Anyone who thinks the President is equivalent to a king is un-American. Period.

I will continue to pray like Mary prayed in the Gospel of Luke - that the powerful will be cast off the throne, that the low will be lifted up, that the hungry will be filled with good things, and the rich sent away empty.

That’s is what we need in America right now.

Can we just collectively mourn a tragedy and not point fingers while people receive such horrible news about their loved ones?

As a christian and a human being I stand with Bishop Mariann Edgar Budde. She is speaking the vision and message of Jesus and the Gospels, and truth to power of showing mercy and love to all, and treating everyone with dignity. I hope all people of faith support her in this moment.

I had very few concerns using TikTok while it was owned by ByteDance

I have a lot of concerns if it's owned in total or part by a US company

Unfortunately staying offline seems to be an increasingly good idea

I feel like I won't want to go back to TikTok if it were to come back... ugh.

Don't let Donald Trump extending the TikTok ban distract you from the fact that his Administration is about to conduct mass deportations across America in a matter of days.

Glad to be on an app that isn't owned by a toxic man. Already dropped Twitter. Soon, I plan on divesting from all things Meta, though that one is going to take some time. #bluesky #startingfresh #purgation
