Signs of Spring! Potted up last Fall and set into the greenhouse this Winter, I moved them out to enjoy this warm weather. The honey bees were thrilled—food! 🌸🌸🌸 #springflowers #gardening

Someone, who used to know better, told me today that it’s patriotic to support the president even if you don’t always agree. This is the excuse being used by many to explain their acquiescence. Actually, this is what a patriot is: www.nytimes.com/2025/02/02/u...

Senator Andy Kim just went to the USAID building, talked to the security guard there to confirm employees are being barred entry, and then did a press gaggle right there in front to call it out. This is doing something. This is making an effort on messaging. Other Democratic lawmakers: take notes.

I’m enjoying Winter, don’t get me wrong, but I’ll be delighted to see these beauties again when Spring rolls around. From my garden last year. Roses are my favorite. 🥰 (pics by yours truly) #roses #gardening #regenerativegardening #bloomscrolling #soil #flowersforfriday #gardeningfeed

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

Empathy is the capacity to choose compassion. It is normal. We call a person without empathy a sociopath. #empathy #realchristianity

I’m done calling anyone a Christian who says empathy is a sin. Christianist—that’s the term I’m using. Because there is nothing Christ-like about this nonsense. And certainly nothing Christian in mocking the compassion of Christ. #sinofempathy #unchristian

This is Merlin. He thought you could use a smile this evening. He smiles a lot. And barks a lot. And has a lot of opinions. But, then again, so do I. Have a lot of opinions—I rarely bark. (Those who know me well: just hush 🤫) #corgis #dogmom

Today, Pres. Trump gave a sweeping legal reprieve to nearly 1,600 defendants who attacked the US Capitol on January 6, 2021, including those convicted of violent crimes & seditious conspiracy. More than 150 police officers were assaulted during that attack. Some eventually died.

A number of the J6 prisoners who Trump pardoned or commuted on Monday had been given terrorism enhancements when sentenced. So, Trump is literally letting terrorists free. Remember that.

we knew Democrats might be caught on their back feet, but when Senate minority leader issues anodyne declarations so utterly inapt in the current climate, it’s time to look for a single charismatic voice, one well-versed in law and unafraid to trim her sails contrarian.substack.com/p/harris-was...

Challenges along life’s journey that feel almost insurmountable can become fond memories with the passage of time. I built this kitchen 17 years ago armed with Inspiration (Habersham), Determination (stubborn bullheadedness), and Fortitude (a new jointer, bandsaw & drill press)! 😁 #Kitchen #remodel

New on MSNBC: Vice President Harris will fly back to Los Angeles today with an all-female U.S. Air Force crew — the first time an all-female crew has operated a C-33. Upon landing, Harris will visit a local fire station and then distribute food to community members impacted by the wildfires.

"Injustice anywhere is a threat to justice everywhere. We are caught in an inescapable network of mutuality, tied in a single garment of destiny. Whatever affects one directly, affects all indirectly."

Where there is empire; may we dismantle it with the prophetic power of beloved community. Where there is hate; may we sow love that kindness and compassion may emerge. 1/2

If we are to have any chance of bringing the vision of beloved community into reality, we must transform the collective fear that we are currently experiencing into a collective energy for love, freedom, and justice.

I have been following this for years, and it is a very serious situation. This is one of the reasons why we don’t simply call what is happening “global warming,” but rather a climate crisis that can very easily become climate chaos. oceanographicmagazine.com/news/amoc-at...
