Can we stop with the 'America was founded as a #Christian nation' lies?
Jesus never told His followers "kill the kings soldiers, take over the country so you didn’t have to pay taxes, then kill all the native peoples & ship in black people from other nations for slaves"
smh & spit on the ground…

We are in a freeze watch for tomorrow night. So, today we started pulling out the garden. Here is some of the strawberry popcorn we grew. I love it so much! #gardening

Watch Doris Mack talk about Mrs. Roosevelt who was a true ally. www.youtube.com/watch?v=ADCQ...

While doing my doctoral research in Hyde Park I was asked to conduct a short interview with Mrs. Mack for the Park files. She's now 105 yo. It was a true honor to meet her.

Doris Mack has seen quite a lot over the past 105 years that she's been alive.

Hey NJ, if you're on well water like I am, prepare for power outages and have lots of bottled water on hand.

▫️Bottled water, fill tub
▫️Buy PBJ and bread for sandwiches
▫️Charge all devices
▫️Full tank of gas in car
▫️Secure outdoor items
▫️Keep pets inside
▫️No candles. Use battery lanterns

Jews are indigenous to the land of Israel. The primary prayer of Judaism begins, "Hear, oh Israel". The name Israel appears approximately 2,000 times in the Hebrew Bible, which includes the Jewish Torah, with most sources citing figures around 2,000 to 2,500 times.

Israel is not an apartheid. An Israeli citizen who is a Jew and an Israeli citizen who is not a Jew have equal protections under the law. In Israel, an ethnic Palestinian can own property, own and operate businesses, employ Jews, run for and serve in public office, etc.

Little man Johnson does not need ONE democratic vote to pass a standalone bill to pay our military.

These are disgusting, despicable, human beings.

Do not call this a 'prisoner exchange'.

The #Israelis to be released from #Gaza are #hostages - who have been tortured, starved and executed.

The #Palestinians being released are #convicted #terrorists and #mass #murderers with blood on their hands.

There is no equivalence. None !!!

Stop calling the #Palestinians the 'victims':

Victims don't hold #hostages.
Victims don't #murder 1,200 innocent people.
Victims don't #torture, #rape and #murder.
Victims don't #start #wars.
Victims don't #celebrate #death.
Victims don't #burn people alive.

Just stating the obvious here.

Trump may be scoring points in the Middle East but between his Big Ugly Bill and his occupation of American cities, his domestic policies are downright criminal. #Trump #MiddleEast #hostages #Hamas #Israel #Healthcare #Medicaid #GOPShutdown #MikeJohnson #GovernmentShutdown
