I’m waiting at the pediatrician with my teenager and a TEENY TINY NEWBORN BABY was just called back for their turn and her name is Maxine. The old lady names are so back, y’all.

No spoilers, but y’all need to go see Thunderbolts* ASAP. This is the best of what superhero storytelling does for us! (IK they’re antiheroes, I guess I just mean comics writing as a genre.)

Walz: You have a situation where the Secretary of Health basically said it and was speaking with the language of eugenics, that some people just don't matter. People like Deanna's son or my son or those of you listening tonight. So look, this is a fight we must win.

During his first term, Trump raked in millions from at least 20 foreign governments—violating what Trump calls “the phony Emoluments Clause.”

Perfect casting, no notes. 🧑‍🍳 😘

I feel like we need to keep saying this because it’s so insane: This is a legal U.S. resident who has been detained for over a month now for his political opinions.

This Rivian family is very happy with our R1T and (even though my teenagers and I *do* enjoy “boo”ing every Tesla we see driving around town…) this is a great deal!

Tradition states that last night Jesus emptied out all the jails. Spent Saturday night telling people “I don’t care what you did, people weren’t made for prisons.” The next day to prove His point He broke out of solitary. It is finished. Easter is incompatible with the carceral state. Happy Easter.

Marie Antoinette had “Let them eat cake,” and Donald Trump has “Let them roll eggs.” 😐

Trump's education cuts steal $2,000 from EVERY Kentucky student — and even more from our vulnerable children. His administration punishes children in poverty, with disabilities, and experiencing homelessness the hardest. Don't let the KY GOP lead you to believe they care about Kentucky's kids.

Good Friday feels like a fine day to wear my shirt celebrating the women who led in New Testament churches.

These stories landed today, within 11 hours of each other. This presidential administration is a clear and present danger to the American people.

Taking “constituent services” to the max. Well done, Senator @vanhollen.senate.gov.

Feels like a good time to be reviewing the Geneva Conventions

A Florida county is detaining and refusing to release a U.S. citizen born in the U.S., after ICE asked the county to detain him: floridaphoenix.com/2025/04/17/u...

The innocence of Abrego Garcia, Merwil Gutiérrez, and an estimated 90% of the people sent to El Salvador proves this was never about “criminals”. It’s about racism. It’s about state terror. It’s about dehumanization. Fascism takes hold when people stay silent. It’s up to all of us to speak up.

The head of our country’s government is in the early stages of consolidating total power. We must of course reject this, but that is not enough. We have to respond by creating a different and better kind of American politics than we have seen before.

Reminder that hiding Jewish people was a crime during the Third Reich. Corrie Ten Boom, for example, was sent to a concentration camp and tortured because she helped save Jews from the Nazi regime. When you start putting fascists in power, it’s amazing what becomes “criminal.”

@marisakabas.bsky.social identifies seven GOP reps who were welcomed to tour Trump's concentration camp the day before they refused Van Hollen entry: Ron Estes (KS) Kevin Hern (OK) Mike Kennedy (UT) Carol Miller (WV) Riley Moore (WV) Jason Smith (MO) Claudia Tenney (NY)

My latest —

This is important for us to all be aware of. If you don’t know where they’re coming from, you might not see where they’re leading:

just wait until the church ladies realize how expensive VBS will be because they get 90% of their stuff from Oriental Trading Company

I’m so thankful I broke free from the eternal conscious torment view of hell years ago. This observation by @josiahhawthorne.bsky.social is spot on. If you’re Christian (or used to be) and wondering how Christians can be okay with what’s happening in the USA right now…

If your church is silent about #KilmarÁbregoGarcía this Sunday, you should walk out and never go back. They don't give as shit about the teachings of Jesus. #CancelEaster johnpavlovitz.substack.com/p/if-your-ch...
