It's impossible to keep up with all the craziness that's going on these days. That's why I'm starting a Substack. So you don't have to read and watch everything – just The Schiff Notes. open.substack.com/pub/schiffno...

So good. 👏👏

The co-president says speaking against Putin’s interests is akin to treason. So I guess that’s where we are now.

I wholeheartedly agree 💯

Only in America could a Ketamine-infused South African oligarch call a navy captain, astronaut and sitting US senator "a traitor" for supporting our allies and standing up to Russia...

Good morning nasty bitches,aliens, wannabees, and resistors everywhere

I'd like to bring this video to your attention. www.youtube.com/watch?v=hyco... It's doing pretty significant numbers for what it is, so while I understand sharing it won't make a difference for those knee-deep in the cult of personality, I'd say it has a better-than-average chance of resonating.

Senator Chris Murphy took to the Senate floor on Friday to break down the corruption flowing from the WH. He connects the dots, and makes a clear argument regarding who what where and why Shitler and Muskrat are destroying our govt!! This needs to be shared far and wide!! youtu.be/hycoCYenXls

O divine Master, grant that I may not so much seek to be consoled as to console, to be understood as to understand, to be loved as to love. For it is in giving that we receive, it is in pardoning that we are pardoned, and it is in dying that we are born to eternal life. Amen.

Peace Prayer of Saint Francis  Lord, make me an instrument of your peace: where there is hatred, let me sow love; where there is injury, pardon; where there is doubt, faith; where there is despair, hope; where there is darkness, light; where there is sadness, joy. 1/2

I come into the peace of wild things who do not tax their lives with forethought of grief. I come into the presence of still water. And I feel above me the day-blind stars waiting for their light. For a time I rest in the grace of the world, and am free.

𝗧𝗵𝗲 𝗣𝗲𝗮𝗰𝗲 𝗼𝗳 𝗪𝗶𝗹𝗱 𝗧𝗵𝗶𝗻𝗴𝘀 by Wendell Berry When despair for the world grows in me and I wake in the middle of the night at the least sound in fear of what my life and my children's lives may be, I go and lie down where the wood drake rests in his beauty on the water, and the great heron feeds. 1/2

For as long as space remains, For as long as sentient beings remain, Until then may I too remain To dispel the miseries of the world.”

Whatever diseases there are in the world, May they never occur again. May the frightened cease to be afraid And those bound be freed; May the powerless find power, And may people think of benefiting each other.

May the poor find wealth, Those weak with sorrow find joy; May the forlorn find hope Constant happiness, and prosperity May there be timely rains And bountiful harvests; May all medicines be effective And wholesome prayers bear fruit. May all who are sick and ill Quickly be freed from their ailments

May no one be afraid or belittled, With a mind weighed down by depression. May the blind see forms And the deaf hear sounds, May those whose bodies are worn with toil Be restored on finding repose. May the naked find clothing, The hungry find food; May the thirsty find water And delicious drinks.

His Holiness Dalai Lama’s Daily Prayer Excerpt from Shantideva’s Way of the Bodhisattva “May all beings everywhere Plagued by sufferings of body and mind Obtain an ocean of happiness and joy By virtue of my merits. May no living creature suffer, Commit evil, or ever fall ill. 1/6

Trump pardoned them. Donnie released them.

A message from Maine. Janet Mills is a bad ass

If our founding fathers were alive today, they'd roll over in their graves. May we never confuse honest dissent with disloyal subversion. Only Americans can hurt America. The libraries of America are and must ever remain the home of free and inquiring minds Dwight D. Eisenhower

The only way to win World War III is to prevent it. Should any political party attempt to abolish social security unemployment insurance and eliminate labor laws and farm programs you would not hear of that party again in our political history. Dwight D. Eisenhower

If a political party does not have its foundation in the determination to advance a cause that is right and that is moral, then it is not a political party; it is merely a conspiracy to seize power. The supreme quality of leadership is integrity. Dwight D. Eisenhower

The first method for estimating the intelligence of a ruler is to look at the men he has around him. A sign of intelligence is an awareness of one's own ignorance. One who deceives will always find those who allow themselves to be deceived. Niccolo Machiavelli

Our greatest freedom is the freedom to choose our attitude. What is to give light must endure burning. An abnormal reaction to an abnormal situation is normal behavior. There are two races of men in this world...the race of the decent man and the race of the indecent man. Viktor E. Frankl

Eventually we realize that not knowing what to do is just as real and just as useful as knowing what to do. Not knowing stops us from taking false directions. Not knowing what to do, we start to pay real attention. If you think you know where you are, you stop looking. David Whyte

Crisis precedes transformation. The great human problem of evil stems from the illusion of separateness. Whenever this illusion is overcome, we behave lovingly to one another. I actually think every person can make a difference. Barbara Marx Hubbard

You can't test courage cautiously. The dedicated life is worth living. You must give with your whole heart. Caring passionately about something isn't against nature, and it isn't against human nature. It's what we're here to do. Are you living just a little and calling that life? Annie Dillard

Where there is no hope, we must invent it. Democracy is not the law of the majority but the protection of the minority. The welfare of the people in particular has always been the alibi of tyrants. It is the job of thinking people not to be on the side of the executioners. Albert Camus

Alexis de Tocqueville: It is easier for the world to accept a simple lie than a complex truth. A democratic government is the only one in which those who vote for a tax can escape the obligation to pay it. everybody feels the evil, but no one has courage or energy enough to seek the cure

What evil does first in the world, maybe, is distract us from our pursuit of goodness. What I regret most in my life are failures of kindness. The best thing we can bring to any fight is a calm and compassionate mind. The big moral crossroads in your life may not come labeled as such.George Saunders

"You don't need to do everything. Do what calls your heart; effective action comes from love. It is unstoppable, and it is enough. The future is not out there in front of us, but inside us. The sorrow, grief, and rage you feel is a measure of your humanity and your evolutionary maturity. Joanna Macy

"The lust for power is not rooted in strength but in weakness. Selfish persons are incapable of loving others, but they are not capable of loving themselves either. Hate is a product of the unfulfilled life. Not he who has much is rich, but he who gives much." Erich Fromm

"No man is defeated unless he is discouraged. It is not what happens in our life that is important, it’s how we react to what happens. When you say that something is impossible, you have made it impossible. In the middle of chaos lies opportunity. Bruce Lee
