This is hopeful despite the indictment she is faced with.

Thank you to everyone who’s supported us.

And a special thank you to Illinois elected officials — including many of my opponents — who have condemned this political prosecution by the Trump administration:

A lovely walk in the woods today. It smells like fall. The sun was shining through the clouds. Life is pretty darn good in the Pacific Northwest.

Dragging a protester across the line.
This is huge disaster waiting to happen.

This video from Portland is a metaphor for what is going on in America. ICE trying so hard to get Americans to cross a line and if they don't, dragging them across the line and violently attacking.

Carney emotionally recites Leonard Cohen: "Ring the bells that still can ring. Forget your perfect offering. There's a crack, a crack in everything. That's where the light gets in." In every moment where there's a crack, there is possibility. It's our opportunity as Canada in this moment to find it.

Discovered a new to me, musician.
I've been thinking about dying and how it's going to be,
my skin and bones give up the ghost and I finally feel my fragile soul.........

Kind of like most Americans now-where did you put democracy?

This is the song that Trump's team used on the video posted that was so dystopian. They didn't use it exactly.

Trump's account posted a dystopian video featuring dark imagery with him as saviour, of course and accompanied by a song that sounded familiar reminiscent of the 60's. I couldn't find it but I found this. www.youtube.com/watch?v=M79n...

Jane Goodall, final interview 8 days before her death. She looks fully present and so it would seem that she slipped away having done all that she could into a well deserved rest. We were so very fortunate to have her on planet with us. ❤

My delightful, one year old grandson loves, loves listening to Michael Jackson. He bops around on his cute little tushie with an air of seriousness, like it is the most important thing in the whole world at that moment. He is probably right!
