This isn't justice. This is one monster helping out another.

A generation of Americans gave their lives for democracy and the American idea.

This Memorial Day, we face our own test — not of war, but of character.

Fear is rising. So is cruelty. The question is: who will we choose to be?

I wrote about that here.

"I’m really not a movement guy. I don’t naturally march in demonstrations or rallies that I’m not covering as a journalist...this is what America needs right now. Trump is shackling the greatest institutions in American life. We have nothing to lose but our chains."

It will take a concerted effort by every sector of our society to respond to Trumpism’s threat.

Liz speaks up again.
It's time for us to speak up.
Rise. Resist. Persist.
It's later than we think.

🚨NEW: Major development.

German newspaper Der Spiegel has found phone numbers and passwords for Hegseth, Waltz & Gabbard in stolen data freely published on the internet.

‼️It includes details of Signal accounts.

“It is conceivable that foreign agents were privy to the Signal chat group.”

What happens when religion summons darker impulses in people? When Christians excuse immoral conduct & spread conspiracy theories, decimate humanitarian programs that lead to millions of deaths & cheer it on..., who champion a President who is shattering the load-bearing walls of our democracy?
Trump’s Appetite for Revenge Is Insatiable
The president is making good on his campaign promise.

David French states the tragic obvious. People mock “hopes & prayers." When fallen humanity lives w/the illusion that we have control, as we do in the West, what's the alternative? Pray. Strength. Courage to suffer & persevere. Hope beyond the rational horizon. Love. www.nytimes.com/2025/03/02/o...

Preach it Liz.
Generations of American patriots, from our revolution onward, have fought for the principles Zelenskyy is risking his life to defend. But today, Donald Trump and JD Vance attacked Zelenskyy and pressured him to surrender the freedom of his people to the KGB war criminal who invaded Ukraine.
ZELENSKYY: Putin broke the ceasefire. What kind of diplomacy, JD, are you speaking about?

VANCE: I think it's disrespectful to come into the Oval Office and try to litigate this in front of the American media

Preach it Liz.

"The word 'spirituality,' used often in Christian discussions, tends toward a transfer of agency from God's prevenient grace to emphasize human qualities, preparation, readiness, or effort. The Christmas story is not 'spiritual.' It is a radical announcement of God's inbreaking."
