After @johnfugelsang.bsky.social called him Jabba the Hutt, everything has since fallen into place in my head. It all makes sense. The President is a crime lord/mob boss-- not a typical politician. When I think of it that way, it's still horrible, but the cognitive dissonance diminishes immensely

Am I foolishly naive to think that there could be immigration reform in the upcoming Congress @aliciamenendez.bsky.social ? I'll never forget the President Reagen amnesty program from the 80s. But the party has changed so much since then, sadly.

Hi @nicollewallace.bsky.social your guest yesterday from the MN nurse organization is correct. Nurses are popular and beloved because of all the good they do for all of us. I'll never forget the protests during COVID and nurses standing up for public health against foolish selfishness

@dillon-naber-cruz.bsky.social my heart melted when you once talked 2John Fugelsang about Nero's wickedness. I look forward 2 your chats each week with him and Pastor Rose. Your recent discussion about effective nonviolent protest & the Nazis-so thought provoking. Peaceful protest can spark change

@libradunn1.bsky.social it was such an honor to meet you in Green Bay during the 2024 election for Dr Kristin Lyverly. I remember Jan 6 with such horror-- and that was only from watching it on TV. You lived it. Wishing you well and thank you for standing up for our democracy. You're the best!

I took @scifri.bsky.social advice and looked up sea slugs. I had always thought they were aquatic versions of our land slugs. Boy was i surprised! Such colorful creatures and so much diversity of body types. Love it!

I know there's a lot going on in the world, but the regime using music to promote their policies despite artists saying "Stop!"fascinates me @johnfugelsang.bsky.social Have you ever discussed this on your show with musicians and what legal remedies they have to stop it?

It's baffling to me @dillon-naber-cruz.bsky.social all the people downplaying what I thought was a fact: the Holy Family were refugees fleeing violence from Herod's agents. How people try to justify *not* calling Jesus a refugee, but we have an entire genre of paintings called The Flight Into Egypt

@weeknightmsnow.bsky.social I'm glad you and @crow.house.gov discussed the importance of the military to follow the law. It's chilling to know the President has ordered the military to shoot protestors before. Luckily back then, people resisted.

I'm grateful to @aliciamenendez.bsky.social for keeping us informed about the awful ICE operations in different cities. Up here in sleepy Green Bay, it's easy to forget these things are happening. Last night your story about agents breaking into a car to remove a man was another horrible example

Exciting to hear about the successful efforts to help restore the charismatic, amazing and endangered axolotl @scifri.bsky.social around Mexico City.

Thanks to @aliciamenendez.bsky.social for talking about Border Patrol and ICE disrupting communities today with Andrea Flores and others. They are not seizing criminals or gang members as promised. Our cities are not safer with "untrained paramilitary forces" doing domestic law enforcement

@aliciamenendez.bsky.social on the show tonight you nailed it! "Let them eat gold ballrooms"

I really hope @johnfugelsang.bsky.social @dillon-naber-cruz.bsky.social & Pastor Rose take Archbishop Dolan to the woodshed tonight. He's far too comfortable keeping company w the privileged. His recent comments about Charlie Kirk are so disappointing. Has he challenged any ICE deportations yet?

Yes @scifri.bsky.social one of my favorite birds, sandhill cranes are doing great lately, bouncing back from low populations in the early 1900s. They are very adaptable. This pair visits my northern Green Bay neighborhood to enjoy the local park. No chicks this year, sadly.

So I love this quote @dillon-naber-cruz.bsky.social shared recently on John Fugelsang's show. The early Christian theologian Tertullian tells us, "It is absolutely forbidden to repay evil with evil." In other words, do not cheer the murder of others. That strong moral clarity is so relevant now.

"Caligula, pick a lane!" 👌👌😍😍🤪🤪 @johnfugelsang.bsky.social hits the funny bone during this dark night of our nation's soul every night.

Can't thank @joannestarer.bsky.social enough for the wonderful Fire and Ice series. So many fun moments, chuckled so many times. Like classic JLI. Superheroes being funny done right!! "You'd think as codependent as they are, they'd know how to use each other's powers." Great cast too. 👏

Folklore surrounding Luna is so fascinating. Is it inhabited? The Blue Area of the Moon in Marvel Comics is a technological marvel. What about the idea the Moon is a spaceship? This one is new 2me Thanks @scifri.bsky.social for giving us some real world facts about our nearest neighbor in space

Hey @johnfugelsang.bsky.social your guest said --we're deporting brown people from the US who are indigineous to the Americas-- my mind blew. I hit pause on your show and pondered those wise words all the way home. The lines we draw to divide ourselves w/white nationalism as nations-so arbitrary

So glad to have @npr.org and 1A talking about sharks. Shark Week is a wonderful tradition in our home, always a great time to learn more about these fascinating creatures. Despite their reputation as fierce and unstoppable, they are vulnerable to overfishing and our warming oceans. 💙🦈

So @johnfugelsang.bsky.social I always assumed the US govt did their nuclear tests on vacant territories, not realizing they conducted them on tribal lands. I mean, how do we process the fact that the govt KNEW people lived on the testing sites and they didnt do anything to prepare them?

Just love the observation by @johnfugelsang.bsky.social how Rs are okay watching "the Constitution burn like a napkin at a Klan barbecue" Laughed out loud in the car! We can't forget how unlawful and unconstitutional so much of these orders are.

Hi @johnfugelsang.bsky.social I'm finally getting around to reading about liberation theology after graduating from Catholic college in the 90s. Today I learned that the #1 topic Jesus preached about was money $$ (!!!) Big if true! But so often I have heard more about sexual sins than about greed.

@msignorile.bsky.social you had I think it was the Treasury Secretary lying about how no one had concerns about tariffs in the previous Trump administration. Lie! "During the 2018-2019 trade war w China, US ag experienced over $27B in losses" -WI Soybean Assiciation

Yes @msignorile.bsky.social having the Treasury Secretary lecture us about buying fewer toys and tightening our belts while he is living a luxurious life is really giving us "Let them eat cake" vibes.

It's horrifying and infuriating @msignorile.bsky.social as you discussed about the campaign promises of the criminal president to deport criminals, and instead we get this: the deportation of the most vulnerable and the defenseless. Cruelty + Sadism = MAGA

Oh yes @msignorile.bsky.social @digby56.bsky.social I remember the Covid-19 protests very well. It was so shocking to see people revolt against health care providers because they were being....inconvenienced. To wear a mask was surrendering to tyranny🙄

On Earth Day, rescuers in Florida saved Calliope the manatee in the Melbourne Beach area from a fishing lure stuck in her mouth. Thanks to all the wonderful people who work so hard to keep #manatees safe and keep our waterways clean. ☮️

Just stunning to hear the IMF downgraded the US on @msignorile.bsky.social What a quick collapse of our economic recovery from the pandemic. I remember the "Biden Boom" Sigh. Those were good times

So sickening how much the administration is trying to convince us that Kilmar is a gang member. I'm glad that @msignorile.bsky.social took time to pick apart the many lies Pam Bondi has told about him. Naturally she's lying about him while wearing her cross since she's such a good Christian.

@briankarem.bsky.social I appreciate you talking on @siriusxmprog.bsky.social recently about the spineless and useless White House Press Corp who are more interested in their seats in the room than holding the powerful accountable

I'm glad @theweekendmsnbc.bsky.social @aliciamenendez.bsky.social discussed the horrific El Salvador prison that our country is sending alleged gang members to. Kristi Noem needs to answer many questions about this. Hopefully @ramirez.house.gov will get some oversight

So great to learn about Darwin's frogs and the important role males play in carrying fertilized eggs until they hatch. A role model for all us nurturing males! Also learned about the fungus endangering them and many other species @scifri.bsky.social

@aliciamenendez.bsky.social it's just so dehumanizing how this administration is treating immigrants of color. You are right- they are trying to make us hate and fear migrants. This is so un-Christian since Jesus told us to welcome the stranger.

@davanteforla.bsky.social great to hear your interview with @msignorile.bsky.social Standing up to the governor has put your position at risk. That takes courage, and hearing you speak so boldly gives the rest of us courage too. Thanks!

As an 80s kid, I remember Ronald Reagan standing up for American ideals against Communist regimes around the world To think a Republican president would dismantle the VOA and no congressional Republicans would speak up for its defense today is...stunning @aliciamenendez.bsky.social

I appreciate @msignorile.bsky.social alternative name for Musk's thing he's doing to the govt -- Dept of Stupidity. I love how he calls their staff "flunkies" Just awful incompetence from top to bottom

So many things are going to happen in Season 3 of #TheWheelofTime But I really hope to hear the Amyrlin say "Fish guts"

How many weapons does the Warder Maksim have proficiency with? I've seen him use a sword, a spear, and a bow and arrow. Maybe more? @taylornapier89.bsky.social must have done lots of training. The Last Battle is coming! #TheWheelofTime

I love in #TheWheelofTime Season 2 when Rand meets Elayne and she saves his life with a quick Heal. Quite a different first impression from the book, sure. But him gazing up into her worried face as she is bathed in Falme's bright light like an angel is wonderfully dramatic

Just a reminder that Karima Adebibe did a fantastic job on #TheWheelofTime playing High Lady Suroth. She makes villainy look like so much fun. Must have been hard to move in all those heavy outfits. Too bad she didn't have more scenes though, sigh.

I love that new name for Elon's government agency The Department of Stupidity @msignorile.bsky.social came up with That name sums up all the incompetent actions they've taken thus far, like accidentally firing our nuke scientists and doctors tracking Ebola outbreaks

Thanks to @scifri.bsky.social for reminding us of the environmental achievements and legacy of President Jimmy Carter. Putting solar panels on the White House was only part of his accomplishments. I shake my head in regret at what amazing progress we could have achieved if he had a 2nd term

Hey @jasonloo.bsky.social really enjoyed seeing the villainous Arcade show up during Alison's night out with Lila Cheney, making the streets of Tokyo into a MurderWorld setting. Plus the Locke-Bots were a nice reference to his former assistant. What a terrible mess for our favorite mutant popstar

Everyone who values the truth in this onslaught of disinformation we are living in will cheer @kimberlyeatkins.bsky.social @theweekendmsnbc.bsky.social as she challenges journalists to speak truth to power during this difficult time and not roll over for the powerful like eager puppies

@amandamarcotte.bsky.social I read your heartbreaking article about abandoned babies in Texas. I'm glad you and @msignorile.bsky.social discussed this. It's chilling to consider the prolife movement doesn't care about dead newborns. Somehow I thought helping vulnerable babies would be a priority

I always enjoy @msignorile.bsky.social annual Turkeys and Angels Awards Show. So glad both Gus and Tim Walz received awards 😇 Governor Walz is such a decent guy, and his son is adorable. I was looking forward to more stories of this proud family as they moved to DC. Sadly, voters said no😿

@theweekendmsnbc.bsky.social I appreciate your interview with the Labor Secretary on President Joe's pro-union labor accomplishments. Hope you guys can talk to Interior Secretary Haaland about all the remarkable accomplishments they have achieved for the tribal nations this term
