Oligarchs buying elections with million dollar giveaways. Hopefully people in Wisconsin won’t allow the South African to purchase a seat on your Supreme Court just like he bought the US federal government.

Any psychologist or psychiatrist (or former abused spouse) will tell you that President Zelensky gave a master class today on how to deal with a malignant narcissist. He is an amazing man. We can all learn from him.

REPORTER: Is it your view of your authority that you have the power to call up any of the people seated at this table and issue orders that they're bound to follow. TRUMP: Oh yeah. They'll follow the orders. Yes, they will. REPORTER: No exceptions? TRUMP: Of course no exceptions.

The ranks of federal employee unions are swelling as they attempt to shield their members from a barrage of executive orders from President Trump, who with billionaire advisor Elon Musk, has launched an unprecedented assault on the federal workforce aimed at reducing its size and weeding out "disloyal" civil servants.

The American Federation of Government Employees, the largest federal employee union, grew to a record size of 319,233 active members after adding more than 14,000 in the past five weeks. That's nearly as many as the union added in the previous 12 months, according to union spokesman Tim Kauffman.

Colonization told you:

	•	Indigenous knowledge is “primitive.”
	•	Western technology is “progress.”
Reality check:
	•	Polynesians navigated the Pacific before Europe figured out longitude.
	•	Africans designed fractal-based municipalities before Europe had sidewalks.
	•	Indigenous engineers built flood-proof cities while Europe drowned in its own waste.
Decolonization means resetting the lie of Western “progress.”

The MAGA movement shows what happens when democracy is NOT based in mindfulness. To resist, we must root democracy in better, more mindful civic habits. To that end I’ve created a mindfulness survival kit; I hope it brings you peace, and points toward a different democracy than the one that failed.

U.S. voters elected a felon and prevented further prosecutions of him for his many crimes. Heaven help us all.
A tweet by Karen Piper (@PiperK) reads: "There it is. Trump would have been convicted of 'conspiracy to defraud the United States' and 'conspiracy to deprive citizens of voting rights' if he had not been elected to be president. The U.S. is in totally uncharted territory." Below the tweet is an excerpt from a document that discusses the Department's view that the Constitution prohibits the indictment and prosecution of a sitting President, regardless of the gravity of the crimes charged, and indicates that sufficient evidence existed to obtain a conviction at trial.

One of the most important things we need to be focusing on in this crazy mixed-up time is to cultivate our own inner strengths. it's not selfish, it's not just "nice to do." It's essential, and the impact it has on those around you is huge.
