I'm old enough to remember when public servants understood they served the public. Hegseth serves one man.

Republican Greg Abbott is so xenophobic that he would defund a children's hospital to try to force them to help him target the immigrant population in Texas.

Nancy Mace knows the danger that her bigoted words pose for trans people. She just loves fame (well, infamy anyway) enough that she doesn't CARE that her words put trans people in danger.

Nancy Mace is a sad example of the new MAGA Republican Party. She is a sociopolitical weather vane, pointing in whatever direction will reward her with the most fame, fortune and power at any given moment. She has no deeply held beliefs or convictions that cannot be reversed, for a price.

There will ALWAYS be room at my table for immigrants, both those with documents and those without.

Always.

I'm somewhere between 42 and 51, depending on how you define the word "recognize" in this "how old are you based on your Coachella knowledge" game. Which is interesting, because I'm... somewhere, let's say, between those ages in actual reality LOL

I'm not ashamed to say that #Arcane Season 2 made me cry. Multiple times.

In a world too full of awful people like Nancy Mace, be a Sarah McBride.

Apparently Pam Bondi, the former Florida attorney general that Trump bribed with $25,000 back in 2013 so that she wouldn't take legal action on the lawsuits against him for his Trump University fraud, will be nominated as the United States Attorney General.
God help us all.

Between confusion over the Affordable Care Act and Obamacare being the same thing and Trump having Musk prepare to take a hatchet to Medicare, Medicaid, Disability Benefits, and Social Security, there's going to be a LOT of unpleasant surprises coming for some particularly vulnerable Trump voters.

Tony Campolo helped start my journey to a more active and outward-facing faith, focused on being like Jesus, along with people like Rich Mullins, Charlie Peacock, David Dark, Kevin Max, Derek Webb, and a few others not so well-known.

Rev. Campolo will be missed.

WWE billionaire Linda McMahon will be Trump's Secretary of Education. We are truly descending into a surreal fascist kakistocracy.

Be the kind of person that Putin wants to push off a balcony... not the kind of person he wants to put in the White House.

Now that Putin's puppet Trump will be returning to the White House on 1/20/25, I suspect we'll going to see a lot more "falls from balconies" from the critics of Putin. www.thedailybeast.com/russian-ball...

And so it begins: Trump plans to declare a (fake) national emergency so that he can use the American military to conduct mass deportations.

@jlneyhart.bsky.social I found you!

Welcome to the 19th Century, anti-vax style. Absolutely no one should be shocked that Trump would tap a completely unqualified nutbar like RFK Jr to run HHS. Trump is all about surrounding himself with sycophants.

As a professional educator for nearly my entire adult life, Trump's "plan" to destroy the United States Department of Education will be a disaster on many levels, but particularly for those students who have special needs.

Starting a migration from Twitter, where I have close to 1,300 followers. I can't even remember how I built up that many, but I did.

I'm an educator who is also attempting to become a YA author.

An asexual biromantic, I'm trying to figure out how best to protect vulnerable folks.
