Why do I have the feeling that this incident is going to be the subject of many legal battles in years to come?
American war planning usually takes place in highly secure facilities. But the Trump administration planned its strikes on the Houthis using a group chat—and accidentally included The Atlantic’s editor in chief, @JeffreyGoldberg. www.theatlantic.com/politics/arc...
The Trump Administration Accidentally Texted Me Its War Plans
U.S. national-security leaders included me in a group chat about upcoming military strikes in Yemen. I didn’t think it could be real. Then the bombs started falling.

It’s not “Breaking News,” in the U.S.

It’s just ✨ breaking ✨at this point.

Hope that helps.

Ash Sarkar is absolutely correct: We can’t call out the awful crimes against humanity on one side while ignoring appalling ongoing humanitarian crisis on the other.
Left: Ash Sarkar, "When you are talking about the permanent resettlement of an entire ethnic group from the place they call home, that's called ethnic cleansing"

Right: Nigel Farage, "A wealthy wonderful thriving place with well paid jobs, casinos, nightlife, it sounds very appealing to me"

I need to find my people. Come hang out if you’re:

✅ an immigrant, LGBTQ, Latine, BIPOC or ally
✅ fight for democracy in the U.S. and everywhere
✅ fight for equity and liberation for ALL people
✅ have empathy and critical thinking
✅ a writer, journalist, artist, or activist
✅ bonus: a silly goose🪿

Hear me out: what if the US becomes a case study on WHAT TO DO to end fascism?

We become a global leader not bc we have the largest military or capitalism the best, but because our people found a way to resist & overcome oppression and fight for collective liberation?

Hope = resistance.

A lesson for us all:

“First They Came” by Pastor Martin Niemöller

“First they came for the Communists
And I did not speak out
Because I was not a Communist
Then they came for the Socialists
And I did not speak out
Because I was not a Socialist 1/3

On a call with my sister we talked about how the saying should be, “no rest for the light workers ✨.”

We may feel weary, but it’s not who we are.”

That said, we MUST rest, because the work goes on. It’s a long game.

☀️ Remember to go outside today.
🌊 Drink your water.
💜 Love each other.

I don’t do toxic positivity.

I’m quite sober about our current reality here in the U.S., but from my work in mindfulness, I know that our energy goes where our attention goes.

We can’t dream up creative solutions to the world’s problems without believing there is #hope to change them.
