Individually and collectively, we have become fixated on the pursuit and accumulation of wealth. But what is wealth? Our singular focus on financial capital obscures a fundamental truth: money is merely a marker for real wealth, all of which originates in nature.

If our Christianity causes kids to go hungry, the sick to go without healthcare, the stranger to be unwelcome, and the elderly on social security they paid into to be called a “parasite,” all while billionaires get richer, we’ve profoundly misunderstood the most basic elements of Jesus’ teachings.

This is quite significant in many ways: the overt thuggery, Trump’s barely suppressed fury at being contradicted by a woman, the governor’s standing up, the total abandonment of the pretense of federalism, the continuing use of trans Americans the way Hitler used Jews.

I really wish climate science was as “woke” as its critics say. The truth is that climate change is a lot more like this administration: doesn’t care what you believe, can’t be reasoned with, hits the weak and vulnerable first, and wreaks havoc domestically and internationally with every passing day

A former Trump adviser just claimed on #Newsnight that the US pays 70% of the NATO budget. This is completely untrue - the actual figure is 15.8%. The BBC really needs to up its game on challenging such "alternative facts". www.reuters.com/fact-check/u...

It’s a coup. It’s a strategic alliance with Putin. It’s the end of the post-war international order. It’s the triumph of lies over truth and in Putin’s case, evil over good. We are through the looking glass & we all now have to decide who we are & what we stand for
