So lucky for us the Native People of North America didn’t have a bigoted Supreme Court in the pockets of a billionaire oligarchy.

I hate myself for loving David Brooks, but Robert Reichs is spot on with his assessment here. Well worth reading.

Gee. Didn’t the government kill off buffalo to starve the Indigenous people awhile back? Seems as if old habits die hard. SNAP out of it, already! We don’t pay taxes for the rich to starve the poor, sick and elderly here.

Today, The Beautiful Mess has reached 100,000 free subscribers!!! There are no words to accurately reflect how incredibly grateful I am that so many of you have chosen to be a part of this community since we launched 18 months ago.

Just pondering on the “make America great” theme: How does reopening an horrific prison with a terrible reputation in order to essentially disappear kidnapped people without due process make America great? Asking for a relatively rational citizen… of any country.

Please read the following 3 posts bottom to top, as I had to split them. Sorry for the verbosity, but am sick of Trump painting his questionable win as s mandate at the expense of the world referring to his horrific behaviors as “The Americans”. Let’s own the right side of history on this

That’s an important note for the history books when they look back on what is happening today. We need to emphasize “I’m an American, but it wasn’t me,” and stand strong accordingly, no matter what it costs us.

That said, I have been encouraging those of us in the at least 48.3% who wish to stand our ground and preserve this democracy to speak up when anyone credits “the American people” with voting for or mandating Trump, as less than half of us did. TBC.

Help me with a solution: “the American people” didn’t want this. 49.8% of the 63.9% of eligible US voters wanted him because they were either hopelessly misinformed (lied to) or self-serving partners of Corporate America, the only benefactors of the Trumpian State. TBC.

Here’s my fervent wish that we make our own Positive Project 2025: Consider those in need; care for those who are sick; don’t mock nor disdain the disabled; don’t enrich the wealthy at the expense of the poor; put kindness & empathy above cruelty & meanness; let others live as they choose. Be good.

Blessings to all, whatever you are feeling, celebrating, hoping for; whomever you are missing for whatever reason. I’ve seen more mournful messages than joyful this season, & yet, stores are packed with shoppers, holiday events are sold out, colorful light displays are abundant. What is missing?

Marjorie Taylor Greene threatens republicans with what seems to be existing ethics reports of republicans who have sexually assaulted and paid off victims. I keep saying, we know most of what Matt Gaetz did, but not those that don’t want their info shared. — 👇🏼

True spirituality transcends dogma, rituals, or labels …at the core of every belief system, the universal essence is compassion, kindness & love… [lead]ing with an open heart can be the most meaningful spiritual practice of all.🌿✨the greatest connection we can nurture is empathy & understanding.

Wishing the world a Peaceful and Bountiful Saturday or Sunday, whichever it is for you today. ♥️
