I keep thinking about how Gov Abbott had plenty of funds to fly and bus migrants all across the country but couldn't come up with a million for a flood warning system.

I'm very excited for this movie!
I loved Superman. The cast is phenomenal. It's moving, funny, thrilling, and about trying to be good in a world that is bad. A superhero movie for this moment. I'll be watching it again and again.

The United States has reached its highest annual measles case tally in 33 years, hitting at least 1,277 confirmed cases. The milestone marks a public health reversal in defeating a highly contagious, vaccine-preventable disease as the anti-vaccine movement gains strength.

Don’t for one second, not one millisecond, say babies drowning in Texas is justified because of their parent’s vote.

“The New York Times collaborated with a white nationalist eugenicist hacker and agreed to keep his identity a secret to publish a Zohran Mamdani hit piece” is a way bigger story than “18 year old Zohran Mamdani ticked ‘African American’ on his Columbia application because he was a citizen of Uganda”

A politician’s job is to make the political case to voters. And few do it better than Rep. McGovern.

It is moments like this that you begin to understand why so many have demonized empathy and compassion.
They want us to care so little for others that we will ignore injustices being carried out against them.
It is in moments like these that love for others is revolutionary.

Question: does it make America great again to deport a guy who’s willing to run into the ocean where a shark is prowling to save a child and chase away the shark?

Being disappeared to a foreign gulag is the equivalent of being buried alive. We cannot forget them.
Where is he? If we stop asking, stop demanding his return, we are complicit in his disappearance.
Andry José Hernández Romero, I remember you, even if I do not know how to articulate my horror, rage, & sorrow at your treatment by my government.
No one has heard from you in 109 days.
As vigil, I’m posting a photo or video of you every day until you are returned from El Salvador.

It’s amazing how fast they can build a concentration camp: “Alligator Alcatraz”— but they can’t manage to fix a levee, fund a hospital, or get clean water to poor communities.

The news really sucks right now.
Trying to pull back and focus on the small good things in my life right now since I have no control over everything else.

Sometimes my hubby and I "parallel exist" in the evening if we don't want to watch a TV show. While sitting close together, he'll play video games and I'll read or write. It's the best way to spend time together, while still doing our own stuff. 😊

It’s notable that the Venn Diagram of a) people who think America is a Christian nation and b) people who are excited about violently expelling auslanders and creating tens of millions of stateless people, is close to a circle.

Warnock: If I'm honest, there are days when I have to ask people of my faith tradition as a Christian, are we reading the same book?
The book I know says I was hungry and you fed me. I was sick, I was in prison and you visited me, I was a stranger and you welcomed me….

Also - I'm totally done having kids, but it's kinda bittersweet at the same time. That organ nurtured two miracles.
