Being open is the secret to great conversation

VOTE TO END THE TRUMP ERA
The New York Times editorial board, making deft use of hypertext, has published a powerful endorsement that covers so much ground, yet fits entirely in a single concise paragraph. In its entirety:
You already know Donald Trump. He is unfit to lead. Watch him. Listen to those who know him best. He tried to subvert an election and remains a threat to democracy. He helped overturn Roe, with terrible consequences. Mr. Trump’s corruption and lawlessness go beyond elections: It’s his whole ethos. He lies without limit. If he’s re-elected, the G.O.P. won’t restrain him. Mr. Trump will use the government to go after opponents. He will pursue a cruel policy of mass deportations. He will wreak havoc on the poor, the middle class and employers. Another Trump term will damage the climate, shatter alliances and strengthen autocrats. Americans should demand better. Vote.

12 principles for building a feminine economy.
“Be grateful. Remember, wealth has nothing to do with money. Divest your ego of the want to prove itself through struggle, sacrifice, and hard work. Practice radical self-love. Nourish, nurture, savor. Feel how rich you are already.”
