I even got, when I was very small I even got lost in Coney Island.
But they found me. On the beach.
And we used to sleep on the beach here, sleep over night.

Trump gets sidetracked in the middle of a story:
I used to play Little League baseball. I was quite the baseball player, you wouldn't believe. But I said to my mother, Mom, she would be there. She said, 'Son, you could be a professional baseball player.' I said, 'Thanks, Mom.'

Now that Nigeria has lost and is also not going to the World Cup, I want to say that borders, and the idea of a nation is a fiction that I do not and have no reason to believe in. I’m a child of the world and the cosmos. I belong to the land, the water, the moon and the stars.

I think one of the better, more subtle tributes to Robert Redford's life is the string of utterly iconic female co-stars who've come forward to eulogize him; each of them take-no-shit types like Fonda and Streisand, and every one of them without a single bad thing to say. A model for male behavior

This is more than a poem, it’s a call to conscience, courage, and community. In dark times, words like these remind us that resistance rooted in hope and unity is a force no fascism can withstand.
