Thanks to Magers & Quinn Booksellers in Minneapolis via abebooks for this great copy of the Conscience of a Liberal by fmr. Senator Paul Wellstone (RIP) A long overdue addition to my political #book collection.

Excited to follow @babaramdass.bsky.social here. This photo of him lives in my mind. Sad that these sentiments seem counter-cultural in this difficult age: "Love everyone and tell the truth."

Keep ruminating on the unyielding velocity of action in this administration. Beimg used to suppress awareness of the onerous and wear out activist opposition. I am a news junkie and am having trouble keeping up with what is unfolding daily, overnight, and on weekends too.

There should be an antonym for 'doomscolling' where you're sifting thru your camera roll for past pics of your dog. From a nicer time last October: Ms. K the daschund.
