Flag Day / No Kings celebration today. A highlight was when the huge crowd hushed for a Langston Hughes' poem: "Let America be the dream the dreamers dreamed— Let it be that great strong land of love Where never kings connive nor tyrants scheme That any man be crushed by one above." #nokings

If your city is destroyed in a hurricane this year, the United States will be too poor to help you rebuild. But if your city is trying to rebuild a democracy with peaceful protests, we have MILLIONS to deploy men with weapons to destroy you.

Mexico’s economy minister Marcelo Ebrard says, “It makes no sense for the United States to levy a tariff on a product in which you have a surplus.” Most of Trump's policies fall into the category of "It makes no sense to _____." www.theguardian.com/us-news/2025...

A good economy doesn’t exploit resources; it values them. We’ve been taught that growth means more extraction, more harm. But what if growth meant healing? What if our economy was built to restore forests, to clean the oceans, to bring peace and feed the hungry?

Now is a good time to think about empathy. Who do you consider "worthy" of your empathy? (Who's your neighbor?) How will you act on your empathy? (How much will you risk to help your neighbor?) If the loss of empathy is barbarism, we need to cultivate empathy, and sow it.

What drives me crazy about the anti-DEI rhetoric is everyone wants to be judged on merit. But you can't be judged on merit if you can't even get in the door because you don't fit some prejudiced definition of who is capable and who isn't

USAID has proven to be an easy political target and yet the nature of its work is inherently apolitical. Malaria and HIV programs, infectious disease surveillance, maternal health initiatives, all proven to save scores of lives. We may not feel the impact of its closure, but our children will.

US ideology is to coddle women? Ask families of women dying from lack of healthcare due to Magazi abortion bans. Ask us about equal pay. Ask about GOP plans to take away our vote. Compare US maternal mortality to other countries. Don't get me started on white men being our only hope. Good gawd.

10/4/24 X post from Darren J. Beattie, new undersecretary of state for public diplomacy. "Competent white men must be in charge if you want things to work. Unfortunately, our entire national ideology is predicated on coddling the feelings of women and minorities, and demoralizing competent white men."
