Hi! Just a quick note to (potential) followers. I don't really post much. I mostly repost and comment on others' threads, so don't expect a lot of novel content from me. Otherwise, welcome!

"What need have I of all your sacrifices?" says the Lord...

Bring no more vain offerings. Incense is offensive to Me...

Learn to do good. Seek justice. Aid the oppressed. Uphold the rights of the orphan. Plead for the widow."

Isaiah 1.11 to 17
From this minister's op-ed: "People wanting to experience God are more likely to meet the Divine trying to shut down the Broadview, Illinois, ICE facility than we ever were in church...God does not live in our houses of worship, but...with those who are bearing the brunt of cruelty in this moment."
Oh wow @reuters.com got the photo here:

The important thing is not whether the Trump performing sexual favors for Bill Clinton thing is true. The important thing is that we all pretend it’s true, and that someone asks Trump about it every day.

this story was sort of lost in the last few days of the epstein news but it’s wild how many republicans appear to be pedophiles or okay with pedophilia

I called the family to ask if it was ok to send the items. Unsurprisingly, the wife cried and said "yes, and thank you for remembering us". We sometimes forget, but sometimes thoughtfulness and small acts of kindness can mean the world to the family who is left behind. @3wishesprogram.bsky.social
Other day, a patient unexpectedly died & the team was too shaken to offer family @3wishesprogram.bsky.social before they left. Today nurses created this framed EKG, heartbeats in a bottle, & gathered words to create a word cloud, which I’ll send. Examples like these confirm 3wishes is for HCW too.

Done
I did this awhile ago and deciphering what’s happening here it sounds like it was a strong call. Now, back to other things.

Allies are assets, you idiots. Voluntary alliances were a crucial factor in winning WWII and the Cold War—dealing with just about any problem, really.
A big reason China is gaining is the US picked fights with nearly everyone at once, instead of rallying partners to confront China together. Fools.
Allies Are Assets, You Idiots
With their loose talk about Greenland, Canada, and the Panama Canal, Trump and his followers show they don’t get what we get from those relationships.

While the Trump admin cuts health care for working families, they’re negotiating massive payouts for his cronies

Taxpayer dollars used should be used to serve the American people, not to pay loyalists

Corruption—plain & simple 👇
NEW: DOJ has been in settlement talks with Michael Flynn -- Trump's first national security adviser seeking $50M for his prosecution by ex-special counsel Robert Mueller -- and Stefan Passantino, a Trump I White House lawyer who accused the House Jan. 6 committee of privacy violations

Michael Flynn's entire claim was abuse of process and malicious prosecution, and his case was rightly dismissed because HE WAS CONVICTED! A PARDON DOES NOT CHANGE THAT THE EVIDENTIARY STANDARD WAS MET!
They’re all just looting the treasury now

Basically saying "if you do crime for me, I won't only pardon you--I'll give you millions of dollars of public money." Truly unprecedented level of corruption

When Republicans have to vote on releasing the Epstein files, there will be a jailbreak and they won’t protect Trump.

NEW: We’ve uncovered the first known example of taxpayer money flowing from DHS to businesses controlled by Kristi Noem’s allies and friends.

It’s part of a money trail that’s been shrouded in secrecy—and involves $220 million, a mysterious Delaware LLC & a horse named Gill.
