“Usually if you pray from the heart, you get an answer—the phone rings or the mail comes, and light gets in through the cracks, so you can see the next right thing to do.” ~ANNE LAMOTT

Something to ponder as you head out to vote today, for free. In the Library's Rosa Parks Papers collection, there's a receipt for the poll tax she had to pay to vote in Alabama in 1956. Poll taxes, a Jim Crow-era voter suppression tool, were not abolished federally until 1964.

"[Jesus] knew that the old eye-for-an-eye philosophy would leave everyone blind. He did not seek to overcome evil with evil. He overcame evil with good. Although crucified by hate, he responded with [forceful] love." —Martin Luther King Jr. tinyurl.com/mjfp2uc8

Can’t decide between two: Goodbye Cruel World I’m off to Join the Circus and Time to Say Goodbye

"Loving is not always easy, but like with muscles, we get stronger both with repetition and as the burden gets heavier. And it works." Go deeper into this love with the book "Love Is the Way" by Michael Curry in today's meditation. #DailyMeditations tinyurl.com/mjfp2uc8

Mueller, She Wrote It's completely mind-boggling to me that anyone is still watching CNN. I've seen people talking about them today, so they still are. Why? They've been trash for two years, and they accomplished their goal of electing Trump. So why are Dems still giving them an audience?

"In the light of eternity, we’re here for a very short time, really. We’re here for one thing, ultimately: to learn how to love, because God is love. Love is our origin, love is our ground, and love is our destiny." —James Finley #DailyMeditations tinyurl.com/mjfp2uc8

Just joined Bluesky. @farrellbergeron.bsky.social Hope a lot of people I follow will post their bluesky names here so we can find them. When I’ve found enough of them, I’ll happily cut the cord here.

Since President Biden and Vice President Harris took office, American entrepreneurs have filed over 20 million new business applications. That’s the most in any single Presidential term in history.

Any issues I had with Gavin Newsom are over. He's actually fighting. He's actually doing what we've asked Chuck Schumer /Hakeem Jeffries and others do. From today forward, I fully support Gavin Newsom and Governor Newsom Press Office and I hope he continues to fight LIKE THIS and DOES NOT STOP.

Donald Trump just went on a disgusting unhinged rant against Kaitlan Collins and not one White House reporter stood up or defended this gross personal attack on her --- and then go back to CNN and Kasie Hunt Hunt just goes back to her interview. Says NOTHING. This is why Trump wins.

Now we learn the billionaire owner of a bridge that will compete w/the new Canada-MI bridge met with Lutnick right before Trump issued his threat to shut down the new bridge. The Trump admin is a lawless mafia gangster extortion racket existing to enrich oligarchs at our expense.
