I've been sitting here trying to find a good news story to share, and I just remembered one from life:

Last week, when I went to see the storm waves, all kinds of plastic washed ashore and was surfaced by the beach erosion.

An elderly couple came prepared with two large bags, and they were picking trash up as they walked along.

Even better--other folks noticed their efforts and would pause to bring trash to them--so a wave of human goodness flowed up the beach.

Republicans against Trump
@RpsAgainstTrump

Former Trump WH aide Cassidy Hutchinson on Donald Trump:

"I do firmly believe that Donald Trump is an authoritarian leader. I think he values authoritarian rule over our rule of law. And I think that if he is elected as the next president of the United States, we are one step closer to operating under a dictatorship...The trajectory and the fabric of our nation will forever be changed if it happens again."

Please, never underestimate or forget the positive power you might have, the shaping influence you might provide towards the greater good through your words and ideas

meaning, inspiration, and hope are more life-changing gifts than many material things on offer these days

The value of the seeds you plant are immense

Just want to go on the record that, for over 6 years, I have perceived CoSo to be extremely supportive and inclined to comfort around well-being challenges.

Depressed? Anxious? Grieving? Traumatized? Preserving sobriety?

More than one of us has been there. Folks step up with compassion and empathy.

We are imperfect humans but hearts and intentions are solid.

I don't pay attention to award ceremony stuff, so I didn't realise this.

Well deserved recognition. 💚

Looks like an innovative way to lower student debt costs or eliminate them for most people. It gets around the Republicans trashing biden's student loan forgiveness. First I have seen of this. It needs to get wider attention.

Lawrence's glee while reporting the Appeals hearing on immunity is almost pornagraphic 😂
