Hi, I'm God. Human beings should not be thrown into prisons without due process. Even Jesus got a hearing.

“Retaliatory action from the executive branch that appears to undermine this foundation demands our unwavering scrutiny and a resounding response,” www.nytimes.com/2025/04/25/u...

REPUBLICANS removing funding for advocacy programs for vulnerable children. Disgusting. Without these funds, the work of CASA/GAL programs across the country will be impacted along with more than 200,000 children involved in child abuse and neglect proceedings. nationalcasagal.org/national-cas...

The lesson of history is that tyrants cannot be appeased.  Appeasement only feeds their insatiable hunger for power. Tyrants prey on people who feel unsafe and vulnerable.  But without mass submission, a tyrant is powerless.

Trump gazed upon this assemblage of corporate courtiers from a White House balcony and announced that “We’re going to honor Jesus Christ very powerfully.” wapo.st/4jlEK48

Homeland Security Secretary can’t secure her own purse.

Security Secretary Cosplay Kristy Noem had her purse snatched. Lost security ID and tons of cash. Petty theft with a full security team? Seems Incompetence is a Trump theme.

I have to assume that Kristi Noem had $3,000 in cash because she had just sold children to a human trafficking ring, and it would have been $10,000 but she had just made a drop for some Fentanyl that she was on her way to pick up.

@jasmineforus.bsky.social: Abrego Garcia "a lot less criminal than the person that's sitting in the White House because last time I checked, he didn't have any criminal convictions."

So are we still more upset about Diverse, but qualified, yet presumed unqualified hires, than DUI hires? (Asking for anyone who cares about US National Security) Pete Hegseth needs to go for the safety of the United States & the allies that we still have.

Leave it to Texas to always act like boobs about stuff that should not matter. www.washingtonpost.com/dc-md-va/202...

This fucker will monetize anything.

Happy Easter, EVERYONE!! 👇 Seemed. Appropriate. Today. 😎✨

Last night was the 250th anniversary of Paul Revere's midnight ride to warn the Minutemen of approaching British troops. I want to take a moment to share an excerpt from the Declaration of Independence's grievances against King George III. Remind you of anyone?

Autism isn’t an epidemic. It's not a disease. It’s a natural variation in how people think…which, frankly, is a relief in a world where most people don't think at all.

ICE officers are now reportedly required to meet arrest quotas each day, from a few hundred to between 1,200 and 1,500 nationwide. Jonathan Blitzer reports on the mystery of the agency’s unidentifiable arrests.

His whole presidency (both the past and present) has been about ripping off the American people for as much as he possibly could get away with…👇 And now, there’s this BULLSHIT!

Turns out you can shape the agenda with dramatic action and maybe even shift public opinion. Crazy.

It’s time for a comprehensive national civic uprising. It’s time for Americans in universities, law, business, nonprofits and the scientific community, and civil servants and beyond to form one coordinated mass movement. www.nytimes.com/2025/04/17/o...

A #squirrel gets gently brushed and clearly enjoys it. When the scratching stops, it taps for more. This reaction is common in #mammals, as grooming and gentle touch can trigger calming responses and even release endorphins.

The turnout in small towns across the country has been incredible drawing crowds of thousands. We’re already seeing over one million in attendance nationwide, and events are still underway. Florida, North Carolina, South Carolina, and Ohio all had especially surprising showings.

One of our own Blue Ridge Young Democrats is fighting for her community and against the harmful effects of Trump's tariff taxes. She developed a local food source map for Virginia. Thanks Olivia! www.google.com/maps/d/u/0/v... . Read more here - www.newsleader.com/story/news/l...

In the end, Trump’s 100 days, and his presidency generally, will be judged harshly for what they were not. “We remember great civilizations for their great achievements.” Scientific advancement. Contributions to arts and letters. Human progress. Trump is reversing them all. wapo.st/3RWUWg8

The good news is that the constitution provides ways for Congress and the Judiciary to reign in a power-hungry president. The bad news is those people are all scared of him.

Sounds about right…👇 Doesn’t it?! 🤚

Enough said. 💥

We can honor the sacrifices of the Minutemen on the field; we can also recognize that what they fought for was the right to speak up.” “Dissent,” she added, “is part of patriotism.” www.washingtonpost.com/opinions/202...

Let’s be clear. When the President defies the Supreme Court, it is the role of Congress to remove him from office. Full stop.

I just landed in San Salvador a little while ago, and I look forward to meeting with the team at the U.S. embassy to discuss the release of Mr. Abrego Garcia. I also hope to meet with Salvadoran officials and with Kilmar himself. He was illegally abducted and needs to come home.

“We do not want to risk losing the House by doing this,” Hogg said. But “simply being somewhere for a long time should not be the litmus test of whether or not you remain in that position,” he added. wapo.st/4lw2GTR

He writes that “oaks are top life-support trees in 84 percent of counties in North America, which is just about every county in which they occur.” For example, oaks in Pennsylvania support 511 species of moths and butterflies — nearly 100 more than the next closest genus. wapo.st/42x4u6n

“Sickening and heartbreaking” Someone who was at the Marge Greene town hall where folks who dissented were arrested/targeted/tased by police — who has voted for both parties — writes about what she saw 👇🏽
