Gardening from the Inside-Out
These days, we need every strategy available to stay grounded by cultivating kindness and compassion for ourselves and each other. Deepening the interconnections with self, community, and the natural world can help transcend the current polycrises. My next series of blogs (starting with this one), explores "gardening" from the inside-out and the outside-in, offering a lens through which we can understand our place in the greater web of life.

Quote for the day, from John A. Powell’s book, “The Power of Bridging:” “We cannot know how life will treat us, but the best chance at having an impact is not to control the unknown, but to engage in the possibilities. We are not helpless, especially if we can act and cocreate together.”

I'm calling for an investigation into whether President Trump manipulated the market to benefit his Wall Street donors—all while working people and small businesses paid the price.
Did Trump help insiders cash in on his tariff flip-flopping? It sure looks like corruption.

Follow the money and see where it goes. Nothing like buying our Congress. Musk has made the maximum allowable donation to members of Congress who support impeaching federal judges who are impeding actions taken by Trump.

Trump and Musk are basically trying to deskill America:
1) kill all white-collar jobs and replace them with AI
2) kill universities
3) use tariffs to turn the U.S. into an economic island manufacturing, oil and ag hub
4) empty the cities
5) push men into manual labor & women back into the kitchen

These are bold and wild allegations from the FBI, which is moving to criminalize organizations like Habitat for Humanity for receiving grants from the EPA.
In a court filing, Citibank disclosed that it had been directed by the FBI to freeze the bank accounts of these groups.

Trump issued an executive order invoking a wartime law the Alien Enemies Act of 1798—a little-known law—would allow the government to deport without due process.

The U.S. government spent $710 billion in Trump’s first month, an increase from the same period a year prior. Cost-cutting efforts are ineffective, and job losses are occurring without clear justification.
