Something to be said about the holiest man dying after meeting with one who lacks all qualities of decency.

In Pope Francis’s last public address, he preached care of the marginalized, the vulnerable, and migrants, saying: “I would like all of us to hope anew and to revive our trust in others, including those who are different than ourselves.” May we heed his wish.

Cherry Chutney & Proscuitto Crostini I made for an appetizer this Easter. Definitely is a keeper! So delicious! Recipe by @lynfredwinery.bsky.social www.lynfredwinery.com/cherry-chutn...

We just wanted to keep you all updated estimates are now approaching 4 million. Incredible job pulling this off on a holiday weekend! It was tough to get accurate counts today because small towns showed up in force. Some states had record-breaking turnout we didn’t expect this includes

Happy #Easter

Happy #Easter Weekend! 🤣

If he has 34 felony convictions then he is definitely a convicted criminal.

the most cruel administration of all time. them being this outwardly evil genuinely might be their downfall in the end

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.

Actually left the protest a bit early. Hubby had the wrong shoes for standing. It was also a bit chillier than expected. Yes, 50 degrees, but the misty rain just gave everyone a chill. Stopped off @lynfredwinery.bsky.social for a glass and some bread for Easter. #lynfredwinery #redwine Cheers!🍷

We actually left early from the Schaumburg event. The chill of the day was not expected. Yes, it was 59 degrees, but cloudy. Chilled you to the bone. Husband did not wear the "right" shoes for standing. Went to @lynfredwinery.bsky.social earlier than planned. It was warm inside. Outdoor heaters gone

Schaumburg protest. No kings 4/19/2025. A lot of people protesting in Schaumburg! It was fun when people would honk for approval when the drove by. Truck horns were especially fun! Chilly, rainy day. Exciting to see so many people who are like minded! #Handsoff #Handsoffprotest #HandsoffSchaumburg

Congrats @bluesky on 35m !

"But that’s the wrong way to think about it. These are not separate battles. This is a single effort to undo the parts of the civilizational order that might restrain Trump’s acquisition of power. And it will take a concerted response to beat it back." www.nytimes.com/2025/04/17/o...

“Donald Trump is ‘OK’ if people in Chicago die. Why? Because he wants to cut life-saving programs,” Gov. Pritzker said. “People will die if we cut violence intervention programs. We must do all that we can to stop this from happening.” thetriibe.com/2025/04/prit...

All ready for the Schaumburg protest tomorrow. I made different signs for this protest, than the ones I made for the first in Chicago. No kings is the theme this time, I think. Or more like I hope. Ready for some good trouble!

This is from a Miss Manners column back in 2018. It still makes me laugh. Enjoy.
