What does it truly mean to love, completely, fully, without condition?

I am still learning, and Mirabai's example is to me one of loving the divine within.

AOC: We heard that we should take your word that Medicaid will be protected — that we should trust you that no one is going to be affected by this. But as a woman, the word was given that my rights would not be taken away by the Supreme Court — and that wasn’t true.

Auchincloss: "This issue about the Maryland man is not about border security or immigration. It's about freedom. Freedom in the US means that if your feet are on American soil, you get to stand in front of a judge on an equal basis to the awesome power of the state and put forward the facts."

When people not born in the US but legal residents lose their right to peacefully protest and to free speech it is a step toward authoritarian rule. When the Federal government refuses to abide by court orders that is a fissure in the checks and balances.

We knew exactly what this administration was going to do because it was written in Project 2025.

Folks can be surprised at how quickly it has moved, but no one can act like they didn't know.

I cannot convey enough how grateful I am to the millions of you all supporting us with your time, resources, and energy.

Your support has allowed us to rally people together at record scale to organize their communities.

All with an average donation of $21.

THANK YOU & Pa’lante 🙏🏽♥️
News: AOC had her strongest ever quarter, raising over $9.5m from 266k individual donors for an average of just $21.

AOC doesn’t take a dollar from lobbyists or corporate PACS. Our top donor professions are teachers and nurses. 64% were first time contributors.

Out now, episode 1 of 6 on #Genetics in American #Politics & #Culture, www.geneticfrontiers.org/episode9-ang..., an interview Angela Saini. It's urgent to talk frankly about how what is happening politically in the US is informed by cultural ideas about science, genetics, heredity & human worth.

I’m conscious so many people are feeling anxious or angry. It’s because you care. It’s because you have heart and empathy for your fellow citizens. Take comfort from knowing you are not alone, and collectively we can create good in this world. Small to begin with, but it will grow. Rest well. 😊
