@booker.senate.gov: "Are we a nation that is going to tolerate this, or a nation that's going to stand up? As the great Frederick Douglass said, 'the limits of tyrants are prescribed by the people that they seek to oppress.' How much will we endure before we say enough is enough?"

Christian pollster and researcher George Barna confirmed this decades ago. Religious beliefs formed before age 13 are likely the beliefs that people will carry the rest of their lives. By age 15, the odds of converting someone not raised in religion drops off dramatically.

Rep. Juan Ciscomani (R, gerrymandering), who is my “representative”, said he was against cutting Medicaid 3 weeks before he voted to cut Medicaid. I called his office in DC to remind him that Medicaid doesn’t just support people, it supports healthcare infrastructure. He’s a liar. 5calls.org

OR GOP chair Jerry Cummings’ ex-wife said the couple met in the Portland area when she was 16 and he was 26, and serving as an associate pastor. “On occasion, he would visit [her] when her parents were out of town and take her to hotels." www.wweek.com/news/2025/04...

Fear has a way of being contagious. But courage is also contagious.

Figured I’d hop on here today for the 15th anniversary of the Affordable Care Act. With everything going on right now, it’s easy to feel like regular folks can’t make a difference – but the ACA is a reminder that change is possible when we fight for progress.

Yes, and... ?

Propaganda is America's poison of choice.

They're moving to classify constitutionally protected speech as terrorism. This is a five alarm fire.

He’s gone too far now

The threat of Christian Nationalism is very real. It seeks to undermine secular government & impose Christianity's rules on all of us. It's not surprising that a Christian academic isn't super worried about that.

Drunk on power and ketamine. This is Musk and the foreign minister of Poland. This is what I mean about Musk as the "over-mighty subject". His power is too great for anyone else to be fully free.

Donald Trump is currently getting thousands of Ukrainians killed by withholding support and Starlink connectivity--*while* he is promoting ethnic cleansing to build casinos and condos in Gaza.

What a different world we could have.

A federal judge rules Trump cannot fire the head of Federal watchdog agency - Office of Special Counsel- without cause & therefore is unlawful. The agency protects whistle-blowers. www.nytimes.com/2025/03/01/u...

Americans in red states are mad because they feel they are being left behind. There many structural forces working against the economies of rural areas and fixing then is complex and likely untenable (e.g. effects of Walmart/Amazon on local economies).

HEY EVERYONE REMEMBER WHEN TRUMP WAS IMPEACHED FOR DENYING AID TO UKRAINE BECAUSE HE WANTED ZELENSKY TO LIE AND SAY BAD THINGS ABOUT BIDEN AND ZELENKSY WOULDN’T DO IT? Maybe literally one fucking American newspapers could mention this in their, “think pieces,” about what happened yesterday.
