It's so odd that Christian Nationalists are trying to stomp out pretend "anti-Christian bias" when their repudiation of everything Jesus ever said is the biggest example of real "anti-Christian bias" in the United States right now.

It’s just really stark to me that AOC and Bernie are wandering around the nation saying “each of you matter,” and this one Senator from Maryland is saying “fuck it I’m flying to El Salvador for just one legal resident,” and the GOP is… bereft of messages so simple and good. I dunno. Just stark.

Good morning to everyone who loves playing a cleric who makes their party ask nicely for heals during their sessions, and to them only. “You didn’t say please so I guess these cure wounds are going to have to heal Dave because he has manners”

A community protection idea: set up a check-in system with a friend for travel. Text when you arrive at the airport, and then schedule a check-in for a reasonable timeframe afterwards (eg 2 hours). If you have not checked in, have your friend or family member call a lawyer.

Am I depressed because of what's happening or am I depressed because of the people who somehow didn't see it coming? Both. It's both.

Donald Trump may want to call this ‘Liberation Day,’ but there’s nothing liberating for those who are grappling with the high costs of food, housing, and utilities. Tariffs are a tax – a tax on working families, a tax on groceries, and a tax on other everyday necessities.

THERE IS NO SUCH THING AS A “TRADE DEFICIT”—IT’S JUST CALLED “BUYING THINGS.” YOU DO NOT HAVE A TRADE DEFICIT WITH YOUR DENTIST JUST BECAUSE HE NEVER BUYS ANYTHING FROM YOU.

The richest man in the world spent more money than most of us will see in our lifetimes to lose a state Supreme Court race by 10 points. And the fact his $25 million was a drop in the bucket compared to what he's spent on other elections is exactly why we must overturn Citizens United.

. The FCC is investigating Disney for checks notes… DEI programs. The same people screaming about “big government overreach” are now using the government to punish companies for hiring diverse talent. Totally normal not hypocritical at all. #MakeItMakeSense #DEI #Disney .

A real bummer how now if you take a social media break for mental health you just are worried the whole time about what life-altering, world-destructing news you’ll come back to. Best to just never get off

As a Missouri resident, I could see everything that’s happening coming a mile away because they already did it to my state. Defunded schools, kicked kids off Medicaid, refused the will of voters, attacked marginalized communities, and sold off farmland to foreign companies. We knew.

The fact that some of the only things holding me together during these "Unprecedented Unprecedented Times" are: rom coms, the STL Blues 8 win streak, coffee, and TTRPGs is wild

Adding a journalist to a top secret government group chat about dropping bombs IS the kind of thing people who aren’t super politically literate can understand and find shocking/notable/disqualifying. Dems should seize on this and never ever let it go. I hope to hear about it in a decade

“I didn’t need a pastor to tell me that businesses that made diversity commitments during the troubled summer of 2020 didn’t really care about my Black life, but churches must show what the Christian faith has to say about what’s going on the outside, in the world of flesh and blood.“

I told my sister-in-law my salary last night & she was totally shocked. she was like, “I was sure you were in the six-figures.” she works in medical administration & makes 20K more than me a year just so everyone knows—assistant professors in English lit DO NOT make six figures.

You don’t need to leak false information. If it is false, you are just making it up. So either it is a leak of truthful information or it is someone making something up.
