I am not sure who they are. The woman is Phyllis Schlafley (my spell check wanted to change ti to schlemiel which I would have spit it out if I was drinking milk) but I can't figure out who the guy is....

A new report shows that Trumpโ€™s tariff taxes have cost the average Wisconsinite in my district $1,960.

If you live in Wisconsin...call Gov Evers today and ask him to veto this bill that labels peace activists TERROISTS!

A person holds a white sign with brown lettering that reads โ€œLOVE THY NEIGHBOR (ALL of THEM!)โ€ at an outdoor gathering. Additional smaller text appears in the upper right corner of the sign.

The First Precept teaches non-harm. ICEโ€™s violenceโ€”9 shootings, lives lostโ€”violates ahimsa. May we defund agencies that terrorize communities. Text SIGN PBKLZC to 50409 resist.bot/petitions/PB... #EngagedBuddhism #DefundICE

Like ethical people would have a positive opinion if ICE agents were all buff with blonde hair and blue eyes?

The book is called not turning away the practice of engaged buddhism. It has stories of people engaged in the practice of engaged Buddhism.

I appreciate learning the good sources you share on about Engaged Buddhism and have subscribed to this Substack. I am learning about ways to create those rituals to establish a practice to apply EB towards suffering I experience. I am reading Not Turning Away published by Shambala Press?

Join resistbot and let your senators know that we need to project our communities with the increasing catastrophic weather. We must ask Congress to stop the dismantling of NCAR.

I think it's dishonest to say that Trump is touting his accomplishments when it's all made up. How about the Trump is touting his lies.

Truth. There also is winning in a capitalistic society when masses of people are scammed such as banks being seen as monoliths but how did they achieve that wealth?

So often we consume our food quickly and without regard for how much work and effort went into creating our food. Especially when people who labor are not compensated well and don't have options for healthcare.
