Creating space for change is an art in which we are all learners. In this post, I explores the importance of hospitality in today’s world. robcorcoran.org/2025/12/19/cre…

I have a chapter in a recently published book on healing collective trauma and steps toward social justice & collective well-being. 12 scholars and practitioners share perspectives and practical experience. It’s available in open source version. robcorcoran.org/2025/11/21/exc…

We have much to learn from the mistakes that enabled Trump to gain power. After his destructive leadership we must come back to the world as a different country. What would that look like? Who do we need to listen to? What do we need to do differently? robcorcoran.org/2025/06/17/a-d…

Trump tariffs crash the stock market, raise the cost of living and put thousands out of work…and he goes to play golf. #tariffs #trumpeconomics

Why is the media giving time to Trump’s talk about a third term when we know it is unconstitutional? He is also barred from being vice president. Trump knows how to play the media. #constitution #media #Trump

An extraordinary display of arrogance, insults to a brave visiting president & complicity with Moscow by Trump, Vance, Rubio. Salute Zalensky for standing up to these fools who demonstrated to the world their incompetence and betrayal of American values. #zalensky

@NaniVazana Do you come to Austin?

I'm kicking off my USA Ladino tour in NY. I’ll play old and new Ladino songs, in an intimate show. See you there! Tuesday night, February 25, Joe's Pub, Public Theater, New York Doors: 6PM Show: 7PM Tickets: publictheater.org/productions/jo… #ladino #soloshow #publictheater

So there are just three Republican senators with any moral courage. Sens. Lisa Murkowski, Susan Collins, Mitch McConnell, were the only ones to vote against Pete Hegseth’s confirmation as Secretary of Defense.

Has Trump always spoken in such a boring monotone? It’s hard to Imagine anyone being inspired by it. #Trump #boring

My blog The True Spirit of Public Service, is inspired by Sen Tim Kaine’s book, Walk, Ride, Paddle: A Life Outside. He reflects on natural environment, family, friendship, politics, and faith. We desperately need such voices of moral integrity. robcorcoran.org/2024/07/04/the…

My message to Trump: Instead of playing politics, why don’t you join me in telling Congress to pass the Bipartisan Border Security Agreement?

Haley gets 40% of vote in SC primary. That’s bad news for Trump. It shows a sizable percentage of Republicans don’t want him as president.

The National Collaborative for Health Equity published Toward Transformative Reparations, a paper I co-authored with Mike Wenger. It was highlighted with other papers on the National Day of Racial Healing Jan 16 nationalcollaborative.org/wp-content/upl…

@AdamKinzinger One by one Republicans who once said he is unfit to be in the White House are now bending the knee to Trump. The rot of the GOP is complete.

So incredibly disappointed in @sentimscott. What is it worth a man to gain the world but lose his soul

One by one Republicans bend the knee to Trump. Even those who once said he is unfit to be president. DeSantis is the latest. Haley will follow. The rot of the GOP is complete.

Nikki Haley, why keep saying that in 2016 Trump was “the right president at the right time.”? He was morally unfit for the White House then, but GOP leaders gave priority to political expediency, and still do. And the country pays the price.

This speech by Prince Turki al-Faisal is, in my view the best to come so far from an #Arab leading figure on the current atrocities in #Gaza & #Israel. Clear condemnation of Hamas's violations against civilians that he anchored in local and Islamic values rather than international law, which makes it more relatable to many. He is also very clear on the Israeli's violations and of those in the region who aided #Hamas. He reminds people that 'Two wrongs don't make a right'

When fear and suspicion, anger and rage run hard, we have to work harder than ever to hold on to the values that make us who we are. We must renounce violence and vitriol, and see each other not as enemies, but as fellow Americans.
