Monday

The work he is doing with Wes Moore and other governors:

His statement when he vetoed HB11 (a ban on transgender students participating in school sports) is one example of "walking the walk."

Also, my reply above about his misguided prayer:

Is the man a liberal saint? No fucking way.

However, he is one of the few remaining Republicans who has not lost his mind. By his actions, he has earned a little grace from people who embrace essential American values -- values like human-rights, rule of law, religious freedom, self-governance, and economic justice, and the thinking underlying those values, among them rationality, compassion as a moral imperative, and scientific inquiry

And furthermore, he is SPOT ON about the damage being done by Conflict Entrepreneurs. If you have any doubt about that, I suggest you visit the Center for Humane Technology and listen to their Your Undivided Attention podcasts.
