I for one am starting to celebrate TACO Tuesdays.

It’s a crazy world when Rand Paul is the voice of reason in the GOP.

One of my majors in undergrad (1989) was criminal justice. The second week of class we covered Habeus Corpus/due process/Miranda. So I often forget that not everyone knows about this.

Somehow when the head of the Dept of Ed, a billionaire wrestling executive known for destroying her wrestlers health and livelihoods starts talking about student debt not being a “victimless crime,” after gutting the department, I can’t seem to see her point. www.wsj.com/opinion/acco...

I am not Catholic but woke to the somber news of the Pope’s passing. He was a voice of compassion and hope in a world consumed by anger and cruelty.

Hmmm Alito and Thomas again erring on the side of autocracy and oligarchy. They aren’t even trying to hide it anymore.

I teach Leadership, Ethics and Social Impact, and Supply Chain Management at a University with many international students on student visas. This is not a good time right now.

If we degrade respect for due process for the least of us, our constitution and Bill of Rights is meaningless for all of us.

People often want vaccines to be the cause of autism, because if it’s genetic they will have to look in the mirror.

In the gap between stimulus and response is the story we tell ourselves. Anger and resentment are the stories we tell ourselves when we fear an imagined future. Sometimes we are truly in danger, but most times fear is the mindkiller…

I used my crystal ball last week and said “I bet Trump is going to put tariffs on all automobile imports. We should buy a second car before he does that because prices will go up on all cars, new and used.” We bought a used Subaru yesterday. Trump announced tariffs on all imported automobiles today

The sequels to The Great Gatsby are really The Grapes of Wrath, Catch-22, and Slaughterhouse-5. Dress accordingly.

Every GOP legislator with an MBA needs to give it back. You didn’t learn simple economics or supply chain. Obvious legacy degrees, definitely NOT MERIT!!!! (It hurt to write like that)

Wall Street Journal saying the quiet part out loud. www.wsj.com/economy/cons...

Be the best you you can be today. Even if the bar is low, reach for it.

Presence opens the Gifts of Life - grace, joy, love, and gratitude. Are you here? Are you really here?

Grace is what we give ourselves in the present to remove the weight of the past and fear for our future.

If you enjoy mail-in ballots in Washington State, not having to take time off of work to drive/bus/train/walk (depending how remote the voting site is to your district) to some random location and wait in line at a voting booth, please comment here on HB 1584 which proposes removing mail-in ballots.

Take a moment and breathe. This is a marathon not a sprint. We need to go the full 8 rounds. It’s only the first inning. How many sports analogies can I string together?

If you are over 40 years old, a veteran, or have a disability you were protected by DEI initiatives and laws.

We distributed these materials in English and Spanish across our community this weekend and invite you to share these reminders widely. Print it out and keep it in your wallet or on your fridge for reference and safe keeping. We are in this together. (3/3)

You do NOT have to speak to ICE without a JUDICIAL warrant. If they attempt to enter your home or your workplace, ask for a warrant. Sometimes they will try to use other, non qualifying paperwork. They need a warrant. (2/3)

SHARE WIDELY. KNOW YOUR RIGHTS. With mass deportations starting today across the country, it is vitally important - for both citizens and non-citizens - to know your rights. You have the right to remain silent. Assert it. You have the right to a lawyer. Ask for one. (1/3)

It’s often hardest to see the humanity in people who hate you. But you can empathize with their humanity while you enforce your boundaries. You have the right to belong in a free society.

It’s Thanksgiving week in the US, and the last week of November. This year flew by, didn’t it?

There are so many things wrong with this. www.wsj.com/tech/musk-un...

One of things that my autistic, literal brain didn’t understand is that when people say “freedom and justice for all” they don’t mean everyone.

I had completely forgotten that I had a bluesky account. I'm back now. :)
