This thoughtful post says so much. Radical optimism will be the thing that saves us. "The stubborn, rigorous work of believing in our better Angels, then proving it."

This guy's a great follow, especially if you find yourself wallowing in the daily torment from the white house. There is still hope.

I've seen worlds succumb to the whisper: "Why bother?" That radical nihilism is a poison. It paves the way for strongmen.

My mission is radical optimism. Not naivety. The stubborn, rigorous work of believing in our better angels, then proving it.

Was Trump blaming Biden & FBI for Jan.6 when he was still President paranoid narcissistic mental decline? Nothing can be his fault so he lies & finds scapegoats. I'm 1st term leaks indicated he knew the truth.

Now: He's innocent so must be the convicted J6'ers, so he pardoned them all!

Proof, again, that "Truth Social" is a fraud. Trump was in office Jan. 6.

🧵 Many of you never knew of a prison riot that took place in Vietnam. It involved incarcerated U.S. soldiers, most of whom were Black.

☕ An Image of the Week

Dear Officers:

You are not witnessing “insurrection”.

You are confronting law-abiding fellow citizens. To please the self-claimed king.

Are you proud of the mission?

The situation is evolving. The earlier Judge Susan Illston's hold was overturned by the Supreme Court while the case awaits trial. Now Trump & Russ Vought (OMB) are trying to fire another 4,000+ . The same judge set a hearing for 10/15 to consider a new temporary restraining order.

1/ The distance between Trump's image of America & reality is huge. Portland: "Every time I look at that place it's burning down. There's fires all over the place .... When a store owner... rebuilds a store, they build it out of plywood... because they know it’s going to be ripped down." #ProudBlue

Trump says Portland 'almost an insurrection'

President Donald Trump on Friday again mentioned Portland during a news conference, describing the situation in the city as "almost an insurrection."

Good morning, friends! I have no plans for the “fall,” we will win. Autumn, I plan enjoy the changing season and do things I enjoy with people I love. I am a resister and will continue to organize and attend protests in my town. I will not wave the white flag.

Sometimes the river speaks louder than words. 🌊 It reminds us of what we’ve lost— & what we must protect.

In Kasese, Uganda, the floods have scarred the land and our hearts. But from that pain, new purpose is rising — to restore, to plant, to care. 🌿

When I could share some things I've endured with others (only when feeling safe & strong enough) I soon learned I wasn't alone, not by a mile.

Shining a light to help another towards healing helps bring you more healing. We aren't alone.

This has nothing to do with Kilmar Abrego Garcia and everything to do with the Convicted Felon Donald Trump regime being embarrassed that they made a mistake trying to deport him in the first place.

Trump officials not giving up on deporting Abrego Garcia to African nations despite resistance

The Trump administration is pushing again to deport a Maryland man who was mistakenly deported to El Salvador.

Good morning, friends! Life's magic occurs in unscripted moments and in unexpected gestures of kindness. Beauty reveals itself unannounced, but only to those with an open heart, ready to receive it. Don’t wait for perfection. The extraordinary is happening right now.
