A 3-year-old girl watched ICE murder her father yesterday. We all watched Sebastian Guerrero’s final moments through our phones. We can scroll away — but Sebastian’s 3-year-old daughter cannot.

overwhelmed by how beautiful this is

I'm old enough to remember when this sort of thing only happened in the Soviet Union.

“If that’s Mitch McConnell again, tell him I’m not here.”

I sincerely hope that James Talarico is exactly the man that we hope he is. Win or lose, I need him to be ethical, compassionate, and kind. I need to know that someone of integrity can exist in public life.

I say that the governor should just call the special election. If he's alive, it's null & void. If he's not, no time has been lost. Short of that, aren't there state laws regarding elder abuse, or abuse of a corpse that could be applied to demand access for a wellness check?

This is what November needs to look like for team Trump. Any candidate in his orbit needs to suffer a clear, lopsided defeat. His curse is not enough; we all have to show up and run up the score. Be Belgium.

Anyway, the Tuskegee Airmen faced far worse in their lives than any of us can imagine so if one of them can think this then so can you, happy 4th

Have a blessed Independence Day!

A song about humility and being open minded. We'd all do well to marinate in it for a while. open.spotify.com/track/5bJEpT...

No public library branch is planned for the orange guy's Presidential Library, Hotel, & Casino. Parents wouldn't let their children anywhere near it.

Iran will watch your parked car near Connie Mack Stadium and make sure no one breaks your windshield for 50 cents

This.

Talafreako masculinity: He has told you, O man, what is good;and what does the Lord require of you but to do justice, and to love kindness,and to walk humbly with your God? Micah 6:8

The thing with his past is, I've heard him explain it, and maybe even make excuses for it, but has he apologized for his actions? I believe that there's such a thing as reform that starts with repentance; I just haven't seen it from Platner. That's troubling.

This is a good question. #Science

Who else is hoping that Cassidy, Tillis, McConnell, and now Cornyn become the Four Horsemen of YOLO in the Senate? Seven months isn't enough to cleanse a legacy, but they sure could do some damage to the current agenda of hate and corruption. It could be great fun to watch. I'll bring the popcorn.

When walking your dog, put your phone away and pay attention to the things that he pays attention to. They don’t disappoint.

You know, I don't think the word "kakistocracy" is being used as much as is warranted. Yes, they're crooks, but we should also make note of their incompetence. Kakistocracy (pronounced kak-ist-OK-ruh-see) is a system of government run by the worst, least qualified, or most unprincipled citizens.

Yeah…that tracks. Welcome to 2025.

Wow. I've never heard him give his testimony before. Moving.

I'm being scolded - When walking with a good friend His interests come first

It’s the only way change happens.

I know it doesn't feel like it, but this is correct.

“He guards the steps of his faithful ones, but the wicked perish in darkness, for a person does not prevail by his own strength. Those who oppose the Lord will be shattered; he will thunder in the heavens against them. The Lord will judge the ends of the earth.” ‭‭1 Samuel‬ ‭2‬:‭9‬-‭10‬

The Bill of Rights - the first ten amendments to the US Constitution were crafted to fix deficiencies that the Founders identified while ratifying the original Constitution. My pick for the next ten amendments to correct the deficiencies that plague us today. The Bill of Wrongs Righted:

"good careers". I like that. Anyone can claim to create jobs. Setting the goal of creating careers implies something more sustainable and meaningful.

Proverbs 12:3 “No one is established by wickedness, but the root of the righteous will never be moved.”

Time for the summer ‘do.

Pope Leo to Vatican Publishing House: “I urge everyone to read books, as an antidote to closed-mindedness, which is reflected in rigid attitudes and reductive views of reality.” www.vatican.va/content/leo-...

Good morning, beloved. You do not have to do all of the hard things by yourself. Community can cure a whole lot. Today is a great day to overcome evil with good.

A big subtext to Trump's war on Pope Leo is that in so many ways, the Pope is utterly anathema to the white Christian Nationalist America that MAGA craves. Check out this exchange with @sarahposner.bsky.social on that point: newrepublic.com/article/2100...

A good listen. open.spotify.com/episode/7EKV...

Poor Chris Coons. The last decade has aged him about 40 years. He still tries, even though he knows the Rs will shove these nominees through regardless of qualification or integrity. He still tries, even though each one chips off another tiny piece of his soul.

So, when do we see articles of impeachment based solely on his violation of the 60 day war powers limit? It's easy to prove. Even he is still calling it a war. It's illegal and hugely unpopular. Even if it doesn't pass, get everyone on the record.

As a congregation, we're reading through the Bible in two years. Judges feels pretty familiar, so I asked Gemini to summarize the theme.

“The light shines in the darkness, and the darkness has not overcome it.” John 1:5

About PETE HEGSETH…

Should be interesting to watch. Montana isn't exactly a lefty stronghold.

AOC reads to Zeldin internal emails she obtained from the EPA about a meeting he had with the Bayer CEO on glyphosate, and asks him, "Do you understand the conflict of interest that is before the American people right now?"

This made my day... though he needs the mittens.
