“Life never becomes simple and easy. But recovery is possible, and grace is real, and if angst is always just around the corner, so too is hope.” #JohnKilzer Yes and amen.

At this point, the only reason left to support a man like this is that he reflects your hateful heart: he shares your contempt of people of color, your hostility toward outsiders, your toxic misogyny, your ignorant bigotry, and your feelings of supremacy. johnpavlovitz.substack.com/p/no-good-pe...

Just some creepy armed Mad Max guys trying to gain entry to Dodgers Stadium. ICE says it wasn’t them. DHS says they were Border Patrol. But honestly who the hell knows? They’ve given permission for any psycho to put on a ski mask, point a gun, grab people & throw them into an unmarked vehicle.

Despicable. What a sorry excuse of a human being.

President Trump said that he had no plans to call Governor Tim Walz of Minnesota after a man assassinated a state lawmaker there and wounded another over the weekend. "I think the governor of Minnesota is so whacked out, I’m not calling him," Trump told reporters.

Several guests who attended Trump's crypto dinner this week said they attended with the explicit intent of influencing him and U.S. financial regulations. Trump is selling access to our government to the highest bidder while lining his own pockets. It's all out in the open.

Any chance of someone actually confronting Cheeto Mussolini about this? Anyone, anyone??

Expose the lies… REUTERS: Trump falsely claimed a photo showed evidence of mass killings of white South African farmers being buried—but it was actually a screenshot from a Reuters video on February 3 in Congo, showing victims of conflict with Rwanda-backed M23 rebels.

He was compassionate and humble. He cared deeply about immigrants, families suffering in war zones, the poor, those of other faiths and the LGBTQ+ community. He did not condemn or judge but urged us to love and care for each other. He was the best Pope of my life time. Thank you Pope Francis .

Another unvaccinated child has died from the measles in Texas. There are over 600 cases in the US right now. Letting children die to a completely preventable disease is absolute insanity.

“Suckers and losers.” -Trump on fallen US soldiers If someone tells you who they are, believe them.

"Rather than attend the dignified transfer of the bodies of four U.S. Army soldiers who died on a training mission in Lithuania, Trump flew to Florida to watch a Saudi-funded LIV golf tournament at his own course." www.thedailybeast.com/trump-picks-...

Trump: Gutting National Parks—And Hiding the Evidence National parks hit 331M visits, but Trump officials don’t want you to know. A leaked memo bans the Park Service from promoting the numbers—while firing rangers, closing visitor centers, and cutting safety. This won’t go well—we love our parks.

Trump is getting his revenge on Zelenskyy because Zelenskyy told him to go fuck himself when Trump told him he would withhold aid unless he announced a fake investigation into his opponent, Joe Biden. And then Trump was impeached for that. And then lost to Biden.

Absolute legend. Gonna miss you, Coach. RIP

The Republican who voted NO 👇🏽 “$20 trillion to the debt” — all to cut taxes for the rich, while gutting health care for poor folks. A massive transfer of wealth. Again: They never cared about the debt.

Just when you think he can't drag us any lower the bastard breaks out an effin' shovel.

Trump: "We're gonna be selling a gold card. You have a green card, this is a gold card. We're gonna put a price on that card of about $5 million and that's going to give you green card privileges, plus. It's gonna be a route to citizenship, and wealthy people will be coming into our country."

It’s been apparent for a ling time that there’s no possible way Trump leaves office again willingly. The plan is for him to some day die in office, and nothing Republicans have done since inauguration day suggests they’ll oppose this in any meaningful way.

Bannon: "The future of MAGA is Donald Trump! We want Trump in '28. That's what they can't stand. A man like Trump comes along only once or twice in the country's history. We want Trump! We want Trump!"
