Quaker, sometimes actress, justice and peace, walker in nature, remembering to laugh. No spring chicken.

Just deleted X. I’m new here. Be gentle. Let’s talk about Quaker stuff, working for justice in this awful time, theatre, gardening, humor, or anything else—with civility.

I haven't seen any other members of Congress taking about ICE (and whoever else is helping ICE) wearing masks and removing badges to hide their identity.
Call your Rep &. Senators! Ask them to talk about why ICE / DHS are hiding their identities!

This. And read Poverty, By America by Matthew Desmond.
60% of American households can’t afford a minimal quality of life.
Meanwhile, the 19 richest households saw their wealth increase by $1 trillion in 2024 — the biggest one-year increase ever.
Our problem isn't a lack of resources.
Our problem is ever-expanding inequality.

Recently, someone said to me that the time we’re in now is like 2020 with Covid. No one knows what exactly to do or how to act, especially vis a vis Trump’s despicable ICE actions. Here is some useful information to ground the resistance a bit. Sorry the print is small-expanding it helps.

Trump declared on Truth Social, “I will soon be announcing a new roster of ballerinas, with an amazing principal ballerina, DONALD J. TRUMP.”

To create the impression there is no opposition is something for which dictators strive. Don’t wait until the system has driven us into a corner where we cannot retain a vestige of self-respect unless we say No. Go out to meet it – to resist – before it has gone any further

Setting a goal for myself to read George Fox’s Journal. Read only pieces before. 100 pages in. I think I’m right that the first person he mentions who is ‘tender’ (and becomes a Quaker) is a woman, Elizabeth Hooten. Extraordinary for the day.

I have to announce that last night I slept from 10p to 11a. It feels momentous. Never slept that long as an adult. (Day time flight from LA to Boston must have played a role).

I encourage you to every word of this new @markjacob.bsky.social piece then print it out to hang on your fridge for a daily reminder of what we won't do.
If you’re disheartened by the election and the impending Trump disaster, read this installment of my free Stop the Presses newsletter. Here’s the mindset we need to survive the rise of fascism and ultimately defeat it.

Maybe I’m late to the game, but this essay by #parkerpalmer #centerforcourageandrenewal is truly amazing. It describes why, at their best, Quaker community and business process are profound gifts. It will stay with me.
