“So keep fighting for freedom and justice, beloveds,
but don't forget to have fun doin' it. Be outrageous... rejoice in all the oddities that freedom can produce. And when you get through celebrating the sheer joy of a good fight, be sure to tell those who come after how much fun it was!”
― Molly Ivins

Another quote shared on FaceBook yesterday:
“If I am not for myself, who will be for me?
If I am not for others, what am I?
And if not now, when?”
― Rabbi Hillel

And this powerful story:
A group of Jewish Americans went to visit Israel in the sixties. There they met a well-known Rabbi who in spite of being debilitated by Parkinson's, was a great beacon of light to those around him. He addressed the group and demanded, "what was the lesson of the Holocaust?" Mostly silence ensued, followed by some awkward murmuring of "never forget" and "always fight." More silence.
"No!" the Rabbi said, slamming his fist down on the table. "When the Jews were in Auschwitz, the Nazis gave them one blanket per three people."
"Why did they do this? So that they would fight among themselves. So that their humanity would be stripped away."
"The lesson of the Holocaust, was simple."
"Share the blanket."
Our humanity is exactly what will stop Trump.

And "to all the little girl whose are watching this, never doubt that you are valuable and powerful and deserving of every chance and opportunity in the world to pursue and achieve your own dreams."
HRC
If this election has you down, take heart in the fact that Trump has awakened a sleeping giant!
