Prophetic prose amidst the atrocities of ICE in our country.

Q: How do you spell HYPOCRISY? A: Jan 6 “The president absolutely supports peaceful protests …he does not support violence of any kind. He does not support assaulting law enforcement officers who are simply trying to do their job." - Karoline Leavitt, 6.11.2025 youtu.be/hVJ4dcU7QEk?... #lies

Several thousand showed up in Columbia SC today for the “No Kings” rally! #nokings

Horrible!!!

This isn’t a political disagreement, this is an attack on democracy itself. The League of Women Voters is mobilizing 8.5 M voters between now and the 2026 midterms - the number it takes make a difference. (LWV takes guys, too). www.instagram.com/reel/DKxzdkm...

Get on a street with a sign. DEMAND BETTER OF YOUR GOVERNMENT...... WHY? ✔️Because YOUR government is failing. ✔️YOUR benefits are being cut. ✔️Your money is shrinking.

We knew what he was about … yet he still got reelected.

Lessons from Poland.

@50501-sc.bsky.social MAYDAY- Columbia,SC showed up! Protesting Trump administration’s authoritarianism, damaging our democracy, federal institutions, due process, and threats to vital programs: Medicaid, SS, Medicare…

Let’s hear it for the League of Women Voters and their fight to preserve our democracy!

I totally agree!

Amen - and very sobering.

Yes, we are in a Constitutional CRISIS. April 17, 2025. It took only 87 days into the Trump administration for the nonpartisan League of Women Voters to declare it so. Brooks and Capehart discussed the LWV announcement on PBS News Hour, 4.18.25. We must NOT let up. youtu.be/OPvoaEWSFGs?...

Amen!

30% of my district is on Medicaid. It would be higher if we actually covered everyone in need here.

Click the graphic to see MEDICAID enrollment in YOUR congressional district. Cutting Medicaid could impact 23% of SC-2: 79K children 65K adults 19K disabled 12K seniors **** call your 3 **** www.kff.org/medicaid/iss...

Check the graph to see federal % of your state’s public education budget. So many RED states! IF federal Ed $$ goes away, SC could loose 1.9 $B of its 12.5 $B budget for K-12 education per public.tableau.com/views/RFA_Ed.... Do the math for YOUR state. **** CALL your 3 **** #SCPOL

Sen Graham’s flip flop: 2/14-“I’m very proud to have you as our ally” 2/28-“What I saw was DISRESPECTFUL. I don’t know if we can ever DO BUSINESS with Zelensky again.” DISRESPECTFUL? Trump & JD wouldn’t let him talk. The world sees the setup. DO BUSINESS? This is Extortion: #ArmsForMinerals

Amen. Slava Ukraine and their heroic fight to retain democracy.

The world today saw the disgraceful thuggery treatment of our Ukrainian ally. They’ve been fighting not just for their lives, but for the free world’s democracy. The big Q: why the favoritism to Russia? **** call your 3 *****

What’s next? Air is not 21% oxygen?

Called Congressman Joe Wilson today: “PROTECT MEDICAID! “My mother-in-law is in asst’d living facility. Is 89, almost blind. She pays half the $4k rent; Medicaid the other half. She could get kicked out If she lost Medicaid - we can’t afford her $2k. “Trim fat with scalpel, not a damn chain saw!”

Greater voter participation, less cost! #InstantRunoffVoting

Telling my 3: STOP the capitulation to Russia! @postcards4usa.bsky.social

Proverbs 9:7 (NIV) kinda sums it up: “The righteous care about justice for the poor, but the wicked have no such concern.” ‭

Amen, Pete!

Call your 3! Clear evidence that the CDC has stopped publishing influenza test data after Feb 1 (week 5). I took this screenshot from the CDC website TODAY. Shows flu cases doubled from week 1 to week 5. BUT THIS IS WEEK 7! What’s happening NOW? www.cdc.gov/fluview/surv...

The irony of Elon Musk complaining about unelected bureaucrats having excessive power is richer than Elon Musk.

wapo.st/4hPMU3A Thousands of taxpayer-funded websites disappeared this week. Though some pages are since restored, those still missing contain decades’ worth of information critical to scientists, physicians, urban planners, businesses and families. Protect, preserve, defend? NOT!

What DOGE is doing to USAID is IMMORAL! Too much power in too few hands - no accountability. Ditto for its invasion of the other agencies and institutional pillars. And so we FIGHT! “But you, take courage! Do not let your hands be weak, for your work shall be rewarded." 2 Chron 15:7 RSV

We are not going to sit around while you go ahead and desecrate our constitution, or you look at the laws that have been passed into law and say, never mind, we'll just ignore that.

To save less than 1% of the federal budget, the richest man in the world is starving the poorest people in the world. USAID is not just moral, but good diplomacy.

Amen!

On 1/16/25, the World Health Organization (WHO) issued a $1.5B Health Emergency Appeal to provide life-saving health care for more than 300 million people across the globe. On 1/20/25, Trump's EO withdrew USA from WHO. WHY? "onerous payments far out of proportion with other countries". NOT SO!
