Can we speak truth to power while at the same time acknowledging the inherent incompleteness and flaws of our truth? How?

We have to find a way to balance our presumption of innocence with our presumption of truthful accusation.

The truth is: social media isn’t eroding how we interact with one another. It’s changing it. Society isn’t collapsing. It’s changing.

There will be more tax bills in the future, more sex offenders in power, more devastation of our conservation lands. There will be an endless supply of things to be rightfully outraged by.

The world is a brilliant, wondrous place, so long as we judge it for what it is.

The only thing of value that can be done with privilege is to leverage its power into something useful, something that can help rectify the pain and suffering all around us.

It’s time to dispel the belief that cynicism and despair are the only ways to show we care.

I live life simply trying to discover and honor all the parts of me that can’t be reconciled.

Stop arguing that we should raise taxes. Instead, make the very reasonable assertion that we should have more public money and less money for the super rich to hoard.

Facts don’t often change peoples minds. People follow their hearts and instincts.
