Recently, I learned that birdsong awakens the seeds under the Earth. The famous mystic Rudolph Steiner has said that for seeds, plants, and trees to grow, birdsong is essential. open.substack.com/pub/summeris...

Sec. Pete Hegseth’s “infidel” tattoo in Arabic sends a troubling message. Gov’t officials should uphold religious neutrality, not alienate service members. Our leaders must respect all beliefs, not promote exclusion.

After Hegseth argued “nobody was texting war plans," The Atlantic’s Jeffrey Goldberg responds: “That’s a lie. He was texting war plans, he was texting attack plans. When targets were going to targeted. How they were going to be targeted. Who was at the targets. When the next attacks were happening”.
