We have a madman in the White House who is actively trying to trigger total war. If Jeffries, Schumer, or any other Democratic leaders try to justify this, shrug indifferently, or write a strongly-worded letter and call it a day, they need to step down or be aggressively primaried.

"Habeas corpus is a fundamental legal principle and judicial writ that ensures a person cannot be unlawfully detained. In simple terms, it requires the government to present a valid reason for holding someone in custody."

Some flowers from the garden this morning. 🌱 Contender beans and casper eggplant!

A small three petal purple flower on a green plant that has long thin stems with heart shaped leaves at the end. The plant is planted in the ground with mulch below it and chicken wire behind it.

Allow me to address the elephant in the room: The decades-long outsourcing of domestic manufacturing to China was not an insidious Chinese conspiracy for dominance but the greedy strategy of the American ruling class to explode its profit margins by exploiting global inequality.

A few days ago, President Trump issued an executive order seeking to block all federal funding to NPR, the latest in a series of threats to media organizations across the country.

Public media is under threat. Millions depend on the NPR Network every day. Silencing journalism is one way to silence truth and erode the power of the people. Donate now.

In 1911, a fire broke out on the top floor of the Triangle Shirtwaist Factory. Fires weren't uncommon, but this fire would long be remembered. Because the mostly young, immigrant women who lost their lives that day had been locked inside by their factory bosses... #MayDay aflcio.org/about/histor...

I just want to point out when those in our government are using the word "we" as in "we are doing great", they don't mean me and you. They believe themselves kings and queens so they use the royal "we". 👑

Thanks to my friend Harriet for pointing out that the women went to Christ's tomb and saw he was not there, the angels showed up to describe what happened, & the women then told the apostles, who dismissed them. A Biblical account of women not being believed.

So many Christian folk see people as enemies to be destroyed, not neighbors to be loved. Anyone who cheers for government to deliver Gods wrath is neither government nor God loving. God has both wrath, mercy, empathy, and generosity. I no longer attend church but I never forgot "love thy neighbor".
