What #LivingWithLungCancer means to me #WCLC26: The shock and fear catapulted me into being more awake to the Holy Ordinary in every day. Life is all the clearer living in what I now know as Scan Time. I've written a book #BrokenOpen, exploring those awakenings in the wake of cancer. @Jill Feldman

MAGA Religious Leaders Dedicate and Bless 22-Foot Golden Trump Statue at Doral: “But woe to those who manipulate religion and the very name of God for their own military, economic and political gain, dragging that which is sacred into darkness and filth.” open.substack.com/pub/lettersf...

MAGA Religious Leaders Dedicate and Bless 22-Foot Golden Trump Statue at Doral

A 22-foot, gold-leafed Trump effigy at Doral, blessed by Pastor Mark Burns and a circle of evangelical and Jewish clergy. The Catholic Church has a name for what just happened — and a duty to stop it.

the rest of us should indeed. and while we're not sleeping we should be taking to the streets, calling every lawmaker in the land, and demanding that in our good name, that demonic deranged deluded faux leader be ousted swiftly and for good. if this doesn't cross your line, you got no lines!!!

i was a nurse with Dr. Diane DiMaggio a long time ago, and in less-distant years enlisted her as our boys' pediatrician: she's the best, and her frontline witness to the ravages of vaccine-preventable diseases is an imperative read. those with knowledge need to be heard above the din of the madness.

will sit waiting to hear how in the world this is explained. because to a non-lawyer humanist like me this makes utterly no sense, and seems cruel on the face of it. children who are hungry, with cupboards bare, cannot wait for the slow gears of justice to turn in their favor.

"under-babied"???? sounds like a commodity you pull from a shelf. i know the grief of miscarriage, infertility; i never considered myself under-babied. that grief belonged in the realm of the sacred, not a commercial enterprise to be remedied by those who show little regard for the sanctity of life.
