Cruelty is clearly a feature of the T admin. 😡
As Robert Reich wrote this past week:
"...political parties do not lead. The anti-war movement and the Civil Rights Movement...depended on a mass mobilization of all of us who accepted the responsibilities of being American. We will prevail because...we are the leaders we’ve been waiting for."
TEXT: My oath is to the Constitution of our state and of our country. We don’t have kings in America – and I don’t intend to bend the knee to one. I am not speaking up in service to my ambitions — but in deference to my obligations.
There have never been kings in America. The monarchy doesn't start now.
A picture inside the Omaha venue in which hundreds are seen standing and listening to Bernie Sanders. Many have their phones in the air recording it and it is a generally young crowd.
In the depths of the Nebraskan winter, 2400 people came out to listen to Bernie Sanders in Omaha last night.
800 had to be turned away at the door. Over 190,000 tuned into the livestream.
There is a movement to be harnessed here.

The article is dated but heartening. "People are blowing up the phone lines of senators and members of Congress—not hyper left-wing activists, normal Democratic voters have been angrily demanding that they fight harder. They’re hearing that, and they are starting to adjust to it."
I JUST got it! Elon wants to BE the govt service provider. After firing the federal workforce, he will offer to provide the same services thru employees and AI at firms he or his friends own. Govt wont shrink, but the federal payroll will while Elon and friends, Tech bros esp., get richer.
THIS is leadership AND respect for public servants!
Yup. This late adopter of airbnb is likely going back to vrbo!
Are our moral obligations a series of concentric circles, starting with our own people and moving outward and diluting with each successive circle? Or are we compelled to love equally across differences and borders?
The importance of USAID from the most recent administrator of it. youtu.be/OIHJub72vuM?...

Grand Haven this past wknd. A very different Lake MI than we are used to.
"America needs more lovers of the totality of humanity, more people whose compassion has no borders and whose love has no walls."
"Short days make exercise harder, and excuses easier, so if you don’t keep a dog, give yourself a Thought-Dog. Real dog or Thought-Dog, take it for a walk and ponder on what matters to you. Walking and thinking are sympathetic activities – the brain gets a kick from being outside."
BIG fan of #3. Regularly attend mtgs of your city, township or county council or board. Meet the elected leaders and use the public comment. Be seen, listen, learn, and be heard.
Important words from one of the wisest and most faithfilled people i've ever had the pleasure to meet.
The Trump administration, moving quickly to clamp down on health and science agencies, has canceled a string of scientific meetings and instructed federal health officials to refrain from all public communications.
