What is most disheartening is that for the first time in my life I asked my government to help ME. I spent my life caring for others, and sacrificed holidays, time with friends/ family and even my own health. I marched and called and voted. . . 1/2

Today in Politics Chat, I talked about how power sloshes around when a president is checked out, and noted that right now unelected officials like Stephen Miller are trying to grab it. But instead, We the People can take it back and create a better nation.

This is very good.

If you read one thing this weekend: And above all, keep faith in the long game. While narcissistic dynamics rely on urgency and alarm, deep change comes from staying calm, clear and connected.

This is just fascinating!
When botanist Richard Deakin examined Rome’s Colosseum in the 1850s, he found 420 species of plant growing in the ruins: cypresses and ilex, pea plants and more than 50 types of grasses.
But some flowers growing there mystified him. They were so rare they were found nowhere else in Europe.
