America’s 250th birthday should be a mindful, not a mindless celebration.

I was a cheerleader in the seventh grade, and one chant keeps coming to mind...

There’s no going forward without admitting where we are.

Rosie O’Donnell on what happens when a leader sells his soul.

May we be a fraction as brave as they.

Cunning fellow.

Praying for someone’s happiness releases potential for breakthroughs that are otherwise blocked.

July 4th should be a reminder.

To meet the challenges of this moment, we need to reactivate our moral imagination.

How it actually went down.

Nature organizes brilliantly what the mind alone cannot figure out.

The only thing stronger than a politics of hate is a politics of love. Join the book club at MarianneWilliamson.Substack.com

History rhymes.

Lincoln's winning edge was his moral conviction. It can be ours too. www.transformarticles.com/p/what-linco...

Something very beautiful happens to people when their world's fallen apart: a humility, a nobility, a higher intelligence emerges at just the point when our knees hit the floor. Watch the full video from my Substack LIVE: www.transformarticles.com/p/live-with-...

At a time of great distress, don’t be a cynic; be a problem-solver. Cynicism is just an excuse of not helping. It takes a lot more courage to choose hope.

At a time when some of our leaders are kneecapped and others are complicit, We the People have to take it from here. www.transformarticles.com/p/after-the-...

On forgiveness and fury in the Age of Trump

FDR said we “wouldn’t have to worry about a fascist takeover as long as democracy delivers on its promises.” We’re where we are because democracy hasn’t done that…

There will come a day when people will tear down that ballroom, the way people in Germany tore down that wall. And we will take sledgehammers to the secret surveillance state apparatus lurking in the bunker beneath. None of this, none of this, none of this will ultimately stand…

The astronauts have added some light and peace to the world at a time when we’ve really needed it. Praying for their safe and easy reentry.

This is a period of America’s deconstruction, but it can also be a period of profound re-creation. It’s up to each of us. www.transformarticles.com/p/americas-d...

From my newest Substack “The Sheer Insanity of it All.” Read it at www.transformarticles.com/p/the-sheer-....

People are being deported to countries in which they have no ties. They have no money, no connections, and are now separated from families and friends. In many cases, they’re landing in countries known for human rights abuses and they will be sitting ducks for the worst kinds of exploitations.

No Kings. No Dictators. No Fascists. Not on our watch…

We need to start from new foundation: love for children, care for the earth, and waging peace.

There are internal tools for navigating chaos, and boy do we need them now. Where we put our consciousness is as important as where we put our external efforts.

We do not need THE SAVE ACT to protect US elections from fraud. When asked to give on piece of evidence that such fraud exists, Speaker Johnson responded "We're not going to litigate that now." 1/

This catastrophe did not come out of nowhere, and it didn’t even originate with Donald Trump.

Beyond corruption. This is a partnership between government and corporate power that’s basically a fascist model. www.nytimes.com/2026/03/13/u...

How did we go from Gloria Steinem, Shirley Chisholm and what seemed like such a promise of new possibilities for women, to Donald Trump in the White House and a Phase 2 Project 2025 intent on rolling back whatever gains women have made?

Trump says he decided to go to war after talking to Jared, Steve, Pete and Marco. Notice there isn’t one military commander on that list. 1/

One of the reasons this story (and others like it) is so infuriating is not only because these people followed all the rules, but also because they were seeking asylum due to the Mexican drug cartels. The cartels were basically created by the US War on Drugs!

Russia is reportedly helping Iran know where to attack US forces, but we won’t help Zelenskyy attack Russia.

Talarico in the Senate will be a game changer for this country. Thrilled at the thought.

This not just about a "culture of disembodiment" or women as "objects of consumption." Hell, no. This is about girls (and boys?) as victims of violence. We need to stop minimizing in any way, shape or form, the violence that was perpetrated on the youth caught up in the Epstein web of horror.

Buckle up and pray hard

Democracy is bigger than America, and it has to survive and thrive in the world regardless of the hit it’s taking here at home. www.transformarticles.com/p/oh-canada

The average American is probably unaware what it means that we're at war with Iran. It could be short and devastating, or prolonged and devastating with consequences beyond what any of us can imagine. www.transformarticles.com/p/were-at-wa...

Can someone who doesn’t care that he’s a con man explain to me why you don’t care that he’s a con man?
