Good morning, lovelies. Here is one of your periodic reminders from the friendly neighborhood witch: hope is a practice. It is a series of decisions and actions that cause an outcome in terms of outlook and mindset. Hope is a seed we plant, tend, nurture, and whose fruit we eventually harvest. (1/8)

I said my main goal of this trip was to meet with Kilmar. Tonight I had that chance. I have called his wife, Jennifer, to pass along his message of love. I look forward to providing a full update upon my return.

Best line today, at the end..
If Trumpty-Dumpty is working with the Russians to screw up America, he's doing a great job. Eggs, $11 a dozen. Health & Human Services down the dumper, ditto VA. If you call Social Security, they tell you to call back later. Guys 'n gals, this is more fucked up than Peter O'Toole on his birthday.

Regardless of negotiations between warring parties, people in Gaza still need an immediate and massive scale-up of humanitarian supplies.

The Trump administration is at war on civil rights. Friday’s announcement intensifies their clampdown on concepts & topics related to race & identity that if implemented could effectively re-segregate higher education. We must forcefully oppose these assaults.
