How surely gravity’s law,
strong as an ocean current,
takes hold of the smallest thing
and pulls it toward the heart of the world.

~ Rainer Maria Rilke, from How surely gravity’s law

Trump’s power depends on maintaining the illusion that he’s all-powerful, and that Americans adore him.

But that illusion is harder to maintain if millions of people are in the streets protesting.

This is why Republicans are trying to discredit No Kings Day rallies before they've even happened.

"Whosoever saves a single life, saves an entire universe."

Let’s not forget that every single Republican who stands by and enables Donald Trump could stop this recklessness today, tomorrow or any damn day of the week. Their failure—their refusal—to do so makes them complicit in his crimes and the crimes of his corrupt, lawless regime.

If "states' rights" mean anything, they must include the right to not get invaded by another state in peacetime.

Americans everywhere: Speak up and stand against Trump's outrageous assaults on Illinois and Oregon.

Listening into the Silence Eco-feminist writer and philosopher Susan Griffin talks about meditation, creativity, environmentalism, and her writing.

One of the more recent interviews with my dear friend #SusanGriffin about her work. As you can see, we shared a deep interest in and love for the power and necessity of #Listening. Susan passed away a week ago. I already miss her so much. tricycle.org/magazine/sus...

I can't wait to impeach him already, 3rd time's the charm!

800 detainees are missing after being held in Alligator Alcatraz in July, showing no record of their location in ICE’s database.

Other detainees have been mistakenly deported or sent to detention centers thousands of miles away.

The cruelty is the point.

"Last time I went after them, they gave me $16 Million Dollars. This one sounds even more lucrative.”

Bowing down to a bully never works.

And we can’t become numb to this corruption in plain sight.
