Random quote of the day:

“People often think they can’t make a difference like our civil rights icons, but every person in the movement mattered—those who made the sandwiches, swept the church floors, stuffed the envelopes. They, too, changed America. And so can we! The baton has now been passed to each of us.”

—Mayor Keisha Lance Bottom, DNC speech, August 20, 2020

Move

2020-07-06T23:23:48Z

Random quote of the day:

“Systemic racism can have an ending. Police brutality can have an ending. Economic repression of black and brown people can have an ending. A movement without action is a movement standing still. To those who say they care: Move more than your mouth. Move your feet to the polls, and use your hands to vote.”

—Stevie Wonder, YouTube video, “The Universe Is Watching Us,” June 23, 2020

Skepticism

2012-07-09T16:46:26Z

Random quote of the day:

“The chief deficiency I see in the skeptical movement is its polarization: Us vs. Them—the sense that we have a monopoly on the truth; that those other people who believe in all these stupid doctrines are morons; that if you’re sensible, you’ll listen to us; and if not, to hell with you. This is nonconstructive. It does not get our message across. It condemns us to permanent minority status. Whereas, an approach that from the beginning acknowledges the human roots of pseudoscience and superstition, that recognizes that society has arranged things so that skepticism is not well taught, might be much more widely accepted.”
