Tyranny requires your fear, your silence, and your compliance. Democracy requires your courage.

Don't let Trump flood your zone. Stay focused. Keep your eye on what this corrupt regime is really doing — looting the government to line their own pockets with massive tax cuts and the ability to steer more federal contracts their way.

Yesterday I played my violin for the detainees in jail in a full Mass with the Bishop and a solo recital afterwards that unexpectedly turned into a singalong! This is what Christmas joy looks and feels like to me 🎄🎻🎄 #restorativejustice

There have been a lot of times where I feel like we need to have honest discussions on the left about what has worked and what hasn’t, share observations without judgement, but it feels like there isn’t much space for it. I think it’s holding us back. I wonder how and where we can accomplish that.
