The Universal Declaration of Human Rights was penned to encourage mankind to embrace a brotherly and sisterly bond. However, if our own flesh and blood fail to embody this ideal, how can we expect the world to do so? Perhaps, it is time to rewrite the scenes of the play of life, to redefine the roles of brothers and sisters, and cultivate a society abundant in empathy and compassion.

Being able to have people I could be friends with who could sharpen me and my conservatism. So yeah, that was it — discovering Thomas Sowell in high school and continuing to build on the ideas at Stanford through the friends that I had.

They have not been able to flesh out from top to bottom what this Department of Public Safety is gonna look like, you know, if you can't tell us -- and I'm not saying you have to have one hundred percent of everything, you know, fleshed out -- but give us something. You know what I mean? Put some meat on the bones. There's nothing here other than we're gonna have a Department of Public Safety and, you know, it's gonna have mental health workers that go on calls.

It was the moment when Martin Luther King Jr. went to jail that his followers saw he was more than just a preacher. He was with them. He risked his life for them. He was one of them. We can’t be afraid or we won’t be able to do what needs to be done. But also, by this fearlessness—willingness to represent the cause, in the flesh, against all dangers—we show everyone else that they’ll be okay as well. The leader risks themselves for us. They step to the front. They make their courage contagious.
