There's so much angst and despair radiating all around us. This is wholly understandable, but if something's giving you warmth or strength (even just a bit), be sure to uplift that as well. Help others remember that kindness, solidarity, and care are still at work in the world.

Canada has been a great friend and neighbor to America. It’s a wondrous nation—rich in natural beauty and some of the kindest, most talented people anywhere—so when Trump told PM Trudeau to his face, multiple times, that Canada should be America’s “51st state,” it disgraced us. He disgraced America.

We feel what we feel. We need to allow every feeling the dignity of its own existence. Then we can decide if we want to take it to heart or let it go.

I don’t do self checkout if I can go thru a living breathing checker. I chat. I encourage and engage. I smile and say names and ask questions. People are more intelligent that the best self-checkout UI.

Today, #KashPatel sent a letter to my counsel @markzaidesq.bsky.social threatening to sue & demanding I retract my MSNBC comments on his unfitness to serve as FBI Director. This follows his threats against media & political opponents, showing how he might act if confirmed. I stand by my statements.

PAY ATTENTION: When Republican Congressmen like Richard McCormick feel emboldened to openly suggest cutting Social Security, Medicare, and Medicaid, it's time to stand up and be counted. 🚨HANDS OFF our Social Security!

"Only a quarter of the violent revolutions achieved their aims, while more than half of the nonviolent campaigns did. And they found that those using nonviolent means were much more likely to end in democracy, while violent methods were more likely to saddle you with tyranny."

Honor is more than doing the right thing. It is knowing what the right thing to do is, and knowing that some dilemmas are difficult and may have no satisfactory answer. Compassion, equality, and justice are guideposts toward honor. Let them lead you, even imperfectly, toward it.
