Random quote of the day:

“But there are none so frightened, or so strange in their fear, as conquerors. They conjure phantoms endlessly, terrified that their victims will someday do back what was done to them—even if, in truth, their victims couldn’t care less about such pettiness and have moved on. Conquerors live in dread of the day when they are shown to be, not superior, but simply lucky.”

―N.K. Jemisin, The Stone Sky

Random quote of the day:

“We call them strongmen because that's their goal, is to appear strong. But actually there is so much more strength in the willingness to lead a true democracy. You are strong because you can hear dissent. And it is not strong to gas people and to stand in front of a building with a bible. That's not strength, that is a performance.”

—Sherrilyn Ifill, NAACP Legal Defense Fund, interview, CBS News, June 7, 2020
