Just an old woman hoping to become as woke as Jesus before it’s over.
Your tax dollar at work? No. All for show. I want a refund.
"Trump's military deportation flight to Guatemala on Monday likely cost at least $4,675 per migrant... more than five times the $853 cost of a one-way first class ticket on American Airlines from El Paso, Texas, the departure point for the flight..."

America's biggest problem isn't having a president who routinely lies to its citizens, including saying he didn't know what Project 2025 was, it's that over half of those citizens either don't care about or applaud the deceptions.

Very hard to find hope. Speak up! Thanks Betty!
First they came for the immigrants, and I did not speak out—
     
Because they were already coming for DEI, unions, gay marriage, EPA regulations, food safety, climate change, gun control, federal disaster relief, lower drug prices, books, journalists, protestors, trans people & contraception.

I can’t tell anymore when to laugh or when to cry.
Putin has had to ask staff at the Kremlin to stop taking a celebratory shot of vodka every time Trump does something bad for America, as everyone was too drunk to work before lunch.

Reminding those who give a hoot to speak up. Speak the truth. Every day. Your voice alone may be soft, but if we all join our voices we can be loud. Be relentless.

I will never stop feeling confounded by the fact that even one person is dense enough to follow and support this thug.

If Donald Trump Were the Captain of the Titanic:

"Attention all crew members helping passengers get into life boats: Please, instead, join me in the First Class Lounge to celebrate all the liberals who are about to drown. It's going to be a beautiful thing. Tickets start at $10."

I’m old and have seen a lot of stupid but this man, his party, and their supporters make cow pies look clever.
Trump while surveying hurricane recovery in NC today: "I'll also be signing an executive order to begin the process of fundamentally reforming and overhauling FEMA or maybe getting rid of FEMA..I’d rather see the states take care of their own problems.”

He's not just stupid, he's dangerous.

Those of us who are even half awake and aware are emotionally and spiritually exhausted already. Can’t fathom YEARS of this insanity.

Happy birthday to me. Lots of supportive friends showing me love. I think I’ll have another birthday tomorrow.

So if they can’t tell us the bad news, does that make it not exist?
The price of eggs in the US is spiking, mostly due to #H5N1 bird flu. Solving the problem requires urgent, important communications from the CDC & FDA* and rapid development of research by the NIH**

* Currently paused by Executive Order
** Grant reviews now all canceled

Egg prices are soaring again. Here’s why and what to expect
Bird flu has killed millions of hens in recent weeks, shrinking the supply of eggs and hiking up prices at grocery stores.

Mike Johnson needs at least a small dose of Jesus. Until he gets it he should be quiet.
January 23, 2025 at 9:20 PM
There’s only one actual Christian in this whole story.
Mike Johnson is right. Referencing Jesus’ commandments of mercy in Matthew 25 IS a radical ideology - to pious blaspheming frauds like Mike Johnson-

They worship the manger & the cross - and despise everything Jesus actually said in-between.

Mike Johnson doesn’t follow Christ - he obeys Trump.
"The Bishop hijacked the Prayer Service" is like saying "the pilot hijacked the plane"

Call it out! Every chance you get.
When Bishop Mariann Edgar Budde mentions LGBTQ children, JD Vance all but rolls his eyes and looks at his wife, who, wisely, ignores him.

This is an odd reaction from a man who struggled with wondering if he was gay a child. But Republicans aren't famous for their self-awareness or empathy.
Wow. Bishop Mariann Edgar Budde fearlessly calls out Trump and Vance to their faces. This is heroic.

So gobsmacking that evangelicals support this immoral pit of vipers.
“Danielle Hegseth also said that Hegseth drunkenly yelled in her face on at least one occasion, regularly abused alcohol in front of family, made comments that non-consensual sex was alright and said disparaging comments about Mexican Americans.”

trump and his nominees do not care about what is good and right.
Trump's nominees are positioned for one purpose: protect Donald Trump... not America.

Now is not the time to tune these dangerous picks out. Call your Senator today and tell them NO on Pete Hegseth and Pam Bondi

I promised myself that nothing he did would shock or surprise me. Promise broken already.
Trump has rescinded a Biden executive order calling for the development of policies to lower drug costs for people in Medicare and Medicaid.

Injustice and corruption in power now. Nothing good comes of it.
On the same day that Donald Trump freed 1,500 American criminals, people who beat up police officers, ransacked our nation's Capitol, and smeared their feces on its walls, he cancelled the flights of the same number of Afghan refugees, many who had helped translate for our troops. #Priorities
