- Sustainability, using the resources of today in a way that provides for our futures.
- Governmental reform, creating a fairer, more inclusive, and transparent process for operating elections and government.
- Legal reform, creating laws that protect and heal people while eliminating laws that do harm.
I am deeply passionate about electoral and governmental reform that makes the process more inclusive, fair, and diverse. I work towards this end by protecting voting rights, enacting Ranked Choice Voting, and holding publicly funded elections.
Corporations are not people.
Money is not speech.
If we do not acknowledge that our current system of government is broken we stand no chance of fixing it.
I believe the arts are a necessary component to life.
I am passionate about interdisciplinary studies, particularly as they apply to STEAM education (Science Technology Engineering Art Mathematics).
Cannabis should be legal, safe, and taxed.
We prevent crime by improving lives.
[11.6] More men from both sides kept on coming up, and Spartacus, realizing that he had no alternative, drew up his whole army in order of battle.
First, when his horse was brought to him, he drew his sword and killed it, saying that the enemy had plenty of good horses which would be his if he won, and, if he lost, he would not need a horse at all. Then he made straight for Crassus himself, charging forward through the press of weapons and wounded men, and, though he did not reach Crassus, he cut down two centurions who fell on him together.
[11.7] Finally, when his own men had taken to flight, he himself, surrounded by enemies, still stood his ground and died fighting to the last. Crassus had had good fortune, had shown excellent generalship, and had risked his own life in the fighting; nevertheless the success of Crassus served to increase the fame of Pompey. The fugitives from the battle fell in with Pompey's troops and were destroyed, so that Pompey, in his dispatch to the Senate, was able to say that, while Crassus certainly had conquered the slaves in open battle, he himself had dug the war up by the roots.
