Good morning Aug. 21st. Blessed to be greeted by your sunrise. What do you have in store for humanity today? Perhaps Venus and Mercury’s alignment, visible in the predawn sky, whispering of transformation, connection, empowerment. Seize the day.

Good morning, August 7.
What beauty you bestow.
I stand before you, universe — arms wide open, ready to receive guidance, one honest step at a time.

Before the election, I warned that there is no safe haven under authoritarianism.
If they can ship Kilmar Abrego Garcia to a foreign prison—accused of no crime, with no trial—they can do it to anyone.
Americans of conscience must stand against this now.

What a joke.
The Social Security Administration is cutting 7,000 jobs and closing half of its regional offices. It's no coincidence that Elon Musk called Social Security a "ponzi scheme." They're gutting the program to make room for more billionaire tax cuts. It's time to speak up. - Robert Reich

The US was a founding member of WHO alongside 193 other Member States. For 7+ decades, WHO and the US have saved lives and protected people from health threats. Together, we ended smallpox and brought polio to the brink of eradication. Trump’s tantrum is severing our ties

I needed this cleanse after reading the 2nd full day of the changes occurring and being proposed for America. God help us.
I feel a timeline cleanse is required.
Welcome to the beauty of a Cornish temperate rain forest where the water is sweet and the vibes are profoundly peaceful.

Hello all, I woke up this morning to 8-degrees. Brr! Cold along the coast of southern Maine. Such a juxtaposition to the west coast. I can’t stop thinking about the inferno in California, the devastation, death and all the displaced people. My heart is heavy.

But it's not about us. It's about oligarchs taking over the United States, and joining Russian and China with world domination.

Greenland has large reserves of natural gas and oil, so of course tRump and his oil buddies want the land. Canada has oil and gas, and lots of fresh water. I'm seeing a pattern here...
NATO will respond to defend Denmark/Greenland, thus splitting their resources into fighting the USA and Russia.

In the face of a devastating natural disaster, right-wing media decided to lay the blame on the "diversity" in the LA Fire Department rather than, for example, climate change.
As Los Angeles burns, we're seeing a conflagration of lies and disinformation
Bad-faith actors, including Donald Trump, are blaming the outcome on "diversity" in the fire department and a nonexistent “water declaration resolution."

Nailed it. This has been their plan all along. No one just randomly decides to try to "steal" another country unless there's some kind of money making recourse in it.

On 1/6/21 Republican leaders condemned the rioters who stormed the Capitol to stop Biden’s electoral victory. On 1/6/25 they celebrate the rioters.

Kamala Harris is an extraordinary public servant.
She ran an inspiring campaign and everyone got to see something I respect so much in her – her character.
She gave her whole heart to the effort and she and her entire team should be proud of the campaign they ran.
