Time passes. Could it be that I never believed it? Did I believe the blue nights could last forever? — Joan Didion, Blue Nights John Dowd (American Artist, born 1960)

Pennsylvania Gov. Josh Shapiro says RFK Jr. offered federal help after two unvaccinated people died from measles, the first U.S. deaths this year. Shapiro declined, saying PA could handle it, and confronted Kennedy, telling him: “There’s real life consequences to spreading misinformation.”

I simply could not imagine being in congress and staying silent as Trump builds a slush fund of $1.776 (cute right… 1776) billion dollar slush fund for insurrrectionists. What are these people even there for? History will be brutal to them. And their kids will be embarrassed

Hasn’t whined about needing a ballroom to feel safe

FYI trumps executive order is illegal and the GOP congressmen who know it are spineless and won’t say a word. Despite spending years complaining about Obamas executive orders

Your admin is ripping healthcare from people, separating families, starting wars, and protecting pedophiles. I am curious to read how these actions align with your faith journey.

Dehumanizing Black people by portraying them as apes is one of the oldest, most explicit racist tropes in history, used to justify slavery, segregation, and violence. This isn’t accidental. It’s deliberate. And anyone defending it is telling you exactly who they are.

Walz: "I'll continue to ask you for peace and I know the answer is, 'You ask us for peace and we give it, and we shot in the face on the streets coming out of a donut shop.' We cannot give them what they want ... thank God we have video ... this needs to be the event that says, 'enough'"

I hope that Democrats realize what’s happening in Minnesota is also a dry run for what the regime has planned for the midterms.

Filming federal agents in public is not a crime, nobody should be harassed or restrained for doing so, nobody should have their phone confiscated for it, and nobody should get the death penalty for it. This is supposed to be a free Republic, not an authoritarian police state.

Stephen Miller called the victim, an ICU nurse at the VA filming ICE, a “domestic terrorist who tried to assassinate federal law enforcement.” Greg Bovino said he “wanted to massacre law enforcement.” You saw the videos. How can any Republican not call for their resignations?

Gov. Tim Walz: "Thank God we have video, because according to DHS, these seven heroic guys took an onslaught of a battalion against them or something. It's nonsense, people. It's nonsense and it is lies."

Not a “paid protester.” Not an Antifa battalion commander. Not “bussed in from out of state.” A registered nurse at the VA who broke no laws and cared about humanity. Murdered by the Trump Administration.

It’s weird that Trump can stand up to allies but not Russia

He donated $1.8 million to Trump and hired Pam Bondi’s brother as his pardon attorney. Defrauded hundreds of millions from people. Walked away free. Not Somali.

Isaac Asimov on, "If God is Dead, Everything is Permitted?"

Trump has deported a four-year-old US citizen with a rare form of metastatic cancer without medication or consultation with their doctor.

This took my breath away.
