On the evening of April 04, 1968, Robert F. Kennedy was headed to Indianapolis for a scheduled speech when he learned that MLK had been killed. Kennedy now had the job of breaking the terrible news to 2,500 supporters. The speech he gave that night, improvised, is believed to have prevented mass rioting in the city. In it he spoke for the first time publicly about his brother’s death five years before, and then quoted, from memory, these words from “Agamemnon,” by the ancient Greek playwright Aeschylus: “Even in our sleep, pain which cannot forget falls drop by drop upon the heart until, in our own despair, against our will, comes wisdom by the awful grace of God.” It’s difficult to imagine a politician, or indeed any public figure, speaking with such intelligence and decorum today.

Congratulations to my friend @rweingarten on Why Fascists Fear Teachers. From banning books to controlling curriculum, authoritarians go after public education because it's a cornerstone of democracy. Randi's new book is a critical read for this moment. sites.prh.com/whyfascistsfea…

In this election, we each face a question: What kind of country do we want to live in? We each have the power to answer that question and in the next 103 days, we have work to do. Donate: kamalaharris.link/ChipIn
