I first met Randy in 2009 at a 100th b-day celebration in memory of Wally Nelson. Randy was one of the gentlest, kindest, and most peaceful humans I've ever met. His courage of conscience for nonviolent social change was an inspiration. Rest in power, Randy!

A must-read thread:

Former Watergate prosecutor @NickAkerman writes that Nixon would have been immune from any Watergate crimes under SCOTUS ruling— including sending a team to try to kill my father (not via Seal Team 6 but Bay of Pigs veterans under the incompetent oversight of Hunt and Liddy.)

Bernie is right.

Today my dad would have been 93. He celebrated early last year, not knowing if he would make it to 92. In an interview last March with Christiane Amanpour he expressed his contentment. “It’s been a wonderful party, and it’s time to go home and go to bed.”

Today Daniel would have turned 93. We miss you dearly Daniel!

This video is from Daniel's 87th birthday--the last big birthday party of his life--hosted by @MaryEllsberg and her husband Michael, 4/7/18.

The Israeli government must understand that responding to the provocation is exactly what Hamas want them to do. A short thread on the only argument I think they might listen to:

While in Italy promoting the Vatican's new edition of Dorothy Day's "From Union Square to Rome" (with a foreword by Pope Francis), I had an opportunity to meet the pope. He brightened at the sight of Dorothy Day's picture. I told him, "You are the shepherd of Dorothy's dreams."
