A reminder in dark times: kindness, mercy, decency, and respect towards the least of us enrages Trumpists. It burns them. It’s like a mirror that shows them how they fall short of humanity.

Kindness and decency towards the people Trumpists hate is not just right; it torments Trumpists.

"It was this story that woke me up and made me a scholar. I found it fascinating that a group of ordinary people from country towns who shared a fear that they were losing their democracy could figure out how to work together to reclaim it."

There it is. The world's richest man cutting funds for the poor in order to try to justify huge tax cuts and gifts to him and others. Not to mention more contracts and business deals that will benefit him I'm sure.

Dan McClellan explains it all for you:

"Today's Christian nationalists stand condemned bythe prophets of the Hebrew Bible and by Jesus in the New Testament."

Christians are supposed to prioritize mercy. Period.

Deepest sympathies for my favorite actor, Mark Rylance, on the death of his brilliant and beloved wife -- and on his birthday, no less.

"Ring the bell, sound the trumpets reverie, something is done, something is beginning. One of the great wise ones has passed."
Theatre director Claire van Kampen dies aged 71
The wife of actor Sir Mark Rylance died after being diagnosed with cancer, a family statement confirms.
