There was a strange noise coming from the other room. I hesitantly opened the door and peeked inside, feeling both imminently brave and uncertain of what I would find. It was my cat, snoring. Stand down, everyone. ~ Molly, ed.

We shall overcome—don't fall into Trump's Project '25 trap—he wants conflict he can magnify and lie about and bring down the hammer over. Peaceful resistance, good trouble, a fierce love for one another and our hard-won liberties!

"Look up" they say. Looking up this morning I saw a yellow butterfly, a robin, a forest of trees, & felt centered in the present. But then I nearly stepped on a frog because I didn't see the poor little dude. I'm officially conflicted & will be looking down the rest of the day for frogs. ~ Molly, Ed

"There's a reason you separate military and the police. One fights the enemies of the state, the other serves and protects the people. When the military becomes both, then the enemies of the state tend to become the people." ~ William Adama

The moves align with a conservative playbook to reduce faculty power on campuses perceived by many on the right as bastions of liberal thought. This year, several other Republican-led states passed laws...

“The good news, from a Buddhist point of view, is we don’t actually have to be hateful. We don’t have to be prejudiced. We can dissolve our hate, born of ignorance—by bringing in sunshine, education, empathy, and heart connection.” ~ Waylon Lewis

Today I saw a pigeon cross the road. No, really. I did. I've been trying all day to think of a good joke about it, but I just keep thinking about that brave little pigeon taking its own sweet time to walk in front of the car, and the decent human being who stopped and waited patiently. ~ Molly, Ed.

I live in Boulder, which just suffered a hate crime from a mad man. A survivor of the Holocaust was among those grieviously harmed. We are not a headline, nor front page news. We are a community. Our care extends to what is being done to our country, too. We are strong in our love.

Last night, I repotted an aloe plant that needed a new, larger pot. Its roots were bound, and my fingers needed to touch dirt. Win-win. What's your latest act of self-care? ~ Molly, Ed.

Rand Paul: "I talk to the Farm Bureau which is opposed to tariffs, I talk to the bourbon industry which is opposed to tariffs, I talk to the people building houses... I have no organized business interest in Kentucky for tariffs. Republicans used to be for lowering taxes. Tariffs are a tax."

As they say in Zen Buddhism, if you don't have time to meditate, then meditate twice as long.⁠ ⁠ But really: even a few minutes a day can and will relax your neurosis, wake up your habits, and dissolve your stress. ⁠
