This was a gift I received this holiday season.
And wow, I didn’t realize how much I needed this for strategies and encouragement to fight back against this wicked regime in the U.S. Includes historical research into parallels and resistance in Nazi Germany.

We did a lot more hiking in the woods this year, both near and far. Good for the mind, body, and overall appreciation of nature.

This is your periodic reminder there are still good people in the world (needed now more than ever). Please read the entire thread.

It’s the “season of love and giving”…but this year, doesn’t it seem more like a “season of fear and taking”? Like many of you, I’ve been saddened by the human impact of draconian government budget cuts and how angry many housed Americans are at unhoused Americans.

Yes to this. We left our church because of the silence and found a church that talks about what loving your neighbors means.
If your house of worship is silent about the cruelty and the attacks on your neighbors by ICE, you’re at the wrong church, mosque, synagogue, temple, or gurdwara.

Watching a Christmas Carol with Patrick Stewart is one of our must-do holiday traditions.
Scrooge’s words about “decreasing the surplus population” ring particularly true this year and seems to be a goal from those in power.

The news is filled with evil deeds by evil people. When we get discouraged, we remember there are so many GOOD people working and volunteering to help others. We won’t let the evil people steal our JOY. We choose to mitigate their evil by helping.

Yesterday was the FIRST day of political good news in a year. Excellent work, fellow Virginians!

One data point for those keeping track - over 100 people served at food pantry ministry in 3 hours today. They can only use the pantry once a month. High number? Yes.

The government has been shut down for almost a week.
Where’s the House of Representatives? Out of session, because they’re too afraid Democrats will call up a vote to release the Epstein Files.
