Venezuelan opposition leader María Corina Machado won the Nobel Peace Prize today for her efforts to achieve democracy in her country.

Mie Hoejris Dahl interviewed Machado for WPR just days before last year’s election.

On this Independence Day, the federal government is telling the people of this country that you’re on your own.

But here in Maryland, we’re moving differently.

“…the version of Mr. Trump’s business that he projects…hasn’t existed for a nearly a decade, since the Trumps’ last two major construction projects failed to make money.

…Mr. Trump’s wealth is now built on monetizing the family name…and the office of the presidency.

We are living in a less compassionate and more plutocratic country because some voters believed Trump was going to lower the price of eggs.

I wince every time “God bless” gets invoked in America by those seeking justification for exercising their own power. As if God was an American tribal deity we can trot out to make ourselves feel superior. This is dangerous. God is not mocked.

As we head into a new week, please remember that kindness is more valuable than status. Speak less and listen more. And know that your impact on the world is more than you’ll ever realise, for each of us is a miracle. May your week be joyful. For now, rest well, my friends. 😊

At yesterday’s No Kings Day events across the US, the voices of “the people” were everywhere. One chant I heard was, “Tell me what democracy looks like. THIS is what democracy looks like.”

Some wanted to go to the DC parade. Fine. But we saw greatness in little towns & big cities across this land.
