Trying to watch Yankees/Phillies game but Girardi & Kruk only want to talk about ties and toothbrushing.

Just listened to Cardinal Tobin of Newark NJ on PBS Newshour last night. I like Geoff Bennett, but I think he missed the Cardinal’s main point: everyone is entitled to be treated with human dignity, a phrase he repeated several times. That is what the ICE goon squad will never understand.

Oh yes, they were just being "responsible stewards." Returning the show to their stations after "thoughtful discussions." Actually, they were losing vast amounts of money because of public outrage, so they backed down. Good job, everybody. #USDemocracy #Voices4Victory

Just finished reading Danielle Sassoon’s letter of resignation over the Adams’ case. Then I read Bove’s appalling response to her. What a stark contrast between her understanding of a prosecutor’s integrity and his.

Beautiful speech by Vice President Harris. Again, a blessing that President Carter’s funeral could be held under the current administration. RIP Mr President.

This is just a reminder that most of us are vetting.
Most of us are vetting new accounts before we follow them. This eliminates MAGA, or porn accounts.

If you see our reply from a troll under one of your posts, it is both helpful and important to: 1) Block them 2) Click on the three little dots below their post and click “hide for everyone” Engaging with trolls in any way encourages them to stay here and be more active. Give them no oxygen.
