Don’t buy stuff on February 28. Money’s the only thing these dicks understand. #resist

Canada will not become a US state, though the US just became a Russian one.

"If the 'DOGE' endeavor is working, why can’t the White House just tell the truth about what it's doing?" www.msnbc.com/rachel-maddo...

His followers can't seem to tell the difference between an amateur magician and an actual miracle worker. They are thrilled and amazed by the quarter behind the ear trick every single time. www.cnn.com/2025/02/04/p...

This whole attack on DEI isn't about the best and the brightest. It's about putting white cis men into positions of power no matter how incompetent they might be. It's the same old bigoted story.

We have the most diverse military in the world, but because Cadet Bonespurs needs to hide his failings, the right has dissed it.

Every victim in that collision was a VIP.

Some of y'all remember that after we lost thousands of people in 9/11, Republican House members ran around the Capitol trying to rename French Fries "Freedom Fries" and French toast "Freedom Toast." Even so, they look like Churchill compared to these idiots.

In a world of compulsive lying in ALL CAPS, be a Bishop Budde.

Philadelphia 11 Priests/Wash 4 Yesterday, I posted Bishop Budde’s response to the teargassing at St. John’s Episcopal Church when Trump posed for his photo op. Below is a response from the priest who was teargassed. From the Introduction of The Story of the Philadelphia Eleven (2024 ed):

The Air Force will stop teaching recruits about the Tuskegee Airmen after an order from Donald Trump. The Tuskegee Airmen were the first Black US military pilots and excelled in combat during World War II.

Victims were still missing after Hurricane Helene, and he lied about recovery efforts, created division and distrust, put lives of people helping at risk--all for his political gain. His Repub cohorts followed his lead. Today, four months later, he swoops into Asheville as if saving the day . . .

Weird that this needs to be said to adults

I first began to admire Bishop Budde after her public admonishment of Trump when he teargassed peaceful protestors for a photo op. I wrote about her in the Intro to The Story of the Philadelphia Eleven (2024 ed). The women's stories are amazing and so very important to our time.

Bishop Budde is a real bishop, but Donald Trump isn't a real Christian. Grow up, MAGA.

"Their resentment and greed . . . these things seep off these men, like a stench. They are evil men, and pathetic ones: mentally small, morally ugly. . . Here is another prediction: these men will not succeed in all their schemes." www.theguardian.com/commentisfre...

Sad, but as true today as it was in 1892. Would have been effective against hatred in 1892 had white people found the courage. And today? #inauguration

Consider supporting the Guardian. Either way, no paywall. As you read this article, remember that Repubs are the most anti-family group in the nation. www.theguardian.com/us-news/ng-i...

"Appalachian Solstice" is the 2nd photo of 3 published last week in San Antonio Review. I haven't been able to return to this part of the Blue Ridge Parkway since Helene. Took this one at solstice sunset in June. www.sareview.org/pub/8gvzkl46.... #photography #blueridgeparkway
