My parents raised me not to tolerate racism, sexism, heterosexism, antisemitism, jingoism, classism, ageism, ableism... (and the list goes on). Call it morals, ethics, values, or just plain basic decency. Maybe call it a belief in fundamental human rights and an abiding commitment to love over hate.

The 400 richest Americans are now worth a record $6.6 trillion.

The entire bottom 50% of America is worth just $4.2 trillion.

Read that back.

When 400 people control more wealth than half a countryโ€™s population, we have a very serious problem.

Good morning.

People arenโ€™t as dumb as Trump thinks.

They know heโ€™s busy doing ego stroking world tours and building his ballroom. Everything but trying to end the shutdown.

He could open the government tomorrow if he put in any energy at all.

The shutdown is fun for Trump because he gets to throw lavish Gatsby-themed parties for his millionaire friends AND invent new and innovative ways to hurt poor people.

Rejoice in the Lord, O you just; for praise is fitting for loyal hearts.
Sing to him a new song.

#MorningPrayer
Lord, when we face
a decision or a dilemma,
help us to rely not only
on our own perspectives,
on the pressures from our peers,
or on the norms of our culture;
help us instead to listen
for your guidance and wisdom,
that we may be led by you
in the way of your love.

I can't watch any interview with Donald Trump anymore. It doesn't matter if you contradict him with facts. He will never acknowledge he is lying and his sycophants won't acknowledge it either.

Two people playing a keyboard at Powell Street BART

Two people playing a keyboard at Powell Street BART

I was running early to an event so I got off BART a stop early at Powell Street for an extra walk.

Instead I sat and listened to a wonderful pianist play for 20 minutes. At one point another person came up and asked if they could play together, and they did.

I love music on transit โค๏ธ๐ŸŽถ

Today, Mike Johnson will keep the House adjourned for the 91st day out of the last 103.

12 days of work in 103 days.

With full pay and benefits.

The senate has been working, so this is not about the shutdown.

It is about avoiding a vote to release the Epstein files.
