Thank you for helping me learn how to handle the nonsense that shows up in the media.

I feel so encouraged and motivated when I see these everyday people from across the States making the effort to make signs, taking the time to stand up and not afraid to speak out. Thank you Robert for energizing us 🙏🏻🤗

This is a troubling article with scenarios for ways trump can try to use the House to mess with the midterms. Not a fan of the author but curious what others think.

I love the pictures of resistance you post. It is so uplifting to see our fellow Dems lighting up their neighborhoods!

Here is some information on what I'm calling the Trump/Tate network.

Here's a link with an interview based on The New Yorker article about the Tate brothers: https://www.newyorker.com/podcast/political-scene/the-abuse-that-fuelled-andrew-tates-media-empire

We absolutely need and require a working DOJ and an honest AG for many, many reasons, but primarily because Trump and his family -- including Barron Trump -- are connected to the Tate brothers through crypto. This is apparently a network, very much like Epstein's, that is operating worldwide NOW. Please see The New Yorker article about the Tate brothers. It is the most disturbing thing I've ever read. The Tate brothers' currency is rape, choking, and assault and battery against women, and they are selling this "bro" criminal behavior as a philosophy: how to control/enslave women and how to get rich using crypto. This is the kind of thing we (and the media) need to break wide open. A functioning DOJ and honest AG's could do this. A functioning Congress could do this. The Trump regime is more than complicit. They welcome and abet these pariahs and criminals. It's a crime fest in OUR WHITE HOUSE! OUR HOUSE.

Solace in our time:

Anchor of Love

The world is loud with alarms.

Headlines arrive before dawn,

carrying fresh reasons to worry,

new names for old fears,

new storms gathering beyond the horizon.

It is tempting to believe

that only grand gestures matter,

that healing belongs to leaders,

heroes,

or those with larger voices.

Yet every day

someone steadies another soul

without ever appearing in the news.

A hand rests on a shoulder.

A meal is shared.

A patient listener

creates a small island of safety

in a sea of uncertainty.

Love sits beside a hospital bed.

It remembers birthdays.

It checks on a neighbor.

It speaks gently

when anger would be easier.

The earth is held together

by countless unnoticed acts

that ask for no reward.

Perhaps our task is not

to conquer the darkness

but to keep a light burning

where we stand.

To become a harbor

when others are adrift.

To remain rooted

when fear pulls at every branch.

The frightened child,

the grieving friend,

the stranger carrying invisible burdens,

all may find direction

from a single steady presence.

We do not always see

how far kindness travels.

Its path extends beyond sight,

moving from heart to heart,

crossing distances we cannot measure.

In troubled times,

love is not a retreat from the world.

It is the way we help

the world endure.

We enjoyed the inspiring documentary, LIghtworkers that included Robert Hubbell as one of many voices. The documentary was mentioned yesterday in the newsletter. Watched on utube for $4.99 without commercials. https://www.lightworkersdoc.com

Do you have any clarifying information on Ceuta and the recent surge to Spain? Was this a retaliatory push against Spain as well as an opportunistic amplification against open borders? I heard a comment about Europe and it's immigration mess being used to support Miller/DHS and our CBP/ ICE terror.
