1. There is a VERY good reason

why this man's picture is my avatar. What we lost when he was murdered is unfathomable.

A deep and consequential loss. Even worse, he had grown so visibly in the final year or two of his life and it seemed like there was even more growth to come.

11. Same here.

Our nation would have been fundamentally transformed for the better under a Bobby Kennedy presidency. We have fallen far short of our potential without his leadership.

12. He is my avatar as well, and my all-time political hero.

I cry every time I think of how we lost him.

2. Were there a Bobby Kennedy in today's Democratic leadership, I'd be

hopeful that they'd actually start impeachment hearings.

3. Wisdom shared from the past, and very appropriate today.

4. When we tolerate what we know to be wrong...

RESIST!!!

5. and the stab wound in my heart is bleeding again . . .

6. From the past; when an injustice seen REQUIRED a reaction from those who seek justice.

RFK, JFK, MLK, Malcolm X, and so many more were struck down in part for their efforts to change systems and promote social justice...

Now the term "Social Justice Warrior" is frequently hurled around or at individuals as a pejorative instead of being recognized as a virtue.

We have fallen so far, so fast that it feels like we'll never again get back to barely above water instead of this hellish depth we find ourselves in now. The lights of the past can show us the way, if we are brave enough to cast off 'leaders' who would avoid the fight and live just to live another day rather than live to fight another day.

We need that fighting spirit in our party leaders to rally the public and save the republic; otherwise, I fear what we may be by 2021...

7. What a leader he was......

….. and what a excellent president he would have made. We as a nation lost a big part of our soul on 6June68.

9. Thank you for sharing this, Heartstrings!

Kicking for visibility!

14. Maybe we need to send thousands of these quotes to

Speaker Pelosi.

She is essentially ignoring Trump's wrongdoing by not bringing forth articles of impeachment.

And don't bother to say it's because it won't go anywhere in the Senate. By doing NOTHING she is failing to speak out and striking a blow against freedom, dignity, and justice, to paraphrase Robert Kennedy.
