"We are not our leaders. We peek out from under their thumbs. The people of earth, sinking under a blanket of pollution & war & greed send flares to each other from across the abyss. We stand on rooftops, huddling in fragile safety from the flood, waving to each other to say, You are not alone." ❤️‍🩹

I probably did not set this up correctly but follow the link. Perhaps we are not as divided as they always tell us.

Achievement Without Wonder Is Just Accumulation 4 steps to building excitement in your life

Achievement without wonder is just accumulation.

You can build the life you thought you wanted and still feel flat inside it.

High performers are trained to optimize outcomes — not savor moments.

That’s the problem.

Might explain why they caved so easily to yam tits.

This is the first of many dominoes to fall. Keep up the pressure.

I don't have Instagram but today I cancelled my Prime membership, my Audible membership, my AppleTV membership, and my Prime Video membership. Will donate the money saved to the resistance. Thanks for leading this project.

Detained by Immigration Agents, 5-Year-Old Liam Has Been Released From Custody

Let’s hope this innocent child — and his dad — recover from the trauma caused by Trump’s racist/fascist goons. And… adorable that his middle name, Conejo, means rabbit.

Senator Schumer! We need ICE defunded!!! You can get them cameras - they won't turn them on!!! You can have them go through de-escalation training, doesn't mean they will pay any attention!!! Take their funding and get them off our streets!!

Senator, as a resident of Canby I have always been proud that you represented Oregon. I can't tell you what it means to have a Senator you can trust. Please, do not vote to continue funding for ICE, please. Look at what they are doing, they have no right to continue.

This ICE invasion in Minnesota is total Bullshit! There are far more immigrants in Texas and Florida but, of course they are red states ...

You're right, but those of us of a certain age said this in April 1970 after Kent State (and Jackson State, which got less attention).
