It is the first thing we receive and the last thing to leave us, breath. Be still and appreciate this life-giving force. Pull it into your lungs and enjoy the sensations while it enters and departs your body. Be grateful. Now, go, have a wonderful day.

Senate Republicans voted to kill an EPA rule limiting the seven most hazardous air pollutants emitted by chemical plants and other industrial facilities.

Robert F. Kennedy Jr. will direct federal health agencies to explore potential new treatments for measles as the U.S. faces its largest outbreak in 25 years. Experts fear the decision could have grave consequences, as studies show the existing vaccine is 97% effective in preventing infection.

Poverty is not a moral failing. Spending money on a silly, nonsense treat does not mean you deserve of poverty.

So don't you worry your pretty, little mind
People throw rocks at things that shine
And life makes love look hard
The stakes are high, the water's rough
But this love is ours

I support marriage equality, because we are who we are across borders, race and sexuality. Our value is not negated by our love for another. Love, regardless of sex organs, has the ability to move us out of despair into place of dreams, even as it grounds us more deeply within our own skin.
