If you are overwhelmed by all the cruelty and tempted into hopelessness, you are a good person and on the right side of history. Those in power want nothing more than to steal your hope and drive you into apathy. Keeping your empathy and hope alive is an act of resistance.

At this point, I think you have to assume that anyone who still campaigns as a Republican is a Trump supporter, no matter what they say.

Imagine claiming your god is behind powerful and wealthy people stripping food assistance, healthcare, USAID, environmental protections, food protections, terrorizing immigrants, and senseless wars, then getting so offended when people reject your god.

HOLD UP: on top of countless food recalls & a surging measles outbreak that's killed two people, we now have a COVID surge, too? And the RFK Jr's CDC is downplaying the risk by "bluewashing" of its risk maps, downgrading severity without explanation amid rising transmission." Read this:

The kids these days will hardly believe this, but a mere decade ago, we had a presidential election in which effectively the only issue on the table was the security of communications at the highest level of government.

Hold up. Taylor Farms- the company that grows the tainted lettuce that’s made over 5K people sick in 34 states wants to do what now? Distance itself from the outbreak?! Come on.
The United States is on track to have more cyclospora cases in 2026 than in any previous year. The agency said it was investigating more than 5,100 additional illnesses that may have been caused by the parasite, which is transmitted through food or water contaminated with feces.

On Thursday evening, Taylor Farms executives met with the White House and the Food and Drug Administration to try to distance the company from the outbreak and air concerns about the official investigations into the outbreak.

A Christianity rooted in patriarchy will always define women first and foremost by their relationship to men. A Christianity rooted in the gospel of Jesus will see women first and foremost as human beings created in God's image. May we understand the difference.

"To announce that there must be no criticism of the President, or that we are to stand by the President, right or wrong, is not only unpatriotic and servile, but is morally treasonable to the American public"

This quote comes from Theodore Roosevelt, written in May 1918 during World War I, in an opinion piece for The Kansas City Star. The essay was titled “Lincoln and Free Speech.”

At that time, the U.S. was in the middle of World War I under President Woodrow Wilson. The country had passed the Espionage Act (1917) and Sedition Act (1918), which made it illegal to criticize the government or the war effort. Many people, including journalists, activists, and even clergy were being silenced or jailed for dissent.

Roosevelt, though himself a former president and a staunch patriot, was deeply concerned by this suppression of free speech. He argued that true patriotism requires the right to criticize one’s leaders, especially in times of crisis. Blind loyalty, he said, was not patriotism but a form of moral treason.

Here’s the full paragraph from Roosevelt’s essay for context:

“The President is merely the most important among a large number of public servants. He should be supported or opposed exactly to the degree which is warranted by his good conduct or bad conduct, his efficiency or inefficiency in rendering loyal, able, and disinterested service to the Nation as a whole. Therefore it is absolutely necessary that there should be full liberty to tell the truth about his acts, and this means that it is exactly as necessary to blame him when he does wrong as to praise him when he does right.

Any other attitude in an American citizen is both base and servile. To announce that there must be no criticism of the President, or that we are to stand by the President, right or wrong, is not only unpatriotic and servile, but is morally treasonable to the American public. Nothing but the truth should be spoken about him or any one else. But it is even more important to tell…

This is a favorite strawman of the Religious Right, asserting that the exact phrase "separation of church and state" isn't in the Constitution. They ignore that there are only three references to religion in the entire Constitution, all three of which work to separate church and state.

That millions of people at #NoKings yesterday isn't today's New York Times' headline is shameful. That the only mention is way down the page, doesn't mention the number of protesters, but does talk about Pro-Trump counter-protesters, like that was a factor, seems intentional. Don't trust the NYT.

The second half of this clip suggests that ICE agents probably won’t actually screen travelers/bags but rather will do collateral stuff like ensure no one enters secure areas through exit doors. A more effective idea to shorten lines: fund TSA separately from ICE/CBP, as Dems propose!
