If you're having a hard time, be extra kind and loving to yourself. Breathe. Notice something positive, even if it's small. Each day of our lives is precious, even when we're in pain, each day counts.

Federal Judge Jeffrey Cummings has found that ICE agents violated the terms of a consent decree by detaining people without proper warrants. He ruled that as of this week ICE must wear body cams at all times and can face arrest and contempt proceedings if they conduct unlawful, warrantless arrests.

Trump is a failing authoritarian whose approval ratings are tanking.

Like any bully, when he feels humiliated, he lashes out.

But what he doesn’t realize is that his authoritarianism and his bullying are waking up America’s great sleeping giant. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gXHPCL12QIg

Today - notice yourself and be kind to yourself. Stop and breathe. Walk. Listen to music that speaks to your soul. Hug - person, pet, or pillow. Find something that sparks a feeling of gratitude, even if it's small.

“Compassion is not a relationship between the healer and the wounded. It’s a relationship between equals. Only when we know our own darkness well can we be present with the darkness of others.”

Much heartbreaking news. But our despair is what tyrants want.

Knowledge of the good stuff fuels hope, persistence. Peaceful persistence is the key, even though the road is inevitably bumpy.
