did you miss the part where beto o’rourke, in the middle of hurricane harvey, called up a woman he’d met at a shelter to asked if she and her family needed anything, and she said, “well i’m fine but my sister-in-law has six kids and a tree fell on their house and destroyed the roof and thankfully no one was hurt but now they’re staying with a family friend and they’re rapidly running out of supplies which is such a shame because it’s her birthday” and beto o’rourke proceeded to drive to the sister-in-law’s house with a truckload of supplies and a birthday cake & he and his campaign staff sang happy birthday to her. that’s like the david sheldrick wildlife trust elephant adoption of public service.

It’s enough. It should be enough. We’ve got to stop the violence. It’s not enough for every sports organization to just do a moment of silence. We need to do more. So obviously we will do some things tonight, but as an organization we want to do more and see if we can make a difference, to try to stop the violence as much as we can… the next day people go about their lives and two weeks later it seems to happen again. And that cannot be the reality of our world today.” – Kings President, Luc Robitaille
