Do Not Fear...and Trust Not The Beck.

I'm seeing a lot of folks talking right now about how Fox News fear-monger Glenn Beck has finally seen the light and is denouncing the President-elect Trump. Don't fall for it, friends. Beck is simply peddling another flavor of fear for a brand new audience. His lies and paranoid rants are gearing up to enslave Liberal Progressive minds now. Yes, we have a lot to fear and a ton of things to work on currently, but we cannot become enslaved to fearful imaginings, there is too much at stake. Fear sells, just like hate sells. Let this fear motivate us towards incredible actions and deeds on behalf of the oppressed. Fear not. Get busy!

Let your love be the instrument of change.

Thought for the day… Let your love be the instrument of change.

Start now, with what you’re got where you are. Love your family, honour you, love your community, make good and ethical buying choices that help the earth. If you have the chance to vote someone in or out of power who makes more loving and inclusive choices for everyone, please take it and vote with your heart. Democracy is your sacred chance to make a difference, please take it. For those who do not live in a democracy then use love instead…your love is much more powerful than you realize. Every little effort for good helps everyone have a better life and our children have a joyful future.

Cat Attempts to Outdo Trump's Ridiculousness...

I actually made this meme like 5 years ago or so. I don't remember what the motivation was. Trump was meddling in President Obama's re-election campaign against Romney I think. He was being beyond ridiculous. I would never have dreamed he would have become our President-elect a few short years later. Just, WOW. 

The meme is just not funny anymore.

You Want Us to Forget the Hate Talk, Trump and Co?

If Mr Obama had used similar histrionics as Trump did, do they think he would have been elected, twice? If he spoke w/similar divisive words, would the Right not have crucified him? If Hillary had talked like Trump did & won, do we think the Right would still be saying "no hard feelings" or would they be calling for blood; & impeachment?? 

To Trump & supporters,

 He's been racist & talkin' trash during the entire campaign. Now you want those of us who oppose hate, exclusivity & racism to forget how you/he got elected? Really??

This too shall pass… like a kidney stone.

This too shall pass… like a kidney stone.

Dear Hillary,
We are so proud of you. Take some time off, dear. We’ll take it from here.
 
Dear Readers of Margaret & Helen,

Our greatest work starts now. If you have a neighbor who has been targeted this election, hug them and remind them that this is still their America too. If you have a neighbor who voted for Trump, congratulate them on their win and then move on.
In their wisdom, the Founding Fathers prepared us for this. Call your local Democratic office today and ask them how you can get involved. Washington moves mercifully slow. We have two years to take Congress away from this man and four years to restore our dignity.

Our Democracy is stronger than one man and one election. This grand experiment we call the United States has not failed. It has just begun.

Today we heal.
Tomorrow we act.
2018 we correct.
2020 we redeem.

We broke it and now we must fix it. The world is counting on us. I mean it. Really.

Islamophobia...is it of God?

 Already had a tussle today with an Islamophobe on Facebook (the day after the US election of a racist hatemonger). She was saying that Islam was not recognized by the Christian God, well the book of Genesis says otherwise. Muslims are our brothers and sisters, folks, if you're of an Abrahamic religion, they are our spiritual relatives through Abraham's son Ishmael. We need to get along. We have one planet. Christians and Muslims have already tried out the mutual annihilation thing in ages past. It's time to learn to "live together as brothers or perish together as fools"...as the Great MLK Jr. said. 

This is what the biblical God had to say about the future religion of Islam: 

Genesis 17:18-20 18 And Abraham said to God, “If only Ishmael might live under your blessing!”19 Then God said, “Yes, but your wife Sarah will bear you a son, and you will call him Isaac. I will establish my covenant with him as an everlasting covenant for his descendants after him. And as for Ishmael, I have heard you: I will surely bless him; I will make him fruitful and will greatly increase his numbers. He will be the father of twelve rulers, and I will make him into a great nation.

I don't know why nobody told you How to unfold your love..

Wow. Really?

I'm totally gobsmacked today. Donald Trump has won the US Presidency. Hate, fear and misinformation have won the country. I can't stop crying. What a day for American history. Think I'm gonna head outside and do as this meme suggests.
