Villains are the joker, the riddler, and william barr the purported attorney general. thank you. love you, tommy raskin. next question comes from mark meddish. how would your favorite french philosopher analyze the vices of donald trump? ah. clearly, cruelty is the heart of donald trump s vicious system and all of the other vices flow right out of cruelty. i don t know if they re ever going to wake up and accept those election results. i hope that it doesn t lead to violence in the country. i really hope that people, that they don t start doing really crazy things. i love the fact that we survived this nightmare. it was really, really hard and difficult and it continues with covid-19 to be so difficult for people, but we have survived through it all, through the neo-nazis marching. we have survived through the corruption. we have survived through the ukraine shakedown. we are still here.
Coming and sharing our grief and sharing our joy about the life of tommy blume raskin. hi. we re all here. so good to see you guys. how are you guys? how are you, guys? hi, beautiful. hi. i ve lost my son. i ve lost something so fundamental, so elemental in my life i am not sure at times that i even recognize the world. a little part of each of us died with him that day. in my case it was the belief that everything would have to be all right in the end. the beautiful and the true would
The last night i got to spend with him we had dinner together. we played some boggle, which was his big game, and watched some stuff on tv. and we talked about going for a hike the next day. i gave him a hug good night. told him i loved him. told me he loved me. and that was the last time i saw him alive. how are you coping? well, tommy left us a farewell note where he said, please forgive me. my illness won today. look after each other. the animals and the global poor. all my love, tommy. and i ll spend the rest of my life trying to live up to that
My dear boy is very, very close to our hearts and on our minds and we ve been deluged with e-mails and food and love and messages from around the world. and in truth i haven t been sleeping a lot since we ve been without tommy. yeah. tommy had been fighting depression for several years. normally he was just the happiest, most energetic person you could ever hope to meet. but he was suffering from depression. it was serious.
Have to triumph over all the evil and the chaos. i ve lost that sense of absolute inevitability in happily ever after. but if part of us died with tommy, a big part and far more important part of tommy lives on with each of us. it is the sense that what matters is the people in our lives, their feelings, and their experiences, and that it is possible, it is advisable, it is right to design your life around practicing the love of other people. your love can become the engine of a quest for justice. for juse
