On my way from Spain via Poland to meet @WCKitchen team in @MFA_Ukraine this is the moment Ukraine needs our support…..as I’m near the border, and I update Air Alert Ukrainian app, alarms don’t stop coming….missile after missile every night! @NATO @Europarl_EN @EU_Commission must do more! Can do more. Should do more!

I just went to inspect Delaney Hall and heard from detainees that they aren't getting the medical care they need. Many are in pain. A man I spoke with was in tears.
Three people have now died after being held here. Delaney Hall needs to be shut down.

Kevin González is only 18. He is suffering from stage 4 colon cancer and has days to live. He’s desperate to spend his last moments with his parents, but ICE detained his mom and dad after they tried to seek humanitarian asylum.
This is the total cruelty of Trump’s mass deportation machine. I'm asking for Kevin’s parents to be released immediately so that they can be with their son. nbcchicago.com/news/local/ch…

Through struggle and discipline, persistence and faith, Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr. helped move this country forward. As we honor his legacy today, let’s remember the lesson he taught us: that even in the face of impossible odds, people who love this country can help change it. In honor of #MLKDay, I hope you’ll do what you can in your community to create a better future for us all.

Don't let what you see on social media skew your view of humanity.
Most bad behavior is due to a few bad apples:
• Just 3% of active users are toxic, but they generate 33% of online content
• 1% of communities launch 74% of conflict
• 0.1% of users spread 80% of fake news

“Over the weeks, months, and then years of training in Kendo, it would become deeply ingrained in me to face conflict and challenges this way: head on and belly button forward.” — @Cmoon #DailyDharma buff.ly/3TLiq8z

I met with a group of teenagers yesterday. One of their teachers had suggested that I talk to them about career paths because they're all anxious about exams, university choices and future work.
Instead of talking to them, I listened, and the actual problem was very different.

In this episode of Tricycle Talks, Tricycle’s editor-in-chief, @JShaheen, sits down with @Cmoon to discuss the importance of learning to face challenges directly and how she’s learning to take herself less seriously while remaining entirely sincere.

Rinzai Zen priest @cmoon‘s newly released memoir has just arrived :)
I have been very much looking forward to reading this. Cristina kindly gave me a tour of their beautiful temple chozen-ji when I was in town earlier this year.

ten years as an antiquarian, hearing nothing but "my relative kept these untouched in a box their whole life but they died, and I don't want this stuff" has radicalized me. annotate the books. use the china. wear the clothes until they wear out. your life should not be a museum

A majority of Asian Americans living in New York City have altered aspects of their lives, like not taking public transit or speaking in their native tongue, to prevent being the target of an anti-Asian incident, according to a new study. nbcnews.com/news/us-news/asi…

In 1939, a Chinese American family was unable to rent a house until a Black couple allowed them to rent and eventually buy their property.
Now, the family is donating $5 million to Black college students using proceeds from the sale of the house. nbcnews.com/news/us-news/bla…

Of the many lessons MLK Jr left us from his 39 years, I often reflect on one pointed out to me by @BerniceKing when I asked her about her father’s leadership. I come back to these words on love as critical tools to look out for one another and build a community that does so too. He intertwined love, power, and justice in a way we all should learn from for the health of our communities.
And as we reflect on his birthday today, his legacy, and we look around us at more chaos, I think we can all find a little more strength in something as simple as love. If we let his words guide us in service, in leadership, and as active citizens, a more just and strong democracy can come from it.
