Speaking of Joy Really? During times like we are going through, how can we speak of joy? Beyond even speaking of it, how can we possibly know joy during a time when many are experiencing a dark night of the soul?

Today is International Survivors of Suicide Loss Day. If you are also a survivor of suicide loss, know you are not alone. I am walking that same path with you. I pray you are being sustained by the presence of others. I pray that you find healing along the way.

Parenting - An Exercise in Learning about Powerlessness If I have learned in the past few years, it is essentially that I am powerless to fix all that I wish I could fix when it comes to all that my dear children have had to deal with in their adult lives.

Scanlon: The Gulf of Mexico was so named over 500 years ago. If we want to update that name to reflect our current culture, maybe we should call it the Sea of Emoluments—you know, the place where we can board the Ship of Fools and navigate from a State of Ignorance to the Confederacy of Dunces…

The DOJ lawyer who made the mistake of answering the court's questions about Abrego-Garcia candidly (eg yes he was mistakenly deported, a fact the Administration already has acknowledged), which got him put on administrative leave, has now been fired, ending his 15-year DOJ career..

I want to tell you why the case of Kilmar Abrego Garcia should matter to you.

The one power you cannot give the executive is the ability to imprison or expel anyone regardless of their legal rights. That is our key check against autocracy. And we are watching it disappear.

Stock market reversal - I don’t know about you, but I feel like I just got flowers with an “I’m sorry” note attached from a chronic abuser. I don’t trust Trump on this. Or anything else. Do you?

We flew from Colorado Springs to Atlanta this morning. My first question when I had WiFi again was, “ How’s Cory Booker doing? Is he still going strong?” He is! Go Cory. Thank you for making good trouble and standing for democracy on the Senate floor.

The fact that the Department of Justice has not, and will never, launch an investigation into this massive national security breach tells you all you need to know about this lawless and profoundly corrupt Administration.

If you think what happened to Rumeysa Ozturk can't happen to you because you're a citizen and she's not, you are sorely mistaken. Ozturk was snatched off the street not for being a national security threat but for having a wrong opinion. If we don't put a stop to this, it's coming for all of us.

Memoir Writing - Is There a Purpose for It? Why should I keep writing this damn memoir that never seems to get done? I’ve been at it for years. Can any of you relate? The answer below is mostly written for me so I’ll keep writing.

Today, on the twenty-third anniversary of my father’s On the twenty-third anniversary of my father’s death, I’ve written a few memories about him and why and how I gain inspiration from him to keep on doing the excavation work of writing memoir.

For those of you who watched the video of an Idaho woman experiencing handmaid‘s tale treatment, now is the time to decide what you would do in that situation—whether it's you or whether you're nearby when this happens to someone else. We are in a moment where we all have to decide who we are.
