Remember?

"There is a particular kind of hunger that money cannot feed. It grows not in the stomach, but in the hollow chambers of a person who has mistaken accumulation for nourishment. We live in a country that worships this hunger..." reformedjournal.com/2025/11/08/t...

The government has been shutdown for a total of 128 days ever. Trump has been president for 75 of those days.

Bingo.

What could go wrong?

Translation: "No one is saying..."

Huuuuge if true.

Looking for an exit from the (over)reactivity loop.

I'm sorry, what?

Waiting for the retractions from elected officials who rushed to blame the left for the murder of CK, now that the killer turned out to be a white, gun-loving, conservative male. 🦗🦗🦗

You don't get to decry a lack of empathy when the person you idolized literally despised the concept.

Agree.

Guns should never be used on other human beings, and violence should never be the path to solving our political disagreements. Prayers for Charlie Kirk, and for all who mourn the loss of a loved one at the hands of a gun. We can and must do better, starting now.

Look out for your communities and your neighbors. Know your rights. Film things that you see happening. Authoritarians thrive on your silence. Be loud for America. ~J.B. Prizker

"What President Trump is doing is unprecedented and unwarranted. It is illegal, it is unconstitutional. It is un-American.” @govpritzker.illinois.gov

Not interested in living in a police state. Or an autocratic one. Or fascist. Honestly amazed at how silent my conservative friends are about all this.

Just learned that James Dobson, founder of Focus on the Family has died. What is your take on his legacy?

Turns out that sometimes when a flight is at one o'clock, they mean 1AM. I learned that about nine hours too late. #missedflight ✈️

In honor of the summer solstice, my travel plans require me to be up for 25 straight hours. 🌞😴

Waiting for a flight to Madrid. Feels like a good time to leave the country.

Pilgrimage prep! I am deeply fortunate to be able to go to Spain not once this summer, but twice. First up: Walking the Ramparts, A Pilgrimage with Teresa of Avila and John of the Cross. These words from St. Teresa feel timely: "To have courage for whatever comes in life — everything lies in that."

"There's a reason you separate military and the police. One fights the enemies of the state, the other serves and protects the people. When the military becomes both, then the enemies of the state tend to become the people." - Commander William Adama, Battlestar Galactica

New Pope Leo XIV: Christians should "see the immigrant as a gift to our nation" and "welcome the stranger." He is an American.

West Wing shade. Here for it.

The solutions are obvious if you are willing to think out of the box.

One hundred days of this administration is like a thousand years in the sight of the Lord.

Art of the deal!

Trump is the kind of president Russia installs to screw another country up.

Reminder: If your Easter table isn't big enough for immigrants, queer folks, or trans folks, Jesus isn't at your table. He's at the other table with those you excluded.

Astonishingly horrific.

How would you describe this administration in two words? I'll try: brazenly corrupt.

"This isn't a battle of your choosing. But it is the battle for which you will always be judged. This is the moment you must show the world and history which side of the Edmund Pettis Bridge you are standing on." -Stuart Stevens

Keep this energy! Keep calling him small and weak and impotent. Insecure men hate that shit. His ego will compel him to actually fix this.

This from @pubtheologian.bsky.social works better when it becomes a meme/image:

“If I understand this correctly, the US president has launched a trade war against the world, believes he can force the EU and China to meet his terms, is determined to annex Canada and Greenland, but is powerless before the sovereign might of El Salvador. Is that it?” ~Steve Inskeep, NPR

Return Abrego Garcia.

This kid gets it.

There's always a tweet!

All of this—every single bit—was preventable.

Welp.

Posted this a month ago. A month! It has only gotten worse.

This trade war is going to destroy the United States. Republicans in Congress have the power to do something about it. But will they?

Liberation day according to Jesus: "Good news to the poor. Welcome for the stranger. Freedom for prisoners. Sight for the blind. Setting the oppressed free." Acc. to Trump: "Bad news for the poor. Deportation of the foreigner. Tax cuts for the rich. Sending the prophets to prison. All the tariffs."

Incredible 🔥

Empty chair town hall in District 1 in northern Michigan with a cardboard cut out of our constantly MIA MAGA Rep, Jack Bergman. He hasn't done a town hall since 2017. Auditorium holds 400 and it was full. Hundreds more in overflow and via live stream. He says Soros paid us to be there:) Coward!
