TRUMP IS THE BAD GUY! We told y’all this would happen.

As a longtime Christian and former pastor, one of the most common questions I’m asked, is one I often ask myself: “Why are Conservative Christians so hateful?” johnpavlovitz.substack.com/p/if-god-is-...

No matter how you’ve chosen to justify your allegiance to him, ultimately you made your decision, and quite frankly, I have lost the respect for and the affinity I had with you. There is a divide between us now that will never be completely removed. johnpavlovitz.substack.com/p/to-the-peo...

Heads up! The @aclu.org Immigrant Rights Project has an EXCELLENT online resource available in multiple languages to walk immigrants or advocates through various scenarios of encounters with immigration officials or police. It includes contact #s for local ACLU offices. www.aclu.org/know-your-ri...

In fairness the resulting fire and explosion might have set off the sprinklers.

Trump previously signed an Executive Order banning TikTok, worried it would ruin his reelection chances. If he "saves" it, he will have simply undone what he originally did—keeping his pattern of creating a non-existent threat, creating an unnecessary emergency, and then taking credit for fixing it.

No, sarcasm aside, I passionately hate it and can't wrap my mind around it.

Stay engaged, stay informed. We cannot let the authoritarians win
