Those who don't study history are going to repeat its tragedies and offenses. Let us remember those who fought for an end to an unjust war.

Here in the US, gas and groceries cost more. Tariffs increase our costs. Overseas, our buying power drops.

[DOGE is] about efficiency in the same way that the "Ministry of Truth" in Nineteen Eighty-Four was about truth. 📚
So says Rebecca Solnit in her newsletter called "Meditations in an Emergency." Get it. Read it. Good stuff from a strong voice for the resistance.

And what was he doing, spending millions to go to a game when he has a job to do "governing" the country? Did he even know where he was? Word is he left early. If ever there was fraud and waste, this would certainly look like it. Where was DOGE (pronounced douche)? More BS. 🤬

I don't know how you feel about this, but I had a negative, visceral reaction to seeing the chief felon with his hand raised in a salute during the national anthem. Here is a guy who had five deferments for bone spurs, who calls those who have served "losers" and "suckers". I'm not buying his BS. 🤬

It's hard to find these in dark times. But if you need a little, I'm here for you. Share your love and light when and where you can. Each act of kindness and compassion for others, no matter how small, lights the way for others and brings hope. Don't be afraid. You are not alone.
