Other people saying things

"If and when a majority of Palestinians start demanding the rights of citizens within the country in which they are currently living, there will be no credible argument against them."

“I smelled bad. I was handcuffed. I missed my kids. I didn’t feel like a person anymore.”

"I bailed one of you out of jail. I fought in a committee meeting for something no one else seems to care about."

"There is more to the pope’s action than kindness to an 81-year-old man."

"We don’t know, Jim, where you are."

"Maybe my students need church to be the thing that backs down and that expects whatever percentage of themselves they’re able to give—today."

"If you're reading this, you probably already know the folks I'm talking about."

"Instead, would-be reformers like Michelle Rhee totally abandon advocating for poverty reduction in favor of flavorless, politically neutral policies that don’t offend big donors."

"No matter my demeanor, how calm I was, they were still like, 'He's going to snap.'"

"I wanted to let you know that we will not be talking to you that much about the PARCC assessment or the Common Core."

"It is the kind of thing you either immediately say yes or no to."
