I'm about to be set free of a role handled for 45 years. Preacher/hubby is retiring! I still love Jesus, not so sure about my siblings in Christ. Working on it.

At a hockey game this weekend, Canadians loudly booed the US national anthem—and then turned around and proudly sang their own with full-throated joy. The contrast couldn’t have been clearer.

Oh

So a president who never revealed his #TaxReturns due to being audited every single year is destroying world wide aid programs because of what?

Guess they didn't background check any of the j6 pardons. Shocking

"The buck stops here"- Harry Truman "I don't take any responsibility at all."- DJT

"All persons born or naturalized in the United States, and subject to the jurisdiction thereof, are citizens of the United States and of the State wherein they reside." Written right there in the Constitution. The President cannot change that with the stroke of a pen.

The American refugee system, which Trump is dismantling, was put into place in response to America’s shameful failure to provide refuge to Jews persecuted by Hitler

Donald Trump whines that he's been waiting 2 seconds to see South Korean troops on a screen at the Commander-in-Chief Ball, and he doesn't know how technology works. He then proceeds to ask them how Kim Jong Un is doing...the dictator of North Korea. 🤦‍♀️

Happy MLK Day.

I love this so much! At the inauguration, Justice Ketanji Brown Jackson wore a distinctive collar adorned with cowrie shells, which are believed to offer protection from evil in African traditions. This choice mirrors the late Justice Ginsburg’s practice of using collars to convey a message.

Hi, I’m God. I had nothing to do with saving that guy’s life or making him president.

When I heard about Donald’s last-minute venue change, I immediately called him out on it, saying: “Trump’s moving inauguration inside because it’s too cold for the big baby. Also, he didn’t want the visuals of another small crowd. Pathetic.”

Andrew Tate has lost his final appeal in court, he is now facing 20 years in prison. Tate is currently under house arrest for child rape. This charge is part of a 2nd case that includes charges for human trafficking, trafficking a minor, influencing statements & money laundering. #OpDeathEaters

Everything here is brand new, on trend, and the evacuees are welcome to it. Altadena Girls pairs teenagers who lost their belongings in the Eaton Fire with stylists who help them rebuild their closets – and their self-esteem – for free. www.kcrw.com/news/shows/k...

Accountability is big in Christian circles, I hear.

The next four years will have to be all about charity-fiscal, emotional, personal…we are going to have to be kinder than we’ve ever been to each other, and more ruthless than we’ve ever been to the opposition. Buckle up.

Totally this.

I see the Democratic weather machine is doing great work again, forcing that inauguration inside. Well done, climate controllers.

It's hard being lectured on morality by men who cheat on their wives. As they sternly quote the words of the Bible, and tell you to pull the log out of your eye, when you have never once gotten hammered drunk and fucked random people behind the back of your spouse hundreds of times.

My heart is broken. Mostly I've been angry lately, but today I'm just very very sad. We are losing everything that makes America great and replacing it with hate and stupidity. The America I know and love will never be the same. I'm so very very sad. This is a tragic loss.

I don’t know who did this, but thank you 🤣

It's an old song. But I think it has a vibe for today's stress. youtu.be/gp5JCrSXkJY?...

Hi, I’m God. I created sunshine and weed. I’m not mad at California libruhls.

Grateful for the bravery of these volunteers. Minnesota stands with our neighbors in California now and in the long recovery ahead. www.mprnews.org/episode/2025...

Can Elon Musk do for TikTok what he did for Twitter (kill it)??? www.bloomberg.com/news/article...

Dear Modern Humans, You thought you were so much smarter than people from the Middle Ages. But you're not. Why do you think the dark ages lasted so long? It was because of greedy, insane despots who crushed progress and dangerous thoughts. It won't end until you rise up and overthrow them all.

Can’t wait for Jack Smith’s report to come out. “I just want to find 11,780 votes.”

As long as we’re renaming places, I’m renaming ‘Texas’ as ‘Old Mexico.’

When a hurricane struck North Carolina, Republicans lied about FEMA. When a terrorist attacked New Orleans, Republicans lied about immigration. When wildfires hit Los Angeles, Republicans lied about fire dept. funding and DEI. Exploiting tragedy is part of the GOP playbook. Helping victims is not.

To whom are you beholden?

Hard to reconcile the nation that put a man on the moon is the same nation that put a moron in the White House.

Honoring lives lost in Altadena 🙏🏽

I’m sorry but the fact that Congress is about to throw immigrants under the bus at the very same time that countless immigrants in California are risking their lives to protect neighborhoods many of them could never aspire live in is breaking my brain in a whole new way.

The actuaries believe in climate change.

This is irrefutably true. Let’s see how long it lasts.

One of these things is not like the others.

Jesus weeps.

It is odd to me to watch President Carter's casket be received at an Episcopal Cathedral. High church for high honors. Rest in Peace, Mr. President. Well done, sir.

VP Kamala Harris: "Today, I did what I have done my entire career, which is take seriously the oath that I have taken many times to support and defend the Constitution of the United States."

We need to be laser focused on protecting norms and institutions. Thats why it’s very good that Kamala Harris is doing this
