In Malawi, Theresa Kachindamoto has annulled thousands of child marriages, facilitating girls' return to school. She also sanctions local leaders and works with communities to transform practices harmful to vulnerable women and girls.

In Austin, a 9-year-old watched ICE detain and drive away with his mother, leaving community members to scramble to find him care. Senate Republicans just blocked a bill that would bar ICE from making arrests at school bus stops. Their cruelty is endless.

Early voting is already underway in some states. From now until Nov 3, I urge you all to... 1) Help get out the vote 2) Protect our electoral machinery from interference 3) Not succumb to complacency, defeatism, or cynicism We are the only ones who can end this nightmare.

This was a part of the 2025 manifesto. All Republicans knew it was the plan. All Republicans have supported Trump & his nominees to enact & carry out the plan. When they pretend they are concerned about its effects on their constituents, they aren’t. Hold them all accountable!

Subverting democracy isn't new to John Roberts, Brett Kavanaugh, or Amy Coney Barrett. All three were on George W. Bush's "Florida Recount Team," which lay the groundwork for stopping vote counting in Florida—and Bush v. Gore, the politically-motivated SCOTUS decision that gave Bush the election.

So what Christian theology tells us is that God created imperfect humans, and then punishes them for their imperfection. That’s not exactly the loving, just, merciful god they claim. Christian theology is incoherent. Therefore their god cannot possibly exist.
