"In the course of history, there comes a time when humanity is called to shift to a new level of consciousness, to reach a higher moral ground. A time when we have to shed our fear and give hope to each other. That time is now."

– Wangari Maathai, 2004 Nobel Peace Prize winner

“We are watching one of the wildest things a nation-state has ever done,” journalist Garrett Graff wrote: “A superpower is [dying by] suicide because the [Republican] Congress is too cowardly to stand up to the Mad King. This is one of the wildest moments in all of geopolitics ever.”

Perfect! Thank you.

Hahaha! It took me a minute, too.

Post from Amanda Gorman’s Instagram that says amandascgorman Minneapolis, Minnesota For Renee Nicole Good Killed by ICE. on January 7, 2026 by Amanda Gorman They say she is no more, That there her absence roars, Blood-blown like a rose. Iced wheels flinched & froze. Now, bare riot of candles, Dark fury of flowers, Pure howling of hymns. If for us she arose, Somewhere, in the pitched deep of our grief, Crouches our power, The howl where we begin, Straining upon the edge of the crooked crater Of the worst of what we've been. Change is only possible, & all the greater, When the labour & bitter anger of our neighbors Is moved by the love * better angels of our nature.

Amanda Gorman wrote this poem for Renee Good and that’s it for me tonight.

My husband just said, “who the hell is this guy and why is he wearing potato sacks for pants?”

Graphic with a blue background and large white text reading “DEAR AMERICAN FRIENDS.” Below is a screenshot of a post explaining that Canada does not have CBS, that a “60 Minutes” episode aired normally in Canada, and stating that Canadian networks are not subject to U.S. government interference. The post ends with “We’re not under a dictatorship. You are.”

This message hits hard.

Hah!

Good work, Bennie!

And Tommy Rall

But crows are smart.

Thank you, Mike.

I’m in Roanoke at the weekly protest against Congressman Ben Cline. There were 100 people when it started at noon—and more have shown up since.

The world joined us and said, “No Kings.”

So sorry.

One of my sisters worked at Quaker Oats when they were developing Cap'n Crunch. She would bring home samples-which we all thought vile. Still do. Of course, my choice is peanut butter and onion, so there you go.

One of my sisters was friends with a guy who was in seminary. He would bring a bunch of his friends from school over to our house- one would sit down at the piano and pound out the Vatican Rag. So fun!
