Similarly, if you’re an elected official not voting one way or another or not standing up for your constituents because you are scared or threatened, you should step aside and let someone else with courage step up.
Also if you’re unwilling to be confrontational with powerful people you just should not be a journalist. You aren’t cut out for it.

On Thanksgiving, turkeys are usually a comfort food, but on one farm just outside Nashville, Tennessee, the birds offer a different kind of comfort — cuddle therapy.
At this Tennessee farm, guests are gobbling up the chance to cuddle with turkeys

You cannot have a functioning economy when so few people at the top hold so much of the nation’s wealth. It’s not sustainable.

Yesterday my daughter asked me why you have to buy something in a cafe if you want to sit in one. And I explained about how businesses work. And she asked 'what if you're old and want to sit somewhere warm?' You think anyone in government right now is thinking about where old people go to sit down?

Many people on socmed responding to the Farage racism story with ‘We all said things like that in the 70s’. If you did, you’re one of those who made my childhood miserable much of the time. And if you have no remorse, face facts: you’re (still) a racist.
