sure if you are aware of that. See below. #Empathy www.madebydyslexia.org/dyslexicu/
