The richest man in the world is not looking out for you. He’s not your friend. He’s the richest man in the world precisely for that reason. This is insanity.

I honestly believe our most powerful position in a toxic time that feeds on cynicism, apathy,& despair is to genuinely care and act for a better world.
Cynicism is our enemy. We should check it, incl. on the left. It’s not intellectually superior. It’s the virus they’re trying to infect us with. NO

That's right - we should cut government waste.
But we're seeing Trump and Musk's plan in action: pausing federal funds that rip school lunch away from preschoolers and end Meals on Wheels for seniors. That's not efficiency, it's cruelty.
I have better ideas.

Remember: Almost all of us are the descendants of immigrants who fled persecution, or were brought to America under duress, or sought better lives for themselves and their descendants.
Politicians who stoke fear and hatred over immigration want you to forget this.
Do not.

A bit about the sermon heard around the world.
I am so grateful for the examples of such courageous clergy women like Bishop Budde who do not shy away from preaching the gospel of Jesus' love and compassion for the marginalized in the face of such oppressive powers that be.

The Bishop Who Pleaded With Trump: ‘Was Anyone Going to Say Anything?’
Bishop Budde locked eyes with President Trump and made a plea for mercy — and the war over spiritual authority in America was ignited anew.

Denying citizenship to U.S.-born children is unconstitutional. Full stop.
We won't let President Trump's anti-immigrant attacks go unchallenged.

Wow. Bishop Mariann Edgar Budde fearlessly calls out Trump and Vance to their faces. This is heroic.

Trump just said he was going to initiate an executive order to keep Tiktok up for three months
“Americans deserve to see our exciting Inauguration on Monday, as well as other events and conversations,” he said.
He’s being a hero savior to specifically himself.

Looks like even if we get it back, our first amendment rights have been sold. The narrative will be controlled on TT just like every other giant platform.
Prepare for unrest. Prepare for violence. Prepare to fight for what is yours by right. The history books will see this as a turning point.

Let’s put the blame where it belongs. All of the politicians (including democrats) who voted to ban it in the first place to silence 170 million Americans. I don’t blame TikTok for trying to get their platform back up. I blame our politicians for making it necessary to do so.
The app, which prevented American users from scrolling through videos late Saturday, highlighted Trump's interest in a "solution" to keep its U.S. operations alive.

I guarantee this is part of the deal they’ve worked out. “I’ll grant you the extension, but you have to shut down, and you have to make it clear to all 170 million users that I’m the one who can and will save you.”

Huh, yeah that seems like one possible reason as well as to make Trump look like the hero and hope we will be happy and distracted when he gives the order to start the ICE raids...
Just realizing: of course there will be a 90 day extension issued next week on the TikTok ban. And not because of our ability to use the platform. But because 90 days…gets us to Tax Day. So all the people/biz’s that have generated income won’t be able to say “I couldn’t get my tax forms from TikTok”
