"Stay out of politics" isn't a choice now for athletes, writers, comedians. We're citizens. Our nation is in trouble. To respond is to care.

I loved you so much, Rayya. Thank you for letting me walk with you right to edge of the river. It has been the greatest honor of my life. I would tell you to rest in peace, but I know that you always found peace boring. May you rest in excitement. I will always love you.

Dear Congress, Here are my thoughts and prayers today Thoughts: Leaders who care more about appeasing the gun lobby than protecting children’s lives are not fit to lead Prayers: That all such leaders be voted out of office (Call 844-241-1141. Tell your representatives ENOUGH)
