It's freaking complicated, and that's purposeful. We must overturn citizens United. Enough is enough. I know 90% of us are tired of being gaslighted every damn minute by people with more money than morals.

To those who claim the label “Christian “ and who insist global warming/climate collapse isn’t real, pop quiz: What is the first commandment? No, not that one. Older: “Tend the GARDEN, and take care of it.”

When the president of the United States calls the Russian premier for talking points before a meeting, AND calls him immediately after with a report on the meeting, He is working for the Russian premier. Every businessman knows this is how subordinates act. Trump is subordinate to Putin.

Re Kimmel etc: These late night shows, and particularly their hosts, are the modern day jesters. Most people just think jesters were entertainers, but their real job was calling out what was really happening: who was scheming, who was skimming, whatever- so the ruler would have accurate info.

I really don’t get the super-rich crowd’s denial of global warming. They know it’s real. Do they really think they can live in their fortresses forever? When there are NO crops, NO escape from the heat; I could go on but y’all get it….

“Once to every (man) and nation comes the moment to decide; In the strife with truth and falsehood, for the good or evil side; Some great cause, God’s new Messiah, Off’ring each the bloom or blight, And the choice goes by forever ‘Twist that darkness and that light.”

The Obama and Biden administrations focused immigration enforcement on threats to national security and public safety, utilizing a system of legal review and judicial orders for deportations. It was about smart, lawful enforcement, not sweeping, indiscriminate removals that bypass the courts.

Pope Francis’s "Urbi et Orbi" Easter speech: “How much contempt is stirred up at times towards the vulnerable, the marginalized and migrants...I appeal to all those in positions of political responsibility in our world not to yield to the logic of fear which only leads to isolation from others.”

Kenyan #journalist Alvin Kaunda was reporting live from Nairobi when a curious baby #elephant, Kindani, decided to join the broadcast. The playful elephant stuck her trunk in Alvin's mouth, making for a hilarious moment! A joyful reminder of wildlife's charm and the work of the Sheldrick Trust!
