It Was A Dark & Stormy Night The Hippie Trail Now & Then, vol. 1.3

49 years ago I experienced such a moment … on a bus in the Alps of Montenegro

Terry Cooke (@terrycooke) This used to be a domain of U.S.-China co-leadership. We’ve now left the entire field after scoring a run of own-goals

Climate change, global extreme weather & public health impacts that follow in their wake.

This was a domain of U.S.-China co-leadership. We (the U.S.) have now quit the field after a stunning run of own-goals. In the world’s eyes, China looks good by comparison.

Judge Blocks Trump Administration Policy Allowing ICE Raids in Certain Places of Worship Religious organizations are challenging a Trump administration policy that allows ICE to conduct operations in sensitive locations. The judge declined to pause the policy more broadly.

Quaker groups lead the way in first-round victory protecting Constitutional principle of religious sanctuary against Trump’s DHS and ICE

There is a road, no simple highway
Between the dawn and the dark of night
And if you go, no one may follow
That path is for your steps alone
