The beachside restaurant on Union Island we visited last night was destroyed by Beryl last year and now consists of a tarp covered kitchen and a few plywood tables. Tarps were courtesy of USAID. That won’t be happening again.

Want to know who are mounting legal challenges right now to Trumps illegal attempts to impose authoritarian rule? Here are some groups that have stepped up and deserve our support. This info is based on Just Security's excellent litigation tracker: www.justsecurity.org/107087/track...

I am begging every Democratic committee, PAC, and candidate to get control of your damn email program right now and stop sending tone deaf fundraising emails that have nothing to do with what's happening. Stop listening to focus groups from a month ago. Stop the 2 approved talking points.

I honestly believe our most powerful position in a toxic time that feeds on cynicism, apathy,& despair is to genuinely care and act for a better world. Cynicism is our enemy. We should check it, incl. on the left. It’s not intellectually superior. It’s the virus they’re trying to infect us with. NO

Dolphin like hanging around boats. When underway they apparently have fun “surfing” the underwater turbulence of your bow wake. But we’re at anchor and this guy has been here four a long while. And we don’t even have any fish 🍣

The author is mistaken. The Evangelical movement has for many decades been characterized by bigotry, hypocrisy, misogyny and cruelty thinly veiled by a veneer of false piety. Trump is exactly what they really want. apple.news/A-H05GchCTDS...
