I wanted to share probably the most important sermon I’ve given and it’s while I’m being arrested. It’s torture pure and simple what happens at #Broadview. I’m ok, though I was thrown to the ground and choked with my pectoral cross. A review of the video shows I was peaceful - did I deserve this?

Centrism is not reasonable. It stands in limbo between the view that all humans should be treated well as citizens of planet Earth and the view that only a tiny few powerful people matter.
When you stand in that limbo, you're actually just floating, lost.
It's not "reasonable." It's delusion.

Hey Megyn Kelly,
14-year-old Eloise would like a word:
“If my voice makes you uncomfortable, good…
because the minute adults start defending predators by defending the age of a child, you’re not protecting the truth, you’re protecting the predator.”
Sound up! 🔥🔊

This Green Party rise in the UK is fascinating to watch. (don't worry, no Jill Stein involved).
Would love to see @workingfamilies.org do something similar here.

Look y'all, I have no idea if this will finally bring him down. I do know he's weak, his regime is weak, and this will definitely weaken him even further, and it's our job to hold our seats, look out for each other, and never bow down to these silly, weak little boys.

1628 mentions of Trump feels like a lot. Is it a lot?
Wow. Courier created a searchable document where you can review all 20,000 Epstein documents.
Guess whose name appears more time than anyone else’s?
Trump.
He’s mentioned in a whopping 1,628 documents.

I have the pleasure of never getting my coffee at Starbucks, but if you occasionally or regularly do, please refrain in solidarity with the workers.
Starbucks’ CEO makes 6,666x what the average @sbworkersunited.org barista does. It would take less than one day of sales to finalize a fair contract.
Baristas at Starbucks corporate stores nationwide are on strike to fight this corporate greed and get the fair contract they deserve.

I hope he recovers, but man do I wish there was some better safeguard against working as hard as we all did to get an utter imposter elected. It happens far too often for this to be anything resembling democracy.
📍Senator Fetterman had a VFIB—the leading cause of cardiac arrest—he almost died if not for his implanted defibrillator, which can cost $34,000 to over $51,000. Days ago, he also just voted with GOP to gut health insurance tax credits for millions. Hope he has a change of heart.

Meditate today, even for just five minutes.
A few moments of spacious mind is all you need. Don't worry about all the moments the mind feels tight and anxious. Just notice the space around all that for a few moments, and it slowly changes your relationship to awareness.

NYC was not a fluke.
Katie Wilson, a longtime progressive organizer and founder of Seattle’s Transit Riders Union, has been elected as Seattle’s next mayor. She defeated incumbent Bruce Harrell.
Wilson campaigned on expanding affordable housing, improving public transit, and enacting fairer taxation policies.

As of this morning, Starbucks workers across the country are officially ON STRIKE. And we're prepared for this to become the biggest and longest ULP strike in Starbucks history.
Say #NoContractNoCoffee with us: DON'T BUY STARBUCKS for the duration of our open-ended ULP strike! $SBUX

A good question to ask of anyone holding political or economic power in America right now.
Something that’s so striking in these emails is how…unimpressive Epstein is. He comes off as a pompous, sub-literate lech. Yes everyone is so mortifyingly solicitous of him! All fawning and flattery! Why?????
