After a $1 TRILLION cut to Medicaid just got passed by this Congress and this administration…. We SHOULD be crying.
And fighting.

That’s $1,000,000,000,000.

(It did seem emptier than Samuel Alito’s heart, so there’s that…)

How do I know our pond is a happy place for turtles, fish, and other critters?
Look at the little newborn we found today, who already was VERY sassy.

People ask me if I pray for the current occupant of the White House.

On this day in American History, the celebrated writer Langston Hughes was born in 1902. A leader of the incredible Harlem Renaissance whose words still inspire.

I read this poem every year before the beginning of the school year as a teacher.

Happy birthday to Mrs. Rosa Parks, born this day in 1913.

Her words give me life. Her example gives me encouragement.

We give thanks for the prophets

And I mean to be one too!

1/2 (Sung to I Sing a Song of the Saints of God)

I sing a song of the Way of Love/
& those who proclaim God’s Word/
They preach mercy & love in a gentle voice/
That even the tyrants heard/
You can find them proclaiming the gospel each hour/
Standing for the oppressed, bringing hope to new flower/
