I am really frustrated that the press is discussing the destruction of USAID as something that has happened rather than an illegal action that will likely be undone in two weeks when courts tell the world that it was illegal.

A reminder of beauty today as I sit in the @aclu.org Townhall. We will work together, we will rest, we will fight and we will win. So much love to those already in it, and for those who aren’t, consider this your invitation ❤️

Imagine saying this about an agency that has helped millions of people around the world avoid malaria, obtain clean water, and gain access to food & health care. Especially when you’re the world’s richest man & your net worth is something like 20 times this agency’s annual budget. What a foul soul.

In dark times, be a light. In times of unknown danger, be a place of safety and knowledge. May we be sanctuaries for our communities when needed, and may we find sanctuaries within our communities when we need them.

Spent 3hrs in the studio on Saturday, paired with some really magical music making on Sunday. It gave my mind a bit of rest and my soul a bit of reframing. The world continues to be magical.

The "he's not gonna listen to her" reactions are missing many points. Lots of other people are also hearing it. Lots of people can see him hearing it, then weigh what she's said with what he'll do. Lots of people can see her refusal to surrender these ancient teachings to the latest face of empire
Rev. Mariann Edgar Budde to Trump: "I ask you to have mercy upon the people in our country who are scared now. There are gay, lesbian, and transgender people in Democratic, Republican, and independent families, some who fear for their lives ... and the vast majority of immigrants are not criminals"

As someone who has gone through a top secret security clearance process TWICE, it is wild to me we would consider cabinet members without clearing background checks.
