I am hard pressed to find a quote that resonates more than this in current times.
"If the Divine call does not make us better, it will make us very much worse. Of all bad men religious bad men are the worst."

We are horrified to learn of the shooting of Charlie Kirk. Political violence has no place in democracy. The foundation of democracy rests on the principle that differences can be debated vigorously, but peacefully, without intimidation or acts of violence.

Real stories from real Americans on the harm the Trump administration is doing them, like waiting since January for an Arlington funeral to be arranged for a loved one, but there is insufficient staff to make it happen.

The GOP's latest bill is a DEATH SENTENCE for millions. $930 BILLION cut from Medicaid? Stripping healthcare from 16 MILLION Americans?
This is class warfare against the poor & vulnerable.

I feel as though I am pretending to be something I am not. I am comfortable writing prose and producing visual art. I am not a poet. I honestly don't think I've written a poem since high school.
Once this poem started to form in my mind, there was no letting it go.

I love that my church shares my values.
The Episcopal Church is actively opposing Republican efforts to extend 2017 tax cuts and reduce federal safety net programs. Church leaders say these measures would harm low-income families and contradict Christian values of social justice.

Jack of Diamonds is a hosta with really cool leaves; I was satisfied with that. But it turns out it also has pretty purple flowers.
These flowers are *tiny* (the size of the flame on the back of a dime) and challenging to grab focus.

It's challenging to look at a bush full of flowers and find a composition interesting enough to photograph.
When I stepped into my backyard this morning with my camera, I didn't intend to photograph this mountain laurel. In fact, I didn't even know it was blooming, as it's in a less visible spot.

NAFTA: My Front-Row Seat to the Race to the Bottom…
Let me tell you what NAFTA looked like from the inside—because I lived it. Americans didn’t just lose jobs to Mexico, jobs were lost to China too.
When it was ratified in 1994, I was the head designer at a company called Z Cavaricci.

On Monday, April 28, three people knelt in the Rotunda of the U.S. Capitol to pray. Among them was Rev. Dr. William Barber—pastor, teacher, and tireless advocate for the poor. They weren't shouting. They weren't armed. They weren't vandalizing sacred symbols of democracy.

Gift link for the non-Atlantic subscribers about how... I mean, the headline pretty much says it all, Trump's national security team included the editor-in-chief of The Atlantic in a Signal chat about its plans for bombing Yemen.

U.S. national-security leaders included me in a group chat about upcoming military strikes in Yemen. I didn’t think it could be real. Then the bombs started falling.

Boston Mayor Michelle Wu shows how to stand up to cynical political theater: assert your values without apology, speak up for the people in your care, call out the lies & the shameful politics of manufactured crisis for political gain. More of this pls www.bostonglobe.com/2025/03/05/m...
Wu spars with GOP representative who called her a ‘hypocrite’ and accused mayors of violating federal law. Follow live updates. - The Boston Globe
In her opening statement to the committee, Wu repeated a core message — Boston “is your home” — in multiple languages, a nod to the city’s diversity.
