Each was a person. Lucja was a teacher. Today she is my teacher. Her lesson: EVIL EXISTS. IT MUST BE FOUGHT.

I remember JFK being challenged for his being Catholic. I remember JFK making essentially the same argument in front of Protestant ministers in Texas during his campaign. Look it up, as Casey Stengel used to say.
OMFG! This response from @AbdulElSayed to a completely bigoted question is probably the best thing I’ve heard all year. Every bigot in America needs to listen to this three times.

Arrested for speaking out for her constituents, she faces trial and possible 2 years imprisonment. DeSantis Trumped up the misdemeanor charges. (Pun is accidental, but accurate. )
Angie Nixon Just Gave Democrats a Lesson in Fighting Back “If wanting your neighbor to afford their insulin is radical, then call me a radical. “If believing a mother shouldn’t have to work three jobs to keep a roof over her family’s head is extreme, then call me extreme.” Nixon was outspent roughly 16 to 1 and still won Florida’s Democratic Senate primary by 12 points. Then she looked directly toward November: “Ashley Moody can call us whatever she wants. But in November, she will call me Senator.” This is what fighting for working people sounds like.

How to gain after a loss? By staying loyal to the team. Blessings from Brooklyn, Alex, where I think you have roots.
Who would've ever thought that a Jewish refugee would make it to the U.S. Army, to the White House, and to becoming a candidate for the U.S. Senate. Only in America is that possible, and it would not have been possible without you, Florida. I still believe in the American Dream, because I've lived it. It's worth fighting for. Rep. Nixon ran a strong campaign. I will be standing by her side in the fight against Ashley Moody. I hope you'll join me.

"Who made him the pope?" The Cardinals in Conclave.
It is not atomic weapons that generate #peace, but disarmament. This truth, which seemed clear in past decades when we witnessed a nuclear de-escalation, has been obscured by a race to armament that today frightens and terrifies.

ATTENTION Catholic Justices in The Supreme Court and Judges on the Fifth Circuit.
God does not bless any conflict. Anyone who is a disciple of Christ, the Prince of Peace, is never on the side of those who once wielded the sword and today drop bombs. Military action will not create space for freedom or times of #Peace, which comes only from the patient promotion of coexistence and dialogue among peoples.

Liam Ramos is FIVE! He is still detained. He was used as bait. DHS/ICE tactics are cruel. Trump is cruel.
The continued detention of 5‑year‑old Liam Ramos is a moral failure of staggering proportions. We’re watching a government justify the unjustifiable: the incarceration of a child who poses no threat to anyone. We cannot normalize this. We cannot shrug. We cannot scroll past it. Demand his release.

Is this what you voted for?
The Trump administration is disgusting! Yesterday, ICE raided a home on St. Paul’s East Side. Their target was ChongLy Scott Thao, an elderly Hmong American man. He’s a U.S. citizen with no criminal record. Armed ICE agents broke down the door without presenting a valid warrant, entered with guns drawn, and handcuffed him in front of his 5-year-old grandson, who was left crying and traumatized. This happened in sub-zero conditions, with wind chills near -30°F. Thao was dragged outside wearing only shorts, a blanket, and Crocs and marched through the snow. ICE then drove him around for nearly an hour, questioned and fingerprinted him, confirmed he was a citizen and not the person they were looking for… and dropped him back at home. No apology. No explanation. No accountability. Is this what you voted for?

Yes, Chicago born Pope Leo XIV is the first US Pope. Argentinian Francis was the first American Pope. Splitting hairs: Leo is first North American. ALSO the 2nd South American because of his Peruvian citizenship where he was an Archbishop.

My 75 year old wife and 80 year old me marched the whole length in New York City. The hardest part was getting out of Bryant Park; the crowd was dense and static. Felt great to actually stride.

"In short, if you wouldn’t have accepted this from Kamala, you shouldn’t accept it from Trump.. PERIOD!"
When they started firing people along with playing with the tariff talk, I said we were headed towards a recession. MAGA said I was wishing that the president failed… I said it’s basic economics… Well… MAGA will say I’m “ghetto” “DEI” & whatever else, but I was RIGHT! Privilege looks like giving people like Trump who on paper is a failure on economics (6 bankruptcies), yet still be upset with Obama and would have never given him the latitude to destroy everything & ask questions later. In short, if you wouldn’t have accepted this from Kamala, you shouldn’t accept it from Trump.. PERIOD!

Instructing voters from the pulpit should remove tax exemptions.

"Kamala Harris for the People," is how the Vice President introduced herself to the court time and again as a prosecutor.
The only client Kamala Harris has ever had is THE PEOPLE. The only client Donald Trump has ever had is HIMSELF. That says it all, doesn’t it?

There are several political balls up in the air. One of them is the possibility of a SCOTUS Justice being accused of Tax Violations/Fraud.

I treated the debate the same as I did for Nixon vs JFK. I listened for a bit, then told myself that I would read the transcript in the morning. I am still looking for the transcript, but a clip of Gov. Newsom tells me that President Biden won.

My sister got Covid that triggered debilitating shingles. Her husband died of it. A cousin's Covid triggered a stroke; he is wheelchair bound now. My son has long Covid from when tests were rare. I believe in vaccines, but reaction to the Pfizer poke destroyed a daughter's life.
Hi, for the millionth time Republicans... Four years ago was 2020. People were wearing disposable gloves. People were afraid to touch packaging at the grocery store. People were disinfecting their produce. People couldn't buy toilet paper. Dipshits started politicizing masks and denying science. Businesses shut down. 350,000 Americans died. Literally no one was better off four years ago. You gaslighting dolts.
