This is moving.
Kamala Harris feels the pain we feel. Not just from her loss, but from the trauma and abuse our country is living through.
What could have been…
We’ll never know what could have been, but we do know they chose to believe him and not her, and now they are making up excuses for their votes that put us all in harm’s way.
Don’t think this is a one-off.

Read this. And read it again. How can ANYONE disagree?

It takes nothing from society to let people be themselves. Literally nothing.
But it sure takes a lot to deprive people of that ability.
Not been well this week & have been thinking about my value as a disabled (autism+ADHD+PMDD) human & been comparing myself to others (never good). When I feel low I make miniature posies. I’ve been mocked for them before but they lift my mood-I hope this one lifts yours. Maybe a small life is ok…
I’m not crying you are. 😭😭😭😭
Love these two.
Ocean Vuong's sweeping new novel centers on a depressed 19-year-old college dropout who becomes the caregiver to a widow with dementia.

Trump isn’t gonna like this.
Love!!!!!❤️
Only way to do it if you love your kid.
Spontaneous applause breaks out when a man as brave, beloved, and deeply respected as Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy arrives.
As for Trump — silence.
And this variety of silence is not golden.
Erik Moeller @eloquence@social.coop I find Trump as repulsive as most people here, but as a German, one thing I want to push back on is focusing only on one man. Hitler's rise was possible because he was able to exploit the racial hatred and conspiratorial thinking that already existed. It's MAGA acolytes that see Trump as an extraordinary figure. He was a reality show grifter with a crumbling business; Hitler was an undisciplined drifter with delusions of grandeur. It's the soil that matters, not just the rotten harvest.
I’ve been saying this for months: Trump is just the mirror. It’s the people around us who are even worse. Who votes for a convicted felon? A rapist? Not someone duped — someone without a moral compass.
Sleeping In The Forest I thought the earth remembered me, she took me back so tenderly, arranging her dark skirts, her pockets full of lichens and seeds. I slept as never before, a stone on the riverbed, nothing between me and the white fire of the stars but my thoughts, and they floated light as moths among the branches of the perfect trees. All night I heard the small kingdoms breathing around me, the insects, and the birds who do their work in the darkness. All night I rose and fell, as if in water, grappling with a luminous doom. By morning I had vanished at least a dozen times into something better. – Mary Oliver
Earth Day Poetry 1: I can think of no poet who more seamlessly connected a reflective inner life with the beautiful world around us than Mary Oliver.
This poem, Sleeping in the Woods, describes the experience of sleeping alone in the forest as one of tender, rapturous intimacy with the earth.
Fear has a way of being contagious.
But courage is also contagious.
I care deeply about who Michigan will elect as Governor and send to the U.S. Senate next year, but I have decided against competing in either race.
I wrote more here about my decision and how I view the work required of us all in this moment:
Today, the House GOP censured me for speaking out for the American people against @POTUS’s plan to cut Medicaid. I accept the consequences of my actions, but I refuse to stay silent in the face of injustice. #WeShallOvercome x.com/repalgreen/s...
This is Winston Churchill visiting Washington DC to request assistance in the war against Germany. Notice he is wearing a "zip suit" and not a traditional suit. This was to honor the British troops--the same reason Zelensky dresses the way he does.

And to think we could have had a sane, serious government run by an intelligent person who would have acted in the best interests of Americans, and not Vladimir Putin.
Pass it on.
