@apnews.com being irresponsible in their coverage. Don't just parrot a right wing talking point in a headline, regardless if Mr. "Prays to God the shooter is not one of us" says it.

I thought a couple dozen folks would show up for the #handsoff protest in the small town of Menomonie, WI, but there was over a hundred easy - this IS what democracy looks like!

Please call your MOCs. This is perhaps the most blatant grab for executive power I have seen in my life. I called my Senators, the Republican Ron Johnson's voicemail was full. That's what our tax dollars are going to; his huge salary but apparently not his phone plan. #trump #federalaid

The world is full of suffering right now. What can we do? We can rely on our vows to keep us moving forward on a true path. Yes, the world feels scary, but each act of bravery and kindness spreads out like ripples in a pond.

We think we are independent, separate entities going through life like hungry ghosts, but really we are interdependent co-arising beings. This is the essential teaching of the Buddha. Suffering is the mist that clouds our vision, and so we think we are alone in the world. #thichnhathanh #plumvillage

Please do not build a stupa for me.
Please do not put my ashes in a vase,
lock me inside and limit who I am.
I know this will be difficult for some of you.
If you must build a stupa though, please make sure that you put a sign on it that says,
‘I am not in here.’
