It’s the “season of love and giving”…but this year, doesn’t it seem more like a “season of fear and taking”? Like many of you, I’ve been saddened by the human impact of draconian government budget cuts and how angry many housed Americans are at unhoused Americans.

The idea that everyone has intrinsic rights to life and liberty was a radical break with millennia of human history. It’s the moral foundation of America, Elaine Pagels writes—and it’s worth preserving.

It's a fool's errand to try to figure out why each individual shooter did what they did; it centers one erratic, unwell individual (which is impossible to solve) rather than the structural problems (which are possible to solve). And the structural problem is this: guns. I explain more here:
Guns at Annunciation
I was baptized at the church where kids were murdered. It's a canary in the coal mine for a dystopian America, where people blame everything but the real cause: a country awash with unlimited guns.

Do you feel safer now that the Trump admin is removing landscapers? What purpose does this serve?
There is some vague MAGA notion that native Americans will rush in and take these jobs but also we need to keep the minimum wage down and limit access to health insurance

Help! I don't know what I'm looking at here. We planted 3 spicebushes (landera benzoin) this spring and one now has several branch tips that have turned black and folded over. It's very hot here, upper 90's, but this is only happening on one of the shrubs. Does anyone know what this is? #TheOutpost

20-year-old U.S. citizen Adrian Andrew Martinez was swarmed by ICE in Pico Rivera while defending someone. He never hit back—just struggled—before being slammed into a CBP van. No records. No lawyer. His mom can’t find him. This is abuse of power. Keep recording. Don’t stop.

My grandmother was a young pregnant Jewish woman alone on a train in Poland during WWII when a German soldier told her to get off at the next stop because there wouldn't be any soldiers waiting at the station. She survived because, in that moment, a soldier chose the right thing over obeying orders.
