The America I love is the one that welcomes Arthur Liu - a refugee from communist oppression - and his daughter becomes an Olympic gold medalist! I don't love the America that excludes people like him, or deports them back to their oppressors, as right now with many Cubans, Venezuelans, and others.

I don’t know who needs to hear Jesse Jackson leading the kids on Sesame Street in this beautiful call-and-response reminding them that every child is somebody, but here it is

We know we are in a cruel time. This opens the door to a terrible new level of its expression.

There is no doubt the strikes are criminal. It is also becoming apparent that they are also incredibly ineffective as a deterrent…that has always been the case with the “War on Drugs” posture. www.npr.org/2026/01/27/n...

Truth. I’ll need to put an asterisk on my UT degree. Fortunately my grad degree was outside of Texas universities. “*before Trumpism”

my expectation of democratic senators is that they find 1/10th of the bravery of your average 70 year old lutheran lady following ICE around mpls in her subaru crosstrek

Nope.

You know, I always wonder why the theaters I visit don’t outfit themselves with marble (AND EVEN BETTER - GOLD) armrests. Seems like they would do it if they were home to first class shows.

The #1 movie when you were 10 years old is how your 2026 is going to go. Going vigilante and driving a cool car.

The #1 movie when you were 10 years old is how your 2026 is going to go. "Whoa. This is heavy."

Amazing sunset captured on my run tonight. #Colorado

15 US states and territories have formed a new Public Health Alliance, which will counter the absence of federal leadership by tracking outbreaks, issuing guidance, buying vaccines and more. Members of the new alliance include CA, CO, CT, DE, GU, HI, IL, MD, MA, NJ, NY, NC, OR, RI, WA.

True and I think participation is super important. But, the power of the 3.5 rule is not in one-off participation but having 3.5% engaged in sustained resistance.

As a lifetime Texas Ex I am embarrassed by the capitulation to and embrace of political/financial power. This is not how we “change the world.” This is how we partner with exploitation and become nothing.

Doesn’t feel very congruent with a pro-life ethos — one where the imago Dei is affirmed.

This Texas Ex Life Member is not proud of this development.

From Nazi Germany to Trump’s America: why fascist strongmen rely on women at home

Dang. Am I seeing the impact of tariffs and economic slowdown down? Our favorite ramen joint is EMPTY at noon on Saturday.

Dr. Demetre, in his resignation from the CDC, said this: “I have never experienced such radical non-transparency, nor have I seen such unskilled manipulation of data to achieve a political end rather than the good of the American people”. It is an outrage that RFK Jr. remains as head of HHS.

Just canceled Paramount+ and converted that monthly fee to a monthly donation to PBS. I already planned on doing so due to the @colbertlateshow.bsky.social nonsense. The monitoring of news content that was baked into the deal with the administration and FCC is even more appalling.

On my run this morning I encountered a female moose, two young bucks, and a bald eagle flying overhead… I need to buy a lottery ticket.

Never would you ever have convinced my younger self that I’d be cooking up some tofu for my fried rice. I can’t wait to get these crispy pillows of goodness in my belly!

You know who had a secret Police? Who also spied and kidnapped people The Queen of Narnia She was evil and didn't like humans either I'm on the side of the Beavers And welcome back any Fauns who change their minds

I just discovered film in my camera from college. It’s gotta be 20 years old. I wonder what’s on it. Time to find a place that’ll develop this!

My 15 year old daughter’s doodles are the best

Lord have mercy. Kyrie eleison. Where’s our “pro-life” government? www.theguardian.com/world/live/2...

When someone shows you who they are, believe them the first time….or the 1000th.

He knows that Sith are the only ones to carry red lightsabers right? He knows the Sith orchestrated the coup that led to the Empire right?

You should pay attention to how much historians are shouting about the dangers of this moment. We have studied the history of humanity’s inhumanity to humanity. What we’re seeing from this regime is reminiscent of the worst moments from our past.

Dang. I’m wrecked. @boozybiblescholar.bsky.social it was uncalled for to tell your readers to listen to Tobe Nwigwe’s “Make It Home.” That was so disruptive to my run this morning.

Having worked in community mental health imbedded in a community health clinic I speak with first hand knowledge when I say that this is categorically false. Our safety net programs serve a vital, life saving role for millions of people and they SAVE tax payers $ through preventative care.

Way to go Rutgers! Waiting to see if the rest of the Big Ten follow suit and codify this thing. All higher education needs to take note and protect one of the most valuable resources this nation has.

That this is what rises to the top is evil. The use of a gulag, stripping away of rights and care for marginalized ppl, gutting of safety nets, and positioning poor and POC to be a minimum wage (or less) labor force to be exploited and held down far outweighs this.

Good morning, beloved. Find someone to celebrate. Today is a great day to overcome evil with good.

“…there’s always more misery among the lower classes than there is humanity in the higher classes.” (Victor Hugo) Ouch! And not wrong… In his 1967 speech, The Three Evils of Society, MLK called us to choose between materialism and humanism. As a country we continue to choose the former. (1/2)

Every university should be implementing something like this.

The latest episode of Holy Heretics featuring @boozybiblescholar.bsky.social is a good listen. Ready to grab her book as I work to detangle from toxic theology.

“Religion that God our Father accepts as pure and faultless is this: to look after orphans and widows in their distress…”(James 1:27) He’s not pushing any kind of Jesus following agenda.

Somehow this feels an awful lot like the setup in Silo…IT and Judicial working hand in hand pulling the strings behind the curtain

Looking at the OT the messaging is clear, economic oppression is itself a form of shedding blood. (Mic 3:10-11 & 2:1-9; Ezek 22:12-13) What an indictment against us … other white majority nations too but that’s their story.

Y’all I’m so impressed with my 15 year old daughter’s artwork.

Started listening to Theologizin’ Bigger on my run and it is 🔥🔥. @pastortrey05.com you’ve done a good work. Thanks for your voice and heart threaded throughout questioning and protecting.

This is a good idea, but as consumers we can also hurt Tesla in many other ways. In addition, foreign governments can reduce purchases of Tesla components as well. It won’t take all that much to create a panic in that org.

“Evil is the absence of empathy.” -psychologist at the Nuremberg Trials after looking for commonality among the 25 N*zi war criminals

I don’t feel like this needs to be said, but apparently it does. SSRI’s and SNRI’s (depression/anxiety Rx), and ADHD meds are life saving. They do not promote addiction but demonstrably reduce substance abuse and self harm among people (adults and minors) with these mental health conditions.

This feels like a bad SNL skit.

Fact checking RFK Jr.: No, antidepressants are not harder to quit than heroin.

Lord have mercy. May the outcry be deafening.

Today and every day. Repost if you agree! 🦋
