I'd rather spend $70 billion to support immigrants rather than to hunt and cage them.

But sadly we do not live in that world

“I despise your political rallies; I cannot stomach your faith-themed freedom festivals. Your patriotic worship events leave me utterly cold." ~Amos 5:21, The "America 250" Adaptation

"I don’t think about Americans’ financial situation. I don’t think about anybody." Actual quote from the President of the United States.

If your pastor venerates a golden statue, it's time to find a new church. If your representative supports a $1 billion ballroom, it's time to find a new representative. If your President starts a forever war to distract from the Epstein files, it's time to find a new President.

So tired of everything

Imagine if we all walked into the world with the belief that each person was inherently worthy. Imagine if our goal was to help each other recognize that we are worthy of being loved. Imagine if we sought to listen more than we spoke. ~Mr. Rogers

Good morning.

Amazing how MAGA folks finally get a little upset over something the President does: post a social media image where he depicts himself as Jesus—but didn't blink when he was convicted of sexual assault, was best friends with a pedophile, and when his entire life mocks everything Jesus stood for.

True TDS is Trump Devotion Syndrome. And it threatens us all.

“Trump went from making insane genocidal threats this morning to hyping the ‘golden age’ of Iran hours later, and he received no concessions in between. He’s an absolute basket case who needs to be removed from power before he follows through on one of his mass murder fantasies.” ~Aaron Rupar

Even if it turns out he's bluffing, or pulls his usual TACO move, we simply CANNOT have leaders who speak and act this way. It is destabilizing on every front.

I can think of a country that is in desperate need of a regime change.

Awesome showing in Holland, MI today! #NoKings

"Concepts of a plan" energy

Just kidding—I know exactly who needs to hear this.

I don't know who needs to hear this, but Iran did not blow up their own school full of their own children.

I feel this

Same.

The New Noem's Name is Markwayne from Oklahoma. Buckle up.

Incredible how they don't see the irony 🤷

"the art of war" by León Ferrari, crafted in 1965.

NPR: Uncovered files reveal Trump sexually assaulted a 13-year-old girl. Gone tomorrow?

Whoops.

Starts war with Iran. Stops. "I have now ended NINE major wars!"

Surely war with Iran will force the Nobel Peace Prize committee to finally take notice!

One of the worst parts of all of this? That they never. stop. lying. It's exhausting.

Monday mornings and fascism always get me down.

I'm old enough to remember when Presidents didn't threaten to destroy their own country.

As the erudite Allison Gill of @muellershewrote.com put it: Check yourself.

Happy Presidents' Day

i.e. "We'll just stay in power"

This is where we are in 2026, America. A Representative with actual principles feels a need to post this publicly. What the actual f@$k.

I mean...

I've heard worse ideas.

Frankly, it is still astonishing to me that someone with this lack of intellect could ever get an entry-level job, let alone become President of the United States. It will take years and possibly decades to undo the damage.

Please click to OP and read the entire thread. Revealing and damning.

Sigh, just another day where we have yet to see a powerful male held accountable for sex-trafficking children.

Why isn’t every politician, leader, prosecutor, and news channels focused on this. The President is accused with significant proof of killing and raping minors.

Oh, snap

Checks out.

Jack White gets it.

Yet one more "any other person would be fired" moment. There's a long and growing list.
