I Dream a World
…
“A world I dream where black or white,
Whatever race you be,
Will share the bounties of the earth
And every man is free,
Where wretchedness will hang its head
And joy, like a pearl,
Attends the needs of all mankind-
Of such I dream, my world!”

~ Langston Hughes

In the space of 48 hours, the President of the United States has tweeted an image of himself as the new pope, said he doesn’t know if he has to abide by the Constitution, cited multiple completely false statistics, and announced that he wants to reopen a prison closed in 1963.

At a time when moral leadership has been in short supply in the world — when authoritarians and neofascists are pushing us into darkness — Pope Francis pointed toward the light. https://robertreich.substack.com/p/the-conscience-of-the-world

Private security guards charged in Coeur d’Alene town hall dragging City prosecutors have filed criminal charges against six men involved in a chaotic legislative town hall, including the private security guards who dragged a Post Falls woman out of the Coeur d’Alene ...

Remember the Idaho woman dragged out of a town hall? This deserves national attention.

She was charged. She fought back. Now THEY are the ones facing charges.

This is what democracy looks like.
This is what fighting back looks like.

And we’re not done yet.

“How yearns the solitary soul
To melt into the boundless whole,
And find itself again at peace!
The blind desire, the impatient will.
The restless thoughts and plans are still;
We yield ourselves and wake in bliss.”

NSA warned of vulnerabilities in Signal app a month before Houthi strike chat The National Security Agency sent a bulletin in February warning of Russian hackers trying to access encrypted conversations on Signal.

🚨 CBS News has received an internal NSA bulletin from Feb 2025 warning staff NOT to use Signal app for sensitive info, citing vulnerabilities to Russian hackers. These docs were sent pre-Houthi chat scandal with Jeffrey Goldberg.

Just saying: if Lloyd Austin had done this, every GOP lawmaker would call for his resignation by close-of-business the same day, and they'd probably have it.

One of my companies informed me they cancelled a $2m conference in Florida. Why ?

They didn’t feel they could pass on the incremental cost of tariffs. So they are cutting expenses.

That’s a city that lost a ton of tourism revenue.

The cost of tariffs isn’t just the cost of the tariff

“The kinder and the more thoughtful a person is,
the more kindness he can find in other people.
Kindness enriches our life;
with kindness mysterious things become clear,
difficult things become easy,
and dull things become cheerful.”
