Our #onemillionrising gathering killed it. I know people who know people, and thanks to them there were 21 people crammed into my living room last night to share their strength, determination and hope! #Indivisible made it easy to bring together a diverse community in solidarity.

SCOTUS & Congress have bent the knee. Tech billionaires like Bezos keep #MAGAFascists afloat.

Time to flex our People Power like we did with Musk.

Heiress of the aviary

First in the « heiress » series, based on Galatians 4:7, « You are no longer a slave but a child, and if a child, then an heir through God. »
Consider the birds!

Holy moly. Check out this tweet from the new American pope. I’m sure MAGA would hate it if you reposted this right this minute.

What a great conversation here. So many of us were so deeply affected by the events of this day within the context of all that had already happened. And the ripples continue….
1. 55 years ago today, U.S. soldiers with the Ohio National Guard shot and killed 4 students at Kent State University - Allison Krause, Jeffrey Miller, Sandra Lee Scheuer, and William Schroeder - and wounded 9 others, during a protest against the war in Southeast Asia. Take a moment tonight to...

William Barber, Jonathan Wilson-Hartgrove, and Steve Swayne were, in fact, arrested for praying soon after these pictures were taken. My heart breaks for our country
BREAKING: Police just surrounded Rev. William Barber, prominent activist and pastor, as he and others prayed in the U.S. Capitol Rontunda.

Police then expelled everyone (including press!) from the Rotunda to (presumably) arrest them.

I've covered protests here a lot. Never seen anything like it.
