My piece is called "Blessed Be Her Children." Cass is a single mother who finds hope and connection in a women’s group tied to an enigmatic congregation. The deeper she's drawn into its embrace, the more of herself slips away until the congregation’s hidden truths threaten to consume her completely.

Remember both that this was always the goal and that this plan was enacted by the Democratic Party because Israeli propaganda was being dismantled as quickly as they were putting it out.

This may explain why there’s an aggressive response to people who merely post Kirk’s own words. It threatens the existence of the alternate Kirk - the motivational speaker that had been marketed to young kids and white Christian groups through selective quotation & clips.

I love that this book also includes stories of how people have effectively organized against private equity. Extremely inspiring.
I'm currently reading Bad Company: Private Equity and the Death of the American Dream, and it's convincing me (even more) that, if all private equity ghouls' heads simultaneously exploded Scanners-style, our world would be a much better place.
