Much of our instinctive meanness comes from a deep-seated belief in scarcity: that success, beauty, or belonging is limited—that if someone else shines, it somehow dims our light. But that’s simply not true. There is enough success, happiness, and love to go around. It is, after all, a rather large Universe. Lifting others up doesn’t take anything away from you—it strengthens everyone. And we are all in this together.

An excellent update leading with the Kilmar Abrego Garcia case, posted by Heather Cox Richardson in her Letters From An American. If you need a reminder: Garcia was mistaken and illegally sent to a Venezuala prison by Trump. It is an important case in that if Trump and his minions can get away with this, he can continue to do so with impunity … If he can do it and claim “mistake” he can do it to any one of us … you or me … for any reason. For Trump you or I would need to look like or sound like or say something he interpreted as opposed to him.
