What a wonderful idea…👇 Let’s. Do. This. ✨

"If we considered and correctly judged our own actions, we would not harshly judge anyone else." #ThomasAKempis #ImitationOfChrist #Lent

Just a quick reminder, if Russia ceased firing there would be a cease fire

The American bald eagle knew.

And in despair I bowed my head 'There is no peace earth," I said For hate is strong and mocks the song Of peace on earth, goodwill to men.

Every word of this youtu.be/3gzo7PiFiaM?...

No Other Land Co-Director Yuval Abraham: "The foreign policy in this country is helping to block this path. Why? Can't you see that we are intertwined? There is another way. It's not too late for life, for the living. There is no other way."

"But you're not acting at all thankful and that's not a nice thing. I'll be honest, that's not a nice thing. All right, I think we've seen enough, what do you think?"

"History will remember this day— when an American President and Vice President abandoned all we stand for."

"No man is an island, entire of itself, every man is a piece of the continent, a part of the main. Any man's death diminishes me, because I am involved in mankind, and therefore never send to know for whom the bell tolls -- it tolls for thee." - John Donne

This vote was to start the process of the cuts. It WILL come back for a final vote. There are some chances to slow or potentially stop it. Need constant pressure on GOP Focus on GOP swing seats & key committees. Energy & Commerce is where the Medicaid fight will go down. Ways&Means for tax fight.

In addition to the first recorded murder, Cain is also responsible for creating religion. God doesn't ask for an offering... Cain decided to give one.

Looks like tomorrow will bring votes on a Republican plan to fund tax cuts for the rich by slashing Medicaid. So this is a great time to contact your Member of Congress.

I’m telling you @hakeem-jeffries.bsky.social, please watch this. This is the energy. Not egg prices and book tours and strongly worded letters. It’s time to take the gloves off.

This is not a good person.

"Can you imagine if [Bishop] Barron advocated for the poor who will suffer throughout the world as passionately as he railed against feminism?" #RebuildMyChurch www.ncronline.org/opinion/ncr-...

The Washpost, which is bleeding millions of dollars and shrinking its staff, accepted -- and then rejected -- a $115,000 ad that criticized Elon Musk. Anyway, here's the ad that the Post's business side didn't want its readers to see ⤵️ thehill.com/media/514849...

We need Pete Buttigieg as a clear messenger, more than ever.

Dear Democratic Party, Put @aoc.bsky.social @petebuttigieg.bsky.social and @repjasmine.bsky.social in charge of messaging. Then listen and learn how it's done in 2025.

I don't understand how the people who support this administration don't lie awake at night in fear for their souls. livingchurch.org/news/news-an...

"The sea of Galilee and the Dead Sea are made of the same water. The Sea of Galilee makes beauty of this water; for the Sea of Galilee has an outlet. It gets to give. But the Dead Sea with the same water makes horror. For the Dead Sea has no outlet. It gets, to keep." -- Harry Emerson Fosdick

$400,000,000... for armored Tesla's, but feeding starving people is "wasteful". #doge = D.elivering O.ur G.old to E.lon www.state.gov/procurement-...

The Acting President discusses affairs of state, while the young boy and the old man share their boredom.

As others have said, the greatest transfer of wealth in US history will not be from the Boomers to their children but from them to the US healthcare system. The US is designed to make people insolvent and to keep them poor once they're there.

If you look at the immense and intense symbolism of the entire performance, the song and lyric choices, and the cultural impact, I think we’re going to look back on Kendrick Lamar’s haltime show as the most important—and perhaps the greatest ever.

This this this this this...

My God please just give AOC the top spot.

If the richest man on earth claims to be cutting wasteful spending, and then starts cutting aid to Christian organizations that feed the hungry and heal the sick, then he must think caring for “the least of these” is a waste.

As the forces of hatred are on the march, my promise is this: Our trans neighbors will continue to be safe, protected, and welcome in Minnesota.

This is hilarious. I especially like the annexation of Green Bay and the mystery Mississippi River announcement.

True.

"Woe to the shepherds who feed themselves instead of their flocks. You eat the best food and wear the finest clothes, but you let your flocks starve. You haven’t taken care of the weak, nor tended the sick. Instead, you have ruled them with force and cruelty." Ezk. 34:1-4

"Just cuz he's proposing ethnic cleansing, concentration camps, and white purity doesn't mean that Donald Trump is a nazi!" --MAGA

Growing up, I was told that the demise of Christianity would be caused by our country rejecting God. Now I believe it is actually caused by Christians blatantly rejecting the teachings of Jesus for the sake of political power.

Choose this day who you will serve. It's time for pastors who have long kept their mouths shut to keep their jobs to search out opportunities in spaces where they can actually tell the truth without fear of becoming homeless.

Honestly what I think happened was that the President of Mexico and the Prime Minister of Canada both got on the phone and told Trump how huge and powerful and manly he was in nice, soothing ASMR tones for twenty minutes, and that's all it took because Trump just wants to be told he's a big big boy

Canada out negotiated Trump, likely in coordination with Mexico. Canada will now place 10,000 personnel (which they were already doing) at the border. They reinforced the border to protect from the US against a potential invasion and will now curb US drug and weapons traffickers. The US got nothing.

America, you broke through—the media, from small outlets to large, is finally picking up on what’s happening. Legislators, judges, and attorneys general across the country are speaking out. They hear you. We love you and are honored to serve you! 🦬💚🇺🇸
