Reviewing images from my birdfeeder cam this morning, to take a break from the"news" and ... I never imagined getting to see such an adorable overnight visitor (from a few weeks ago)! It helped me smile today, hoping it does for others, too!

maybe Measles?

Isn't this the truth!!

"Man's capacity for justice makes democracy possible, but man's inclination to injustice makes democracy necessary"
Karl Paul Reinhold Niebuhr (6/21/1892-6/1/71) Professor, Union Theological Seminary in NY. Recipient of the Presidential Medal of Freedom in 1964

"I believe that unarmed truth and unconditional love will have the final word in reality. This is why right temporarily defeated is stronger than evil triumphant"
Dr. M. L. King Jr
Nobel Prize acceptance speech, in Oslo on
12/10/1964

"Observing human behavior confirms that for some among us, the perfidious lust for unbridled power and the imposition of cruelty in it's quest know no bounds and are bereft of human decency. And the rule of law be damned."

It's literally the definition of EVIL

"Those who make peaceful revolution impossible will make violent revolution inevitable"

—John F. Kennedy, 1962

Loathesome, deranged, unimaginably cruel. Seems like the same 💩, different decade. Now there are thousands of shooters and we've all become targets!!! How is this happening???

From 2016: "I could stand in the middle of Fifth Avenue and shoot somebody, and I wouldn't lose any voters, OK?" Trump remarked at a campaign stop at Dordt College in Sioux Center, Iowa. "It's, like, incredible."
(C. Dwyer,NPR)

"Our only hope today lies in our ability to recapture the revolutionary spirit and go out into a sometimes hostile world declaring eternal hostility to poverty, racism, and militarism."
~Rev. M.L.King

Thank you @kaplanikids.bsky.social! 💙💙💙💟

The first time Charlie Chaplin spoke onscreen, he implored the people of the world to resist the rising tide of fascism.

Nearly 90 years later, it remains a timely message.

Senseless 🤦🏻‍♂️

Our sweet girl Pepper (sometimes called Peppy-skedeppy, or PepperoniGirl, and sometimes The Pepster). Look at those eyes !!

"Peace demands the most heroic labor and the most difficult sacrifice. It demands greater heroism than war. It demands greater fidelity to the truth and a much more perfect purity of conscience"

~Thomas Merton

Just war Access a definition of Just War, along with featured reading, discussion questions, and a list of resources on the topic.

Just War Theory: requires that the cause for war is just; the right authority makes the decision; the decision is made with the right intention of bringing about peace; the war is a last resort; the overall evil of the war does not outweigh the good.

The motto of war is: "Let the strong survive; let the weak die." The motto of peace is: "Let the strong help the weak to survive."

* from Franklin D. Roosevelt's address before a Joint Session of the National Congress and the Supreme Court of Brazil at Rio de Janeiro.
November 27, 1936

So very true, & real advice for living our lives (not just staying alive)
