My New Substack drop explores the Rogue Sage,its initiations, and the vow it demands of us now.

Freedom is one fire: inner liberation, social liberty.
Awakening and justice are the same breath.

Yes. Iโ€™ve certainly done more vetting than you.

Your memes are baseless and misleading because they conflate nurse union support with Super PACs and falsely attributes Karl Roveโ€™s PAC as a Sanders supporter.

You should take them down.
Otherwise I donโ€™t engage with troll accounts

Great! I too had a public showdown with the signature collectors to the chagrin of my teens.

For too long, Dem leadership sidelined progressives to appease corporate lobbyists. Bold new candidates are rising- finally channeling the baseโ€™s fire. They need support in retaking the party back. Glad to see Zeteo gaining steam. We need its teeth to call out MSM complicity in authoritarianism.

I think that since the overwhelming majority of mass shooters are cisgender men, we should take their guns first.

Heading into teaching retreat today.
Weโ€™ll sit in silence, track the breath, watch the self try to rebuild itselfโ€”and let it fall quiet again.
Not chasing anything. Just remembering what the body already knows.
Grateful for the chance to listen that deeply, together.
