The Episcopal Diocese of the Rio Grande received a letter from Trump’s DHS today accusing them of human trafficking because they run a shelter for migrants—a shelter paid for, in part, *by* DHS. It is an attack on the freedom of religion, and on the trustworthiness of the govt. youtu.be/7Wl4f0bA4MI

Just wait until the women’s sports supporters who got caught up in the anti-trans propaganda of the Trump campaign realize that Title IX (the civil rights act that mandated equal support of — and therefore catalyzed the rise of — girl’s and women’s sports) is “DEI”.

As South Africa is on the top of today’s new feed - let me suggest The Promise. On my top 10 list of all time. The writing is brilliant.
The Promise | The Booker Prizes
The Promise won the Booker Prize in 2021. Brutal emotional truths hit home in Damon Galgut’s deft, powerful story of a diminished family and a troubled land.

Another book recommendation. Thinking about USAID - this is the story of the America’s first humanitarian mission.

A story of generosity amid unfathomable despair - the widespread contributions of food from American citizens to famine-stricken Ireland in 1847.

One of the most terrifying books I have ever read. And that was before Nov ‘24.
Paul Lynch's lyrical 'Prophet Song' portrays survival as democracy goes off the rails
The book focuses on a single family and how the horrors playing out around them affect their destiny, while also exploring issues of choice, resistance, helplessness and hope.
