Yes, I’m a real person. No, I haven’t posted much yet. Democrat. Kansan. I work in higher Ed, read the news, and am too busy blocking idiots to post.
Had to go away for a short work trip and everyone is miffed. None of my explanations are working… 😉

We must return to truthful communication - say clearly, “He is lying,” “He is committing fraud,” and remind the media consistently that they are complicit in covering up for him.

Opinion: Yes, There Was A Media Scandal In 2024. No, It Wasn’t About Joe Biden.
The political press corps started ‘normalizing’ Trump just weeks after Jan. 6, 2021, to get access. That’s a big reason Trump later won, not some ‘cover-up’ of Biden’s age.

“If you live here, you’re a Kansan. Democrat, Republican, man, woman, gay, trans, straight... Harris voters, Trump voters, Stein voters...The fact that Marshall’s staff feels comfortable insulting such a wide swath of the state suggests the senator has little interest in this state or his people.”

Today matters. What we, as believers in a Savior who told us how to treat the hungry, the immigrant, the unhoused do today will tell the world how much or how little our beliefs matter - if we do not speak back strongly beginning today, we shame His name.
Every act of courage matters now.
Don't leave it to someone else - an authority, someone with power. You need to be brave.
We always spoke of everyday kindness. What we need now is everyday courage.
