This AI video of Jesus and a little boy singing Bless the Lord Oh My Soul, while Jesus holds a disembodied child’s foot is so beautiful and spiritually inspiring.

I’m a big man who rides the subway every night because I’m not a terrified hysterical neurotic
Sean Duffy: "The truth is, transit across America is dangerous. And these liberals -- liberal mayors -- they want everybody out of cars and into trains but they made the trains unsafe so nobody really wants to ride them ... even big men don't want to ride the subway at those times of night."

🙌🏼 I’m not sure who had the amazing idea to invite this constitutional lawyer to a senate hearing that intended to prove Biden colluded with Meta to censor conservatives, but she took the opportunity to speak truth to power ✊🏼 on the hypocrite 👑 KING OF FREE SPEECH, Donald Trump, himself. 👏🏼 Brava!!

Trump is disappearing legal immigrants he claims are a threat — despite presenting no evidence.

What really happened is that many of these people spoke out against him.

Every institution or individual that surrenders to Trump’s tyranny, or fails to speak out, only invites more of it.

Social Security is the largest source of income for most beneficiaries — and it keeps 22 million people out of poverty.

Meanwhile, Trump’s billionaire Commerce Secretary says that seniors won’t care if they don’t receive their benefits.

Government for the rich, by the rich.

A US-born citizen was walking near Chicago in January. ICE snatched him off the street, handcuffed him, threw into a van. His wallet, which contained his ID, was confiscated. He was detained for 10 hours before being released without a record of what occurred.

Millions of Americans — especially seniors, small businesses, and rural communities — rely daily on USPS's affordable rates and universal service.

Privatization would make the mail more expensive and less reliable — all to enrich the billionaire class.

We cannot let it happen.

The economy is showing severe warning signs after Trump's first month in office. This shouldn't be surprising. He doesn't understand the economy and tanked pretty much every business he ever touched. youtu.be/zbh9SW5Cgqg?...

Trumps completely partisan, and contempt filled comments at the DOJ, has literally made me sick to my stomach!

Republicans’ partisan spending bill turns the federal government into a slush fund for Donald Trump and Elon Musk.

It’s unthinkable that any Senate Democrat would hand them a blank check by voting for cloture.

I’m sure all the people who shared NYT’s ‘Screams Without Words’ and Sheryl Sandberg’s ‘Screams Before Silence’ will be sharing this new UN report on Israel’s systematic sexual and gender-based violence against Palestinian men and women, right?
Right?
Gaza war: UN experts accuse Israel of 'genocidal acts' and sexual violence
Israel strongly rejects the findings of the report and accuses the UN Human Rights council of antisemitism.

Here’s what Biden left to Trump. I will keep posting this to help wake up whatever Republicans with a rational mind are left.

Full of bullshit. Plus being ignorant and spineless, is a bad combination!
He is lying.

I was on Columbia's campus the day Johnson visited, April 24. The congressional delegation spoke from the steps of the Low Library, hundreds of feet from the pro-divestment encampment. No one could even hear Johnson– only press microphones. He was heckled. That's all.
Q: What crime did Mahmoud Khalil commit to warrant his arrest?

JOHNSON: Let me tell you something. I faced down the angry mob at Columbia at the height of that stuff...if you're on a student visa and you're an aspiring young terrorist who wants to prey upon your Jewish classmates, you're going home

Marco Rubio Personally Signed Off to Detain Mahmoud Khalil on 'Foreign Policy Grounds,' Sources Confirm
The government is staking its entire case to deport Khalil on whether Rubio “personally” thinks the Columbia student protest negotiator would “compromise” US foreign policy.

These people are really trying their best to keep us ignorant, and uneducated. Unless of course, you're already privileged!
Let’s be clear: the Dept. of Ed. provides resources to 26 million children living in high-poverty school districts; Pell Grants to over 7 million students; & funding for millions of children with disabilities.

Closing its doors would be a disaster for working class families.

Lincoln talked about a government of the people, by the people, for the people.

Today, with Trump as our president, we have a government of the billionaires, by the billionaires, for the billionaires.
