Yes, overwhelm is the point, but it’s not the only point. The cruelty is the point. The lies. The destruction of our Constitutional order. These things are also the point.

I encountered the word “gumption” today, a word I heard often in my childhood in the South, but rarely in my almost 30 years in California. I created a little poem with it.
Courage
It takes little, daily acts of gumption.
Finding the things we can do.
Listening to what exactly it is that scares.

No matter your station in life, there is astoundingly little separating you from those men in that cage behind Kristi Noem. No charges, no attorneys, no hearings, no trial. Just conjecture and brute force could be enough to justify completely dehumanizing you, too.

And I am grateful to be a participant in this retreat
I've been having a great couple of days at a retreat where I'm talking about how vulnerability, compassion, and empathy -- all prized virtues in most spiritual traditions -- have been politicized and redefined....
Really good stuff, great questions -- smart, informed folks here.

American Christians would do well to remember that when it came down to a struggle between Jesus and Caesar, Caesar was the bad guy.

I'm not sure that the mainstream media understands that the test run for much of what is happening right now was the Fundamentalist takeover of the Southern Baptist Convention in the 1980s.
It has been the playbook for nearly 40 years.
