Head of the American Immigration Lawyers Association says plan similar to having ‘a cardiologist do a hip replacement’.

Can Kathy just be Wells’ bartending mentor? #BachelorInParadise

Highly recommend 3 Generations, a creative and honest trans coming of age film on prime with queen Susan Sarandon. #3generations

Aprillll! Meow!! 🐱 #bachelorinparadise #BIP

Dale checked off 2 of the boxes of ways people control others: Emotional abuse - gaslighting /making Kat feel crazy Minimizing, denying, blaming - he did all of these and tried to blame her for not being healed from her ex, instead of taking responsibility for his actions #BIP #BachelorinParadise

Realizing some explanation might be needed for all two people who recently started following me here (thanks!) at #uccsynod. I also unapologetically watch The Bachelor franchise (ok a little apologetically..) and talk about it online. I am a complex woman.

Loved this. Love Gary. #bachelorinparadise

But synod isn’t reaaally over until you have run into a bunch of UCCers on the way home in the airport. #uccsynod

Seriously. Please come take this candy away! #uccsynod

We still have some huckleberry (and cherry!) taffy left over at the Montana-Northern Wyoming table. If you want some before @generalsynic.bsky.social gets to it, come by! Betty the Bison will welcome you. #uccsynod

Anyone else have the desire to shout “stand up, sit down, fight, fight, fight!”?

#UCCSynod Day 3, I’ve been awake so long this morning for my regional caucus that at 9am it feels like 111:30. What do you mean the exhibit hall isn’t open yet?

Looking forward to this keynote address from Rev. Jennifer Butler, who is starting off talking about getting arrested in nonviolent civil disobedience alongside UCC clergy. Here for this! #UCCSynod

Well it happened. I entered the blip in the space-time continuum that is #UCCSynod and showed up early to my regional caucus this morning at 6:30 a.m. Who am I? Where are we? Why?

Over here crying into my cauliflower steak listening to Kansas City Choral Spectrum at the #UCCSynod Open and Affirming Coalition UCC Gala dinner. Didn’t know I needed that ministry of song, joy, pride and resistance in this little conference room. Grateful. 💕🏳️‍⚧️🏳️‍🌈✝️

Just learned that as an Associate delegate I can’t vote in the (temporary) absence of a voting delegate. So…what IS the purpose of an Associate Delegate besides tying up the synod wifi on social media during votes? #UCCSynod #Hereforthesnacks

Yeeps. Two years after the last GS, I find that my progressive lenses reallly don’t handle these big screens. What’s going to happen when we go three years till next time….? #Thisis50 #UCCSynod

Anyways, if y'all are interested in buying from and supporting Black Farmers, this is a great source blackfarmersindex.com

if you're a PhD applicant with acceptances to programs in the US, you should ask your potential advisor what is happening at the university, in the department, or at least in their own heads in response to Mahmoud Khalil's abduction and deportation.

Wut? This is brilliant!

Pass it on. #StandWithUkraine

Major news! A court in Montana has just declared SB458, a bill that "defines sex" in a way that ends the legal recognition of transgender people in Montana, as facially unconstitutional. This is the first time a bill defining sex has been ruled on! Huge win for trans people in MT!

😂 So very true! P.S. Albertsons had half a dozen queer Valentine’s cards too. Interesting!

Storytellers will be the ones to see us through this. Stories help us remember where we come from and what we’ve been through. They inspire us to imagine new and better futures. A love of storytelling fosters empathy, compassion, and curiosity.

As DOGE began infiltrating government agencies and targeting federal staff for termination, I started interviewing tech workers on the front lines. With the mass layoffs unfolding today, and with their permission, I'm sharing their stories. This is what it's been like to endure Musk's campaign.

So, that halftime show made it clear, yet? REVOLUTIONARY MOVEMENTS NEED ART It's the air and the fuel and the light and the map

Today is International Day of Women & Girls in Science. Marie Curie, the first woman to win a Nobel Prize. Her contributions have left an indelible mark on the world of science & health & continue to inspire generations of scientists & innovators. 🔬 #WomenInScience #WomenInSTEM

WOW! Cory Booker isn't holding back! "There can be no bystanders in this fight. It is time that we understand the only thing necessary for wrong to triumph is for right to do nothing, for right to be silent."

😞

I feel it ALL.

Nearly $7 million has been “apportioned” over the past week to cover DOGE-related expenses.

As the expected Christian Nationalism EO came in, I’m seeing a bunch of “this isn’t real Christianity” noise in my mentions. Nope. Christian friends. 1/x 🧵 This is 💯 part of the history of Christianity, dating to Constantine, to the Holy Roman Empire, forced conversions, Inquisitions, +

This! Hold steady!

Hell yeah. Hold the line. This is what we need people to do. Slow things down, don’t comply in advance so the courts have time to stop them. It’s starting to work.

True.

I sincerely don’t know why people aren’t physically stopping those dorks. Move shit. Lock doors. Lose the keys. Everyone switch seats. Turn off all the lights. Switch the signs on the elevator lobby. Make the settings all silly. Use a different language. Wear costumes. Fill rooms with balloons

2 insurrections, same President.

Where the hell is Lin-Manuel Miranda? Why isn’t he, in full costume, outside the Treasury Department, right now, RAPPING?!

Props to the faith leaders who have been consistently out front over the last couple of weeks.

I went to my Congressman's local office today. First off, they were surprised that I was there. They said they had been getting phone calls, but I was the first walk-in. That said, the phones were not ringing off the hook. If the DC phone lines are busy, try calling the local office.
