"The hypocrisy is stunning."

But now standard with conservatives.
Her parents owe their lives to the United States accepting them as asylum seekers fleeing religious persecution in Iraq in the 1980s. She wouldn't be here if we had not offered her family safe haven.

The hypocrisy is stunning.
Habba: There were individuals that were saying that this should be a safe harbor, a safe haven. Why? America is America because we protect our own.

No idea why an Afghan refugee shot National Guard soldiers within walking distance of the White House, but this new USCIS directive was revealed on Monday. Worth noting.
The folks at @afghanevac.bsky.social have in hand a new USCIS directive which largely targets Afghan refugees who fled the Taliban in the wake of the U.S. withdrawal in 2021.

In case you needed a reminder that the most loathsome people in the world work for DHS.

A Trump buddy, as part of the FIFA soccer organization, has created a 'Peace Prize.' I wonder who the winner will be.
Is Trump 5 years old?

This level of repulsive Republican conservative religiousity isn't called out enough. I've read that they have 'bible classes' to selectively distort religion to suit their corrupt agenda.

Looking for the song about paradise paved into a parking lot ("paved paradise, put up a parking lot") the search's next tune had lyrics..

"In a voice that came from you and me"

Have to think '60s for that sort of voice.

Though only loosely similar (Canadien hockey players of the era were often working class) Henri Richard was born on February 29. An actual birthday only once in four years.

Sheet!
Trump probably thinks this is chump change compared to Musk's calling for $1 trillion from the Tesla board.

Watching the raping, or is it 'violent fingering' of America.

Approved by the Repub devout followers of Jesus.
Pam Bondi, who was paid what might as well be a retainer for her services, is presumably who will approve the nine-figure payout from DOJ to Donald.

🚨 As @hartmannreport.com warns, the end of democracy in America won’t roll in on tanks, it will come “packaged as entertainment.”

And it won't “announce its departure with trumpets. It slips away in silence, one institution at a time.”

Donald Trump and the deeply religious GOP evangelicals, looking for opportunities to 'finger' people.
“Terrible things are happening outside. Poor helpless people are being dragged out of their homes. Families are torn apart. Men, women, and children are separated. Children come home from school to find that their parents have disappeared.”

The fkng bugs that swim in pigeon feathers easier than I swim in water.

I've seen them land on a bird, take a couple of steps and then seemingly melt into the feathers. Birds then go into irritated grooming.

Just had a thought, remembering a H.S. toilet writing.

"Flush twice. Long way to the cafeteria."

If you still need to share a link to a tweet, but don't want to send people to Musk's cesspool - replace "x" with "xcancel" in the tweet link.

For example x.com/dril/status/...

becomes xcancel.com/dril/status/...

People will still see the tweet, but without going to Twitter.
