In any other business if the boss were high on steroids and sending out insane tweets like this the board of directors would insist—at the very least—that he surrender his nuclear codes. But by now we know: there is no one in the Admin or GOP who is going to intervene. #Vote

John Woolman (d 10/7 1772), a Quaker tailor from NJ, spent his life in a continuous effort to heed the dictates of Christ in all areas of his life—above all to do all in his power to oppose the evil of slavery. He traveled on foot throughout the mid-Atlantic to spread this cause.

Pacing his room in an excited state, the master was visited by an angel of light who told him to go to the center of Nevsky Prospect and publicly confess his sins, while an angel of darkness said the estate was unworthy of him and he should burn it down. #TolstoysTalesofTrump.

From his study of powerful leaders the master discovered that each of them had perfected a signature pose, one that managed at once to stir fear in their enemies and boundless confidence among their subjects. He called his own pose: “Orange Steel.” #TolstoysTalesofTrump

Incredible how little (0) coverage the press has been giving the unfolding revelations in the Assange case.
What a conversation with the one and only @DanielEllsberg about his testimony on behalf of our dear brother #JulianAssange. Can't believe it's been 7 years since I dialogued with him inside the Ecuadorian Embassy.

After a hearty breakfast he swam the Potomac, leaving his Secret Service escort struggling to keep up.

A hungry bear who had been pursuing him for years was reported in the vicinity of the estate. Out of an abundance of caution, the master spent the day alone in his “safe room” with the lamps brightly lit, the doors locked, and all the windows tightly drawn. #TolstoysTalesofTrump

Thrilled that Pope Francis gives the last word in his encyclical to Bd. Charles de Foucauld, who "expressed his desire to feel himself a brother to every human being, and asked a friend to “pray to God that I truly be the brother of all”. . . .

"He wanted to be, in the end, 'the universal brother.' Yet only by identifying with the least did he come at last to be the brother of all. May God inspire that dream in each one of us. Amen." For more on Foucauld: americamagazine.org/faith/20…

When the Pope chose to be called Francis it was more than a name—it was an agenda. Today on the feast of St Francis he issued the second of his two encyclicals inspired by the Poor Man of Assisi.
For the feast of St Francis, a video based on my reflections, thanks to @SheenCenter and @GiveUsThisDayLP St. Francis of Assisi piped.video/oFtq2BzZwDU via @YouTube

In the humble hovel of every peasant on the estate could be found a picture of the master with the title: “INDOMITABLE: Always working hard for you.” The overseer confirmed that it was properly displayed. #TolstoysTalesofTrump

Note: There had been some thought given to suspending #TolstoysTalesofTrump while the master was hospitalized. But then he posed for these photos of his strenuous labors. The master is RELENTLESS and so is Tolstoy.
