Constantly wondering if we laugh or cry.
Just a reminder: having a functional moral compass right now is going to make you feel bad all the time; don’t mistakenly hate yourself for that.

The opportunities are, quite literally, endless
Between the unsecured bombing chats and eliminating FEMA and trafficking legal residents to foreign labor prisons and supermaxxing measles and halting cancer research, it’s so hard these days to guess how you’re gonna die

If this doesn’t resonate people, not sure what will?
Adding a journalist to a top secret government group chat about dropping bombs *IS* the kind of thing people who aren’t super politically literate can understand and find shocking/notable/disqualifying. Dems should seize on this and never ever let it go. I hope to hear about it in a decade

Today, thousands of openly-transgender service members will put on their uniform and do what needs to be done because they honor their oath to our country, while Pete Hegseth denigrates their service and violates his oath by brazenly sharing classified intel in text groups.

Just a reminder.

I am working out of a public library and there are a good number of people who seem to be on hard times using the facilities for various reasons like job searching, entertainment, charging peripherals, using the bathroom, etc., and I am struck by how important it is that libraries continue to exist

I’m confused why they didn’t leverage The Seer at this roundtable? Wasn’t the whole point to help with banishment 🤔 #TheTraitors

taking black kids away from their parents and putting them on farms seems really familiar to me! what could it be?
Even the most disturbing RFK Jr. headline always manages to have a detail inside creepier than you could have imagined. I’m sorry, did you just say Black kids should have a chance to get “re-parented”???? Gift link wapo.st/4hW2xGI

Just wonderful writing on the 60 Minutes piece on President aMusk dismantling of USAID

"The world's richest man cut off aid for the world's poorest people."

Well done.

Wow. This takes real courage.
Jim Acosta announces on air that he's leaving CNN and says, "it is never a good time to bow down to a tyrant ... don't give in to the lies."

This is always a good idea 🙂
It’s a wonderful day to visit your local used bookstore and buy some banned books 🥰

An integral part of fascism is a scapegoat to target hate.

It’s a distraction from the real reasons you can’t make ends meet…

The Sermon on the Mount gave us the Eight Beatitudes that guide us on how best to live in God’s light. 🙏🏼✝️🌄

I’m reminded that “Christians” could use the reminder, as they weaponize our faith in opposition to Jesus’ teachings:

🕊️ Blessed are the poor in spirit: for theirs is the kingdom of heaven.

And so it’s begun. ICE raids at elementary schools, illegal checkpoints nowhere near the border.

So much for only going after the “criminals” – we knew it was always so much more than that.
“Terrible things are happening outside. Poor helpless people are being dragged out of their homes. Families are torn apart. Men, women, and children are separated. Children come home from school to find that their parents have disappeared.”

Most bipartisan take: Congress should not be allowed to trade on the market.

What's happening now is designed to overwhelm, discourage and disorient us.

There are evidence-based practices that can help center us in the eye of the storm so we can be more effective in responding. If you could use one now, here's a series of brief, daily meditations I can't recommend enough:

“Our commitment to an enterprise rooted in respect and inclusion is appropriate and necessary.”

Not only the right thing to do but also a smart & proven business decision.
NOW: More than 98% of #Costco shareholders have just rejected an anti-DEI measure

The attempt to force Costco to audit their #DEI work was by an anti-inclusion lobby group:
