Ooops! Ooopsie! Did we do that? We didn't mean to do that. Definitely don't blame us for doing that.

Oops! Day one funding freeze
Oops! Ebola
Oops! Nuclear security workers
Oops! Bird flu
Oops! PEPFAR
Oops! HHS firings

And on and on and on...

Now this.

How cute is this little furry love?!!

In this season of spring, we’re reminded that renewal and hope are always within reach.

May we all find strength in the wisdom of nature’s beauty, especially in tulips that signal new beginnings.

Give yourself permission to pause.

In a world that glorifies hustle, rest is an act of defiance. Our rest fuels our revolution–nurturing creativity, imagination, resilience, and strength from within.

My thoughts on the Russian-American talks on Ukraine, without Ukraine. The simplest interpretation of the available facts is that the Americans are using Russian violence to try to exploit Ukraine.

Powerful thinkers like bell hooks ( All About Love) and adrienne maree brown (Emergent Strategy) have framed love as a force for collective liberation.

We can hold change makers on our heart altars today and thank them for their service to the movements that work to bring peace rooted in love.

Watch what they DO, not what they SAY:

"EVs are bad."
-- Orders $400 million EV fleet

"Vaccines are bad."
-- They and their kids are all vaccinated.

"We're cutting waste and fraud."
-- Billions for their rich friends in tax cuts & subsidies.

It’s #CervicalCancer awareness month!

The #HPV vaccine is highly effective.

It can prevent 9 in 10 cases of the most high-risk strains of human papillomavirus (HPV) – the #1 cause of cervical cancer.

Today is winter solstice in the N. hemisphere.

In the life-cycle of the year, it is the time just before birth, the great darkness from which everything is formed.

It is ALL possibility, pregnant with infinite promise. What are your solstice dreams?

We asked journalists around the world who have endured attacks on press freedom what advice they would give their American colleagues. We have collected their wise and remarkable responses in a special issue of @niemanreports.org. “Dear America,” they wrote.

This should go without saying, but it's okay if someone you don't agree with goes on a certain show or podcast. It's okay to be exposed to dissenting opinions. It's okay to feel uncomfortable. The biggest danger for the Democratic Party moving forward is the imposition of ideological purity tests.

If you’re surprised, you haven’t been paying attention.
During the campaign, Donald Trump swore he had “nothing to do with” Project 2025. Now, as president-elect, Trump has filled his administration with people who have ties to the right-wing policy blueprint that would overhaul the federal government. nyti.ms/3BhAxxA
