it’s hard to believe this, but isn’t holding on to faith at a moment like this the greatest display of that faith? #politics
If so, rejoice then. For the I AM who brought you here will surely not abandon you now. It’s now that we are carried. #Faith #LoveOverFear #LoveUsThroughThis #Loveanyway

At what point can we say someone has used malicious intent, defied logic, science, and reason, and in doing so has been criminally negligent in the exacusion of the duties of their office.

I don’t know who needs to hear this but the CDC is being eviscerated right now. America is not going to have any kind of outbreak response capacity after tonight. Americans’ health data is no longer secure. Say goodbye to federal public health in any capacity. It’s a disaster. We won’t recover.

Let’s check the score.

My first thought was that they could arm themselves with guns that shoot soap bubbles, but that might escalate threat. Then, I thought about releasing butterflies or doves. Doves might be the best idea because of the imagery.

This is the best idea to fight back against Trump. Everyone should wear a costume for protest.

Pete Hegseth announced an agreement today to build a Qatari Emiri Air Force facility at a U.S. Air Force Base in Idaho.

Reminder: Earlier this year, the Trump admin accepted a Boeing 747 jet as a gift from the Qatari royal family.

These narcissistic grandiose billionaires believe anyone who would have the audacity to reject their ideas must be the antichrist. Nah bro, we just have basic empathy and want to protect our rights. You happen to be so hopped up on your own ego you can’t fathom someone would disagree.

We are funding genocide by the BILLIONS

The Tennessee Holler @thetnholler.bsky.social · 15h

-$33 BILLION in military aid over 2 years
-$45 MILLION every day
-$144/month per every 🇮🇱 citizen from 🇺🇸

As 🇮🇱 has free health care, free college, subsidized child care… and we do not.

Lack of courage and integrity is correct.

Anonymous @youranoncentral.bsky.social · 15h

The chairman of the Nobel Peace Prize confirms that Donald Trump does not meet the moral and ethical standards associated with the award, citing a lack of courage and integrity a trait that defines MAGA.

Every day is Mental Health Day in trump's dystopia. Now, more than ever, we need to support each other. Because together, we can make it through anything.

Today on #WorldMentalHealthDay, let us remember that the greatest impact we have to reduce mental illnesses is to participate in building a world that is inclusive, equitable, and recognizes our diversities as identifiers and not representations of our worthiness for love, resources, and life.

Some reporting is that the GOP is planning to drop Trump when the Epstein files come out. I wouldn’t believe a word of it until we see it. After all, so many are involved from the leadership, how could they abandoned what they participated in.

Should elected officials be imprisoned for speaking out against an invasion of their cities? Hard to say. Very technical question. Really one for the lawyers to sort out.
