It is perfectly legal to know your rights and to educate others about them, too. EVERYONE in the United States, citizen or not, has rights. I will not allow this administration to intimidate us from helping you know about them. Here’s our shareable guide ⬇️: (pt. 1/2)

In 3 days, the number of measles cases in a highly unvaccinated area of Texas has doubled. There are now 48 cases, all of whom are unvaccinated, and 13 of whom have been hospitalized so far, for a hospitalization rate of 27%. This is huge figure in epidemiology. This outbreak will keep spreading.

An unelected billionaire, with no actual Congressional authority or govt experience, has access to Treasury payment systems and sensitive information about millions of Americans who receive Social Security checks, tax refunds, and other payments.

Jesus never called his followers to defend Christianity, a “Christian nation,” or even their Christian churches. Jesus called them to defend the poor, the oppressed, and the hurting. Stop manipulating Jesus for the benefit of a few. Get to feeding, healing, and peacemaking.

i think an important thing for people outside the US to understand is that elon musk seized control of the government today and most americans don’t even realize it happened.

Kaine: "He let Musk force the resignation of the FAA administrator. He disbanded an aviation safety committee... he's got an OMB director who's pushing a hiring freeze & saying 'I want to traumatize the federal workforce'"... he's got an anti-safety agenda..that's why he went the race-baiting route"

This story is bananas. "A team including current and former employees of Musk assumed command of OPM on Jan. 20 ... They have moved sofa beds onto the fifth floor of the agency's headquarters, which contains the director's office and can only be accessed with a security badge or a security escort."

There's no hierarchy in Jesus' words. None. Love God, love your neighbor as yourself. Also, there's the earliest Christians, like Paul: "There is no longer Jew or Greek, there is no longer slave or free, there is no longer male and female; for all of you are one in Christ Jesus." NO HIERARCHY.

Tell me you're the alpha cat without telling me you're the alpha cat. Tazzie is 8 months old and established her alpha self at age 4 months with her 10-year old sister. This is nicer than her usual leap through the air with a spread-eagle landing on Molly's back. #alphacat

I would like to speak up today for the trans community. You see, I know a bit of what it’s like to be politically scapegoated. When Japan attacked Pearl Harbor in 1941, suddenly anyone in America who had any amount of Japanese ancestry became suspect. Politicians preyed upon ignorance and fear. /1

Meanwhile, in my office... Feral Mama Kitty has escaped the cold air and birthday party noise from down the street and found a nice warm comfy spot next to my Nick Cage pillow. I have to leave the door cracked open a little bit or she'll be too scared to stay in here. Progress, though.
