I just checked in at the Atlanta airport and the kiosk wanted me to show a "passport or permanent residence card." The airline rep who was helping me said "I don't know why it's doing this it's been doing it all morning."

Kelly: When I was flying in combat over Iraq during the first Gulf War, I didn’t expect that there was a 10-year-old kid sitting in South Africa who would one day become the richest guy in the world and call me a traitor for doing my job. Now, he kind of acts like a 12-year-old kid

Somebody in my office full of Southern People has brought fried chicken for their lunch, and honestly I would be less bitter if they just microwaved some tuna. Come on, man. That’s just mean.

Did you know David Gilmour once sold his £3 million London mansion and donated every penny to a homeless charity called Crisis? He said, "I don't need all this luxury while others are fighting for a roof." No media catwalk, no rockstar egos-just pure generosity. He quietly changed lives❤️

Read through when you have the strength. I have to save it for later as my current status is basically 🥴😵‍💫😣😶🖕🏻🖕🏻🖕🏻

Last night's Pentagon massacre is much more than realized. Not just firing the black CJCS and first woman CNO but all the senior JAG officers and hiring a man who just joined 3 different crypto firms tied to Kushner and Thiel as Chairman. I did a deep dive into it open.substack.com/pub/fpwellma...

Don’t be tempted to trust Bannon bc he doesn’t like Musk. It’s jealousy, not a change of heart.

All of us — no matter your religious identity or background — should be disgusted by the recent resurgence of Nazi symbolism and rhetoric in the United States. As people of diverse faiths, we are united against antisemitism and hate in all forms. #SteveBannon

Long but powerful read. It’s worth your time.

EXCLUSIVE: A federal worker at the EPA sent an incredible email to Administrator Lee Zeldin. He's refused to stay silent, and has asked me to share the email - and his name - with the public. My latest: www.muellershewrote.com/p/exclusive-...

Crockett: "Down in Alabama, who's broke. Down in Louisiana, who's broke. I can go through pretty much the entire south and tell you that they're broke and rely on a lot of welfare from the government. To be perfectly honest, it is tax dollars from these big blue states...we're in the find out phase"

I can’t remember where I read this, but it’s important: Why is it that when people think about traveling to the past, they worry about doing something small that will drastically change the present, but no one in the present thinks that doing something small today can drastically change the future?

The root that tears apart your foundation begins as a seed of distrust, hate, and blame. The seed that grew into a dictatorship in Europe didn’t arrive overnight. It started with everyday Germans mad about inflation and looking for someone to blame.

"The poor, the persecuted, and the sorrowful are promised a place in heaven. But the rich, the arrogant, and the oppressor are promised only tears and torment. Jesus offers real hope to those who suffer while he renders a stark warning to those who cause suffering." #OurPastorsMessage ccgronline.com

His job was, “to teach people about the sacredness of” a place that is culturally and naturally critical, and beyond special to him personally. May all this be reversed and these public servants reinstated.

Bright passionate people who wanted to dedicate their lives to public service were fired in a mass email over the holiday weekend. This has absolutely nothing to do with efficiency, fraud, waste, or abuse. And your life will be worse because of it.

The most unpatriotic members of any society are the far right. They will always align with foreign interests against the interests of their own nations. They will always undermine national institutions and national values in pursuit of their own interests. When they pose as patriots, they lie.

When a judge stops the president from doing something illegal, that’s not a “threat to democracy,” that’s a check on the president’s power. That's the whole damn point.

I’m a firm believer in going No Contact to protect yourself. Then when the person dies, your grief is even more complicated. Maybe there was always glimmer of hope that they could get better & you might safely reconnect. idk. 😣🥴💔 I’m down to 2 sisters now, and praying for healthy connections.
