I saw The Way We Were last night in light of Robert Redford’s death (thinking I hadn’t seen any of his films.. but later… realized I had). 1. It was so good. 2. He looks like Brad Pitt! They could have been brothers! 3. I was devastatedddd by the ending. I was not prepared for that.

Tell Brendan Carr this is wrong & unAmerican. The federal government does not police speech. Speak more not less. Emails. Phone calls. Letters. [email protected] 202-418-2200 Federal Communications Commission 45 L st NE 20554 Washington DC 20554 #1A #Kimmel #firstamendment

The world is waking up to the tragic chaos happening in the church where Christians are calling empathy a sin. But we should step back & say, do these folks even know Christ? Instead of asking why empathy is a sin, maybe we should ask, do they know Jesus? Likely not. apnews.com/article/cons...

Cats are and always have been cyberpunks

America we have watched fear driven ideas of immigration that have ripped apart families, taken our neighbors and stripped our workforce. I think we are all ready for something different… we could instead have solutions based immigration reform. open.substack.com/pub/christys...

Breaking news: Federal immigration officers may deport immigrants with as little as six hours’ notice to countries other than their own, even without assurances that the arrivals will be safe from persecution or torture, a top official said.

GoFundMe has set up a page for the Texan flood victims. Each campaign has been verified by the company's Trust & Safety experts, which means you know your money is going directly to families. Please consider donating if you can. Their stories are heartbreaking. www.gofundme.com/c/act/flood-...

Just think about this statement. It should send chills to your core:

We're not an evil country. But our government does a lot of evil things.

I think more attention needs to be given to the fact that ICE has effectively criminalized noncitizens having certain tattoos, which is yet another blatant violation of the 1st amendment. Congress has not and may not pass any law limiting free expression in the US.

The US Institute of Peace is back after a judge ruled that DOGE illegally shuttered it & seized its building. But guess what? 40 years of research was erased so they are now having to rebuild it all. Also, they found rats (& reefers) in their seized building. HT: @maddow.msnbc.com www.usip.org

Pastor Maurilio Ambrocio, a 20-year U.S. resident with a stay of removal, was detained upon showing up for an immigration check-in last month. "You're gonna take you know a community leader, a pastor, a hardworking man," said Greg Johns, Ambrocio’s neighbor. "What, did you need a number that day?"

MISSING CHILDREN? After an increase in unaccompanied children arriving at the US/Mex border in ‘12, Mosaic Compassion opened a high-skilled shelter for vulnerable children.

At Pope Leo XIV's first Mass as leader on Friday, he pledged to align himself with “ordinary people” and not with the rich and powerful. Many see the first American pope as a continuation of his predecessor, Pope Francis, in his advocacy of the poor, migrants and a more open church.

Rubio publicly criticizing an ally for cracking down on right-wing extremism. And Germany hitting back. We are in a new world

genuinely feel insane

Yes, when you back Russia, you are taking the side of Iran and North Korea.

Trump’s invocation of the Alien Enemies Act is a profound risk to everyone's civil liberties. By invoking the AEA and insisting migrants are part of an “invasion,” POTUS is: ❌ flouting the law ❌ abusing power against Congress’s intent ❌ seeking more unchecked authority Read our thread for why ⬇️

Oh: Episcopal Diocese of Rio Grande apparently received a letter from DHS suggesting they were involved in human trafficking. In a video, Bishop Michael Hunn fervently rejects the claims and declares: "We …have been practicing our Constitutionally guaranteed faith." www.youtube.com/watch?v=7Wl4...

Schumer should have shut the government down.

This line is so smart from the @thebulwark.bsky.social 'About' page: "If you want to be part of The Bulwark, but can’t afford a membership, email us at [email protected]. We’ll work something out. Everyone who wants to be part of The Bulwark can be." www.thebulwark.com/about

Around half of the €200 million funds for the Tallinn Mechanism — a key effort by the U.S., EU and NATO to provide cyber support to Ukraine — have evaporated after the US pulled its funding, Estonia’s cyber ambassador told me today. More in NatSecDaily: www.politico.com/newsletters/...

Brave Ukraine defender Natalia Grabarchuk, a former kindergarten teacher, stopped a Russian cruise missile from killing civilians, including children in 2024. #3E #IWD #InternationalWomensDay

Read Brian Klaas’s well earned wisdom.

Why is your dog spoilt Christy? Well she sleeps like a baby like this for starters.

The cruelty is simply awful to watch. I grieve that the U.S. has become this. That the party of Bush, McCain and Reagan has become this. So awful.

Thank you, Anthony, for your intrepidity, in publicly speaking out against Trump. As a man of faith, Anthony's story is both compelling and edifying.

Reading Jonathan Rauch’s new book before church, drinking coffee, while this girl snuggles. She’s my fav.

“I wanted to say thank you to the Ukrainian people for reminding the world what it looks like when a citizenry comes together to fight against evil in defense of decency and democracy. Glory to Ukraine! “ ncnewsline.com/2025/02/24/n...

This is terrible. It is not what the U.S. has stood for.

Extraordinary image: EU leaders solemnly lined up in Kyiv to commemorate the third anniversary of Russia launching its full-scale invasion of Ukraine. Let's hope they can back up the symbolism with action. (I wish a Ukraine-supporting American leader were standing there with them.)

One way to commemorate the end of the third year of Russia’s senseless, criminal war against Ukraine is to read the work of Ukrainians about it. Vika did not live to see the publication of this book, since she was killed by a Russian missile. But we can see her in her words.

This is not normal.

Opinion | Government workers need to be more productive on the job. They can start by writing weekly emails detailing their progress to a drug-addled edgelord who will receive them while playing Diablo 4 with teenagers.

Can't imagine where they got the idea, but earlier in the week, the White House comms director posted (and then reposted) this.

This happened today at the Principles First summit in DC, where my husband is speaking. Guys, there is a consequence to the "us versus them" language many of you voted for, support, and applaud. But it's not too late to say, "enough."

NEW: The Principles First summit received a bomb threat today from a sender who said they'd built four pipe bombs to "honor the J6 hostages recently released by Emperor Trump" and listed a number of Donald Trump critics. A video feed showed the conference room being swept by a K-9.

Do you have a red line for Republican candidates when you are evaluating whether you will vote for them? Former GA Lt. Gov. Geoff Duncan: “If you believe in any way that the 2020 election was rigged, you are dead to me.” @principlesfirst.bsky.social

Arizona GOP leaders sent a letter to U.S. Attorney General Pam Bondi asking her to reconsider the Justice Department's lawsuit challenging the state's restrictive proof of citizenship for voting law.

These gentlemen are patriots and heroes who took their oaths to defend the US and the Constitution from all enemies foreign and domestic seriously.

“It’s disgusting...it’s insulting” @heathmayo.bsky.social reacts to Elon Musk’s demand for federal employees to justify their work or resign.

"Brazil has demonstrated how democracies that value themselves defend themselves," Quico Toro writes. "America could have done the same."

I wrote about the dominant creed of American life — the Gospel of Stuff and Status — and argue that these false idols are making millions of people avoidably miserable. www.forkingpaths.co/p/the-false-...

“There’s ways to shrink the federal bureaucracy without trampling on individual dignity.” Hutchison shrank the state workforce of Arkansas by 14% in 8 years without ever firing anyone through hiring freeze and not filling positions that opened up. He knows that of which he speaks. #PrinciplesFirst

Something is shifting. They are still breaking things and stealing things. And they will keep trying to break and to steal. But the propaganda magic around the oligarchical coup is fading. (1/2)
