I read this morning that U.S. citizens should be on high alert following our bombing of Iranian nuclear facilities. From possibilities of cyber attacks to hate crimes, we’re told the ongoing conflict is causing a heightened threat environment in the United States. Iranian bombs have already flown toward US military bases in Qatar. Apparently Iran sent a message to President Trump while he was at the G7 meeting in Canada over a week ago.

Massive crowds turned up for the NO KINGS DAY rallies around the country on Saturday, while the military parade in Washington was a rained out show that was little more than a $45M ego trip. A parade to celebrate 250 years of the US military as well as Flag Day could have been a very powerful, positive thing - don’t get me wrong. But just parading a bunch of army tanks was not that.

When Dwight Eisenhower was asked if the United States should have a military parade, he responded this way:"Absolutely not. we are the pre-eminent power on Earth. For us to try and imitate what the Soviets are doing in Red Square would make us look weak.”Our power doesn’t lie in our ability to destroy anyone or anything. Our power lies in our ability to help people live better lives. And that’s why what’s happening these days is so deeply disempowering.

If any of the quiet part had not yet been said out loud, Kristi Noem said it yesterday.

I’ve been telling everyone I know recently, “They’re going to start arresting political figures.” Today they got a good start. Senator Alex Padilla of California was forceably removed from a Kristi Noem Press Conference in Los Angeles today. His crime? He tried to ask a question. In a normal world, mind you- as in a Constitutional order under rule by law - a U.S. Senator has every reason to be where Senator Padilla was today.

Hannah Arendt once said, “If world events weren’t so awful, life would be a joy.” At this moment of awful world events, it seems right to acknowledge the passing of someone who brought such great joy. Brian Wilson died today, a musical genius whose songs were so joyful they tempted you to underestimate how brilliant they were. One of my favorites feels like his perfect good-bye song: “God Only Knows.” Millions of us grew up with the Beach Boys.

I don’t know what Donald Trump is going to do, but like everyone else I know what he is capable of doing. And willing to do. That of itself should now seriously inform how we live our lives. This awful chapter will be over someday. The challenge is to be fully cognizant of the danger this administration represents right now - to our Constitutional principles, our freedom, and in some cases even our lives.

I’m deeply concerned about what’s happening in Los Angeles. Trump is sending in the National Guard to quell what the administration is calling an “insurrection.” It’s hard to believe this is happening in America, though at this point it’s not really a surprise. ICE agents are in military gear, terrorizing whole communities. Who knew? We all knew. Now brave Americans are rising up in protest. Consider this a kind of emergency prayer alert. There is so much volatility and potential for violence here.

For women in your 50s, 60s, 70s and beyond, I’m leading a seminar on Sunday that you might feel drawn to…It’s an opportunity to do the inner work that happiness in age requires: processing and forgiving the past, plus embracing the possibilities for a miraculous future. No matter who we are or what our age, it’s a challenge for all of us to strengthen our nervous systems at a time such as this.
