I swear, I feel like I have fallen down the rabbit hole into an insane world. Maybe I would feel better if I re-read _Alice in Wonderland_ again. Or not. #haslegislativebranchcededallauthoritytoexecutive

I say don’t get distracted by 47’s jabber about Gaza Strip resort possibilities. Deflection nonsense as congress reps barred from entering institutions they are responsible for funding. Keep calling Capitol Hill folks. #neverthelessshepersisted

Sen Bryan Schatz’s stand today shows that finally, someone in Congress put on their big kid britches and DID something to slow down this mad king stuff.

I realize this is kind of small potatoes right now, but below is a link to a congressional resolution condemning Bp. Mariann Budde for her sermon. Yep. It’s real. I will be calling my Rep tomorrow to express opposition-I encourage you to do likewise. www.congress.gov/bill/119th-c...

Go to the library. Check out books on politics & constitutional rights. Read the Constitution & amendments. Take your kids to library. Learn how to resist better & more quickly. Time is not on our side.

Anyone else scurrying around, checking staples to see if they come from Canada, Mexico, or China? In what universe do folks think 47’s tariffs WON’T affect everyday folks’ wallets? #trumptax

How did I spend part of my day? Making phone calls to my senators, congressman, & to WH switchboard to protest 47’s freeze on funds that make a difference to lives of everyday folks. Push back. Protest. Not the time to be silent. Lives depend on our actions now. #neverthelesssgepersisted

Wondering what the late Rabbi Ed Friedman & his Family Systems would say about US politics today. What system would have allowed a convicted oligarch to return to the WH? Ponder. Discuss. Then figure out our parts in changing this dysfunctional system. #generationtogeneration

People are asking how to get my letters without using Facebook. They are here, for free. I also record a podcast of me (not AI) reading them that is available by separate email at Substack (also free) and is on all the usual platforms as well. heathercoxrichardson.substack.com/p/january-6-...

“If you’re not growing, be it externally or internally, you’re dying.” Gino Wickman in TRACTION. Leaders of churches, this means your church as well as a business. I suspect more churches are dying, but won’t deal w/this reality. Do we believe in resurrection after death? Do not fear.

Gratitude practices: 1. Start Small: Each day, write down three things you are grateful for, no matter how simple. . . 2. Reframe Challenges: Instead of asking, "Why me?" consider, "What is this teaching me?" Pain can be a profound teacher if we let it. #3 & #4 follow Photo: Mine

According to available data, abt 1 in 5 US adults read below a 3rd grade level. 54% read below 6th grade level. And new administration wants to gut Dept of Ed??? Few local newspapers. Info by scrolling fave sources. This is why 11/05/24 happened as it did. Pay attention, boys & girls. #seedonaldrule
