Yes. And how do that is to do what you know to be right and just all the way through. Dolly showing up for queer and trans people, for example, was not the easy or crowd-pleasing move, especially for her audience. And she funded a vaccine that got *incredibly* politicized. For example.

Abbott Laboratories donated $500,000 to Trump’s inauguration fund. Trump bought around $500,000 worth of shares in Abbott stock last year. His DOJ just dropped a years-long criminal investigation into Abbott for potential deadly misconduct. Everything is for sale.

You and your wife drop your 6-year-old off at school. You just moved here. You see ICE terrorizing your new neighbors. You film them, as is your legal right. Your wife complies with orders. She is then shot in the head. You still have to pick up your child later today. This could be you.
Distraught woman says ICE killed her wife in video after deadly Minneapolis shooting
"They killed my wife," the distraught woman says, adding, "They shot her in the head."
An ICE agent shot and killed a 37-year-old woman who was driving an SUV in Minneapolis on Wednesday. / Screenshot/@Breaking911"They killed my wife. I don't know what to do," the woman says through sobs in the footage, with a damaged SUV visible in the distance behind her. "We stopped to videotape, and they shot her in the head," the woman cries.
"We have a six-year-old at school," she says, almost unable to breathe, as a chaotic scene in which federal officers prevented at least one doctor who was on the scene from assisting the shot victim unfolds. "We're new here," the distraught woman says in despair.

Laura Rodriguez, on Twitter:

A federal agent points a weapon at a woman who was recording them.

Jess, a U.S. citizen and member of a neighborhood patrol team that documents and shares ICE activity across the city, was filming when the incident occurred earlier today in the Berwyn area.

If I wasn’t clear: Tikvah Fund, which is run by one billionaire, funds a TON of stuff in the US conservative (political, not denominational) Jewy ecosystem, and it turns out they funded Bibi’s book translation to Hebrew RIGHT before the 2022 election, thus helping prop up this monster’s regime.

This is devastating for so many. If you've got any $$ to share, Danya's right: Planned Parenthood and your local abortion fund need support now more than ever. As a pastor, please let me assure you that so many folks you know and love rely on these services for their well-being.

Yes, “disaster” is the correct word – this is a public health catastrophe. The pressure for him to resign should begin tonight, and continue until it happens. Nothing else should be in front of this. Go to a 19th century cemetery anywhere in this country to know why.

BREAKING: Federal agents in plain clothes and unmarked cars tried to snatch 1st graders from LA elementary schools—told staff they had “parental consent.” They lied. When pressed, they HID THEIR IDS. DHS admits they sent them. This wasn’t a welfare check. It was a test run for a police state.
