It’s not just hypocrisy, it’s cruelty as Indigenous people are targeted and detained by Trump's immigration enforcement agents every day. buff.ly/8iTfrZq

I am grieving the barbarism that is going to unfurl from all this. People are going to die. Livelihoods gone. All to feed a corrupt kleptocracy.

I see every day up close how different it is from the first time around. There are no guardrails. A disaster. I’m sorry we have to live through this.

We need peace. #WarIsNotTheAnswer

Amazing how the anti-war “America First” crowd vanishes when their guy starts dropping the bombs.

A top staffer to Sen. Tina Smith emailed Sen. Mike Lee’s top staffers on Monday about “how much additional pain you’ve caused on an unspeakably horrific weekend”

Love Your Neighbor Is a Call to Action Jesus said we will know his true followers by their fruit.

"Some...who are stirring hostility against people of other countries or faiths claim to be doing so in the name of 'Judeo-Christian Values.' Let’s be clear: shared Jewish–Christian values (shared with other faiths...) are of empathy with the stranger, not hatred of them."

Hello. I live in Los Angeles. The president is lying.

Let us be clear: civilians seeking safety and freedom are not an "invasion," and military responses are not the solution.

Our communities deserve dignity and respect, not fear and force.

Four photos of wildflowers. Bees and dragonflies are sitting on the flowers.

I love growing #native #wildflowers because of all the visitors I get to see. These photos were all taken within 3 minutes of each other!

Opinion | Selfishness Is Not a Virtue

From @nytimes.com : Selfishness is not a virtue.

"The fact that a sitting United States senator was that callous — and then tried to twist her cruelty into a bizarro version of the Christian gospel ... It exemplified the contortions of American Christianity in the Trump era."

The recent antisemitic attack in Boulder is disgraceful and unacceptable. We must all condemn it in the strongest terms and wish a rapid recovery to those injured.

Violence only begets violence, and we must allow no place for it in our politics.

“I don’t know if it’s something Americans can understand,” said Henning Müller, 41, who lives here with his wife, Milena Fernando, 40, and their two young children. “Here in Germany, we have this nice life. And at the same time, this dark history is part of your everyday.”

Lasting peace would be the greatest war memorial.

There it is, in a nutshell.

Poem by Adrienne Rich in black and white text. Text reads: What kind of times are these There's a place between two stands of trees where the grass grows uphill and the old revolutionary road breaks off into shadows near a meeting-house abandoned by the persecuted who disappeared into those shadows. I've walked there picking mushrooms at the edge of dread, but don't be fooled this isn't a Russian poem, this is not somewhere else but here, our country moving closer to its own truth and dread, its own ways of making people disappear. I won't tell you where the place is, the dark mesh of the woods meeting the unmarked strip of light— ghost-ridden crossroads, leafmold paradise: I know already who wants to buy it, sell it, make it disappear. And I won't tell you where it is, so why do I tell you anything? Because you still listen, because in times like these to have you listen at all, it's necessary to talk about trees.

This poem gave me goosebumps the first time I read it. #nationalpoetrymonth #poetry

Though I'm not Catholic, I always found Pope Francis' humility and grace inspiring. May his reasonable approach to grace and agape love continue well beyond his passing. #popefrancis #lovethyneighbornoexceptions
