Democracy depends on disagreement. It does not require humiliation. When contempt becomes entertainment, we all lose something. I don't expect everyone to agree politically. I do expect public events connected to our government to treat people with basic dignity. #proudblue #pinks

The challenge is learning to remain curious enough to question our own side's certainties as well as the other side's. Equality before the law is a democratic ideal. Equality before truth is a personal one. Justice becomes distorted when we excuse in ourselves what we condemn in others.

The challenge is not merely to question the other side's certainties, but to remain curious enough to question our own.
