I’m tickled that the birds choose my patio as a place to congregate. Sweet birdsong trumps nasty social media any day of the week.

Downloaded DuckDuckGo today in response to Google’s craven attempt to appease he who must not be named. So far I’m really liking it! #duckduckgo

Father protests after ICE raid elementary bus stop. "I've never protested before in my entire life, But then I watched 4th & 5th grade kids run away from their own government. I never want to see a child run away from our own government again."🇺🇸

Two cups of coffee, fed the dog, fed the cat, fed the wild birds, played MapTap and didn’t humiliate myself. All in all it’s a good start to the day.

I’ll be honest, with the divisions in America running so deep, I don’t see how we make it out of this without a messy national divorce.

In record numbers, the Conservative American Church is consistently and surely making Atheists—or at the very least, it is making former Christians; people who no longer consider organized religion an option because the Jesus they recognize is absent. johnpavlovitz.substack.com/p/the-exodus...

The Exodus From Christianity Has Been Caused by Christians

Growing up in the Church, I was taught that the worst thing one could be was a non-believer; that nothing was as tragic as a doomed soul that condemned itself by rejecting God.

Good morning, beloved. Thoughts and prayers without conviction and action go straight to God’s spam folder. Today is a great day to overcome evil with good.

To oppress or work against the foreigner in your land is to blatantly disregard God’s commands in the Bible.

My dachshund, Oliver, was lying on the patio this morning when this naive young squirrel came up trying to lie down with him. There was a moment when their eyes met and no one moved. Then hijinks ensued.

Any time I see anything about the military birthday parade, somewhere in the back of my head a historically-inaccurate Roman gladiator growls, "The time for honoring yourself will soon be at an end... Highness."

Just read a post from an old friend on FB where he shared a Fox News link on Elon Musk and said this is exactly what he wanted when he voted for Trump. Sigh. Turns out the only person blinder than him is me. I’m the fool who believed people would stand up for each other. Turns out I was wrong.

Chris Murphy: "Everyone who signs up to work for Donald Trump is signing up for one single project, and that is the transition of American democracy to a kind of kleptocratic oligarchy in which the billionaires rule and get to steal from regular Americans."

The ability to support someone or something blindly and without question is a heck of a thing. And yes, I have just gotten done looking at friends on FB spinning the White House meeting yesterday in a way to make 47 and the VP out as heroes. Such delusion!

If you work for ICE I would encourage you to walk away from this job. If you stay you’re likely to get a nasty case of PTSD as well as being hated by society for the rest of your life. Your future self will thank you.

Objectively speaking, Donald Trump is the most unfit person ever to occupy the position of POTUS. Thank you for participating as I shout into the void.

The facts are, the ACA saved millions with pre-existing conditions and set standards for care. But now, more than a decade later, with what we now know, it’s time to take the insurance companies out of the mix. The subsidies they get are enormous. We don’t need them as middlemen.
