Of course advance information on US combat operations is classified. Pretending otherwise is an insult to our troops, who all know this.

The Secretary is unfit to lead.

Educate yourself.

When a question about a certain topic pops up, google it. Watch movies and documentaries. When something sparks your interest, read about it.

Read, read, read.

Study, learn, and stimulate your brain.

Don't just rely on the school system; educate your beautiful mind.

You don't need more time, you need fewer distractions.

You don't need motivation, you need self-control.

You don't need more resources, you need resourcefulness.

You don't need luck, you need preparation.

You don't need to be busy, you need to be focused.

You don't need to know everything, you just need to start.

You have everything you need.

The Loneliness No One Talks About

No one warns you about the loneliness that comes with growing.

The silence when old friendships stop fitting, but new ones haven’t formed.

The ache of outgrowing places, conversations, even versions of yourself.

Growth is beautiful, but it can also be isolating.

Keep growing anyway. You’ll find your kindred spirits.

I’m going to say something that shouldn’t be controversial but will be. If you are a Christian, you can support border control and immigration being legal vs illegal. You CANNOT celebrate deportations and get off on the cruelty, and be a real Christ follower. Period

Trump tariffed every country, even penguins, but not Russia.

He said it’s because he’s negotiating the wars end. But he DID tariff Ukraine.

Hmmm

Pope Francis lifted the world as he led the Church with his profound moral voice. As he returns to God, may his call to humility and concern for the least among us continue to resound.

How carefully, would you read that book. That's life.

Don't leave anything for later.

Later, the coffee gets cold.

Later, you lose interest.

Later, the day turns into night.

Later, people grow up.

Later, people grow old.

Later, life goes by.

Later, you regret not doing something... when you had the chance.

There’s a term in psychology called habituation: the way we stop noticing things we see often. A painting on the wall. A familiar view. Even a person’s kindness.

The brain filters the predictable to save energy. But in doing so, it risks filtering out what makes life feel full.

Not everything that becomes familiar should be forgotten.

Sometimes, attention is an act of love.

The head of our country’s government is in the early stages of consolidating total power. We must of course reject this, but that is not enough. We have to respond by creating a different and better kind of American politics than we have seen before.

This is a really useful essay that demonstrates what happens when politicians decide to start a culture war aimed at creating a sanitized, hermetically sealed education system that offers students a limited, but politically approved, understanding of reality. I wonder how stupid they think the parents and students not to mention teachers are that by taking out the chapters on gender and sexuality in the AP course, those students, parents and educators will not be aware that there are people who…

Haven't you heard? DeSanitization of AP History will soon erase the Holocaust and all will be well - again.

Kimberlee Avery Wilkins's avatar

I'm sure that deathsantis will make a law stating that the holocaust wasn't a place where they killed 6 million jews but a place where they placed jews where they could best serve the Reich !! You know like medical experiments and such !!!!🫢🫢🫢

Actually, DeathstarSantis will correct Florida history books to show that the Jews, and other victims of Nazi fascism, were well fed and learned valuable life skills just like American slaves did before the Armies of Northern Agression, led by that radical Republican Abraham Lincoln, invaded the South and put an end (almost) to the highly successful economic system mistakenly referred to as 'slavery'.

It’s very disturbing to read about the death of a former US Attorney. Jessica Aber was appointed by Biden and resigned when the new administration came in. I frankly don’t trust the media to report this story accurately. I don’t trust the police to investigate it accurately. I have no faith in our government to honor her appropriately. M…
