Perhaps the saddest lesson we continue to be faced with from Good Friday is this:
The crowds will continue to choose Barabbas over Jesus.
We continue to choose the lie of redemptive violence over Jesus’ way of love, peacemaking, & justice.

Pleased to see Zelensky receive such a warm welcome in the UK.
And no one seems the least bit bothered by his attire. Fancy that!

I really want to know if musk’s demand for a list of 5 accomplishments from every federal employee extends to members of Congress. I mean, they are employees of the federal government!

They learned something from their first term.
The only thing that stops a bad guy with a grift is a good guy with principles.
So this time they're firing all the good guys with principles.

Any legal experts out there?
What would happen to Garland or Smith if they released the special counsel report without permission? Jail time? Disbarment?
I don’t know about them, but I think I’d be willing to risk it to get the truth out there.
Then again, MAGA wouldn’t believe any of it anyway.

What was your worst flight experience?
For me… I was about 6 weeks pregnant and travelling internationally on my own (no hubby) with two sons (7 & 5) and daughter (1). When I got on the plane I had a bit of a headache, which quickly escalated to a full-blown migraine.

Why do so many feel like they've fallen behind?
It's not because of immigrants, trans people, the “deep state,” or any other bogeyman trotted out by the GOP.
It's because big corporations and billionaires have rigged markets and siphoned off most of the economy's gains.
