8:30 pm - Spirituality and Activism w/Texas Tom

Agenda: Are we at a crossroads where we can strategize to bring Trump’s reign of terror to an end?

This evening we’ll watch two videos described below, followed by an open discussion about what we learned. From there, we’ll shift into identifying concrete actions—individually and collectively—that we can commit to in order to help bring an end to the Trump regime.

VIDEO #1: Mounting Pressure Exposes Cracks Within the Trump Administration Amid Intensifying Anti‑Authoritarian Resistance.

This video argues that Trump’s crackdown in Minneapolis has triggered resistance strong enough to force visible retreats from his administration and allies. It highlights right‑wing calls for de‑escalation and shifts in Trump’s tone as signs of mounting pressure. The host frames the Minneapolis general strike as proof that collective action is reshaping the political landscape.

VIDEO #2: Trump impeachment near as court rulings clear path.

The video argues that mounting court rulings and congressional actions have turned Trump’s potential impeachment in his second term into a concrete possibility rather than political chatter. It shows how judges, lawmakers, and even some Republicans are documenting abuses of power that could form the basis for removal, with the 2026 midterms emerging as the decisive hinge point.

8:30 pm - Spirituality and Activism w/Texas Tom

Agenda: Loving When We Are Not at Our Best

Many of us are carrying fear, anger, compassion, or uncertainty in response to recent events. How do we meet ourselves and others with love when division or anxiety clouds our vision? We’ll watch and discuss an interview with Parker J. Palmer, the Quaker writer and educator known for exploring inner life, community, and the courage to live authentically. He reflects on love as a way of seeing, moving through depression, and how listening to each other’s stories can soften polarization. We’ll close with a brief experience of Lectio Divina, the contemplative practice highlighted in the interview, and consider how it can be adapted for any spiritual background.

About Parker J. Palmer

Founder of the Center for Courage & Renewal; author of Let Your Life Speak and The Courage to Teach.
