Let's not lose this in the impeachment fervor
BREAKING: A senate report found that The “National Russian Assets” (NRA) gave Russian officials access to U.S. officials in exchange for Russian business. The Russian ruble is worth more to them than our lives. 100 people will die of gun violence today. npr.org/2019/09/27/764879242…

Every single major Republican in the country is calling our gun crisis a “mental health” crisis while AT THE SAME TIME suing to remove mental health coverage from the Affordable Care Act. That’s how you know they’re lying.

At the end of the day, our desire for social contact & connection is what fuels us. It’s what creates meaning. In the digital world and IRL. ow.ly/yKmZ50usWkI by @hayleyhobson

The moment that judgment stops through acceptance of what is, you are free of the mind. You have made room for love, for joy, for peace.

“America isn’t full. In fact, the problem facing many, many communities is that they’re emptying, with devastating consequences for the residents left behind. Immigration is the most powerful tool we have to help those communities.” — @ezraklein bit.ly/2GbmKJR

Make it a habit to ask yourself: What's going on inside me at this moment? That question will point you in the right direction. But don't analyze, just watch.

BREAKING: Illinois just passed a law that recognizes all reproductive health care, including abortion, as a fundamental right. Abortion rights are under attack like never before. Thank you to the Illinois legislature for boldly leading the way in protecting access to abortion.

Please support our trans youngsters in every way you can. It is a torturous journey for them no matter what they do
Trans kids commit suicide at overwhelming rates precisely because of bullying horseshit like this. Of fucking course no one should be shamed for basic self care.
Great news for trans boys and girls
BREAKING: The Supreme Court will not disturb school policies in Boyertown, Pennsylvania that support trans students. Our client Aidan was accepted as the boy he is — this should be every student’s experience. This is a victory for trans students and educators nationwide.

Mueller directly contradicts Barr’s representation that DOJ rules were NOT the reason the Special Counsel decided to forego a prosecution of @realDonaldTrump.

Six trillion dollars have been spent on the so-called war on terror. That is an unbelievable amount of money. Do we really need to spend more than the next ten nations combined on the military, when our infrastructure is collapsing and young people can't afford to go to college?

May it be so
The young people of this 21st century represent our planet now. They have the ability to bring about change. Even as climate change increases in intensity, they can work together in the spirit of brotherhood and sisterhood to find and share solutions. They are our real hope.

The American people also need to see, concretely, just what Russia is STILL doing to attack our country — with Trump doing NOTHING to protect voting systems, digital platforms, or the power grid. Cambridge Analytica and Brad Parscale haven’t gone away. We’re sitting ducks.

Read and RT. Ignorance of the law is not if the FBI warned you that Russians might try to compromise you and you do not report contact to help your father's campaign and you do not report it. Plus, why didn't he know foreign help is 100% prohibited?

Definitely not easy but working on it.
Do not resist the pain. Allow it to be there. Surrender to the grief, despair, fear, loneliness, or whatever form the suffering takes. Witness it without labeling it mentally. Embrace it. Then see how the miracle of surrender transmutes deep suffering into deep peace.

The Mueller report makes clear that the worst impulses of @realDonaldTrump were thwarted by those around him who refused to act on his malign orders. All of them are gone. So who is there to stop him now?

No smoking gun? To the contrary, Volume II is a smoking artillery range. It depicts 11 cases of clear obstruction of justice, establishes criminal intent, and recommends that Congress act on the voluminous evidence to “uphold the principle that no person is above the law.”

This.
I’m not ashamed to say I suffer. I’m not ashamed to say I’m mentally ill. I’m not ashamed to say I deal with dark thoughts sometimes I’m not ashamed to say I need help sometimes & I’m certainly not ashamed to talk about it Let’s stop the stigma behind #MentalHealth 💚

Virtually every Dem presidential has taken @realDonaldTrump on over his exploitative Tweet aimed at @IlhanMN but none quite so powerfully as @PeteButtigieg, partly because he wrote it from the perspective of veteran of the war 9/11 spawned.
After 9/11 we all said we were changed. That we were stronger and more united. That’s what “never forget” was about. Now, a president uses that dark day to incite his base against a member of Congress, as if for sport. As if we learned nothing that day about the workings of hate.
