Anyone who is able to donate, please help out your local food banks. There are going to be an awful lot of people needing help because they have lost healthcare coverage and/ or SNAP benefits.

There was a video of a young, pretty girl being arrested at the immigration courthouse. If you look closely the Ice agent is fondling her breast. She has on a brown sweater in the video. It was on the news. The sex assault went unnoticed.

One of the things I remind our community of during Coffee With Texas Paul regarding the impending economic crash is to look for the red flags to get a sense of timing and severity. On that note, animal shelter populations are exploding. A very sad red flag indeed. Happens every crash.

It’s so bad … prisoners went on a hunger strike … a couple of times.

Inspections are the guardrails between cruel and unusual punishment.
In 2024, more than 1/3 of Idaho’s jails failed inspection for violating their own standards.

Idaho is one of a few states without regulatory oversight of jails. Annual inspections are voluntarily conducted by the Sheriffs Association — the same agency that sets jail health and safety standards.

If your version of Christianity can justify the forced starvation of children, it’s not from Jesus.

Remember: Almost all of us are the descendants of immigrants who fled persecution, or were brought to America under duress, or sought better lives for themselves and their descendants.

Politicians who stoke fear and hatred over immigration want you to forget this.

Do not.

I just doubled my monthly donation to PBS. You get access to all of their catalog of shows too with just $5 a month. Incredible deal!
"No matter where I lived, I knew this was guaranteed because after moving into a new place, we’d plug in our old box television, adjust the shitty little antenna just so, and voila, like magic, there was PBS. It was free."

“Today’s E.P.A. announcement ignores the blindingly obvious reality of the climate crisis and sidelines the E.P.A.’s own scientists and lawyers in favor of the interests and profits of the fossil fuel industry,” former Vice President Al Gore said in a statement.

SINCE May, when Bondi told Trump he’s named in the Epstein files:

⚠️Trump’s team backed a WA lawsuit to block a law forcing priests to break confession confidentiality on abuse

⚠️The Trump administration cut millions from child abuse interview training programs

The GOP protects pedophiles.
