My deeply Catholic mother said to me today, "On Easter our dear lord died beside two criminals. The Pope had to sit with J. D. Vance in his final hours." Burn.

So MAGA needs to run down and buy a Tesla to support Musk, but their disabled vet neighbor who just lost his job at the VA is a lazy SOB taking advantage of a bloated government and deserves to be unemployed. They do worship their heroes to the extreme.

i think it is important to say that the open and explicit racism of the president and the vice president isn’t just uncouth or “controversial” but a direct attack on tens of millions of americans and a dereliction of their duty to represent the entire country

Earnest post, but: a thing I like here is it’s okay to have moments of happiness in public without being broadly scolded, and I believe that sustaining this kind of humanity will be very important as we resist fascism. We have to sustain each other. Making joy isn’t denial, it’s how we will survive

Fun fact: If you were half as reckless, irresponsible and prejudiced in your words, deeds and actions as the President of the United States, you'd probably get fired from your job.

BREAKING: Philadelphia workers have won the first Whole Foods union under Amazon with UFCW. Since Amazon bought the chain, workers have lost benefits and felt the squeeze. Now they're fighting back against the multi-trillion dollar giant and hoping this win will be the first of many.

This is unbelievable. There is no possible way water can flow from the PNW to California. The Columbia River flows into the Pacific at Astoria, Oregon, and there’s no river or body of water that continues south from Washington state beyond that.

This same Christian Nationalist symbol is tattooed on the guy they just confirmed. Hegseth has raged against Muslims while drunk in public. He’s told racist jokes about Mexicans according to his sister-in-law. We know what he’s about and why he has that tattoo. So disgraceful.

I’m gonna tell you what I told our community: Every single day, find a bit of joy. It’s essential. Surround yourself with things & people that uplift you. Put something in every room of your house that sparks joy for you. Do not let anyone take away your right to joy (שִׂמְחָה in Hebrew) Esp now
