Reposted from Roosevelt Institute

On the anniversary of Franklin D. Roosevelt’s passing, we reflect on the legacy of a leader who met crisis with courage & clarity.

As he reminded us: "The only limit to our realization of tomorrow will be our doubts of today. Let us move forward with strong and active faith."

His wife thought a lot of good things through, and put pressure on him to do the right thing, repeatedly.

People like Trump, who is weak, don’t understand that being cruel doesn’t mean being tough.

Cruel guys acting tough are more often than not weak.

Says the man who locked up, stole land from, etc. American citizens during WWII because they happened to have a certain ancestry. Not really much different from the liberal politicians now in regards to Palestinians though. Better than the alternative, sure… but there needs to be better alternatives

Wild to see all the people who agree with Nazis with their hate of FDR. He alone wasn’t responsible for Japanese internment and the executive order doesn’t even specify Japanese descendants. Germans and Italians were also interned. But learning history requires learning context, which is sooo hard.🙄

Trump would call him “Polio Freddie” and joke his wife was an ugly lesbian.
