I honestly believe our most powerful position in a toxic time that feeds on cynicism, apathy,& despair is to genuinely care and act for a better world. Cynicism is our enemy. We should check it, incl. on the left. It’s not intellectually superior. It’s the virus they’re trying to infect us with. NO

Despite Trump’s knee-jerk decision to blame the New Orleans terrorist attack on an immigrant, the suspect is actually a 42-year-old US Army veteran who was born and raised in Texas. He was apparently radicalized online.
