This is the email I sent to my preacher back in 2021, I had enough. I attended this congregation for 20+ years. I refuse to accept hate & hypocrisy! It was probably the hardest thing I had ever done. Well, besides standing up to my conservative parents, my dad was an evangelical preacher. 🙄

You spoke the sad, hard truth. I cry about this on a daily basis. This is not what most Americans want, it is barbaric and a crime against humanity. 😭😭

Not just the guys at the top, those are American neo-nazis wearing masks and body armor, they have their own ARs and they are getting paid to live out their dreams. You're getting to see just how many there are, and this is their country now.

Every day brings new infuriating,evil things from this administration. The hellish things that ICE agents are doing are the absolute worst for me. Masked thugs beating,hitting immigrants and citizens,and when asked what they have done,nothing.Whoever thinks this is normal is absolutely delusional😡.

Adelita Grijalva won her election fair and square.

Now House Speaker Mike Johnson is refusing to swear her in because she would be the final signature to release the Epstein files.

Mr. Speaker, respect democracy. Obey the law. Swear Representative Grijalva in immediately.

Those who claim to be Christian seem to be facing a cross roads. You cannot believe that Jesus Christ himself would be on the side of the masked thugs of ICE.

I feel like this photo of masked, armed men pepper spraying a pastor protecting his community is going to be a defining picture of this moment in America for a long, long time.

Still pretty amazing to me that the richest people on Earth got together and conspired to destroy everything good in the world, and then thought they’d be able to rule over the rotting corpse of what remained.

But that’s what happened.

And I still don’t understand the endgame.

This has nothing to do with crime. This is an attempt to crush political dissent.

Never before, in our entire 250 year history, has the military or immigration agents been used like this. It's dystopian, illegal, and it should stop.

I grew up singing, "Jesus loves the little Children". If you claim to be a Christian and you support what is being done to immigrants, even children, you need to read the Bible and stop using it as a weapon for hate.

Republicans can no longer do that because it would have them question their own morality.

This just gave me chills. She is my hero - I always wanted to be the next Jane Goodall but life took a different turn for me.

I keep returning to this book to keep from giving up.

#MorningVibe

Last month, workers painted over the rainbow-colored crosswalk outside the LGBTQ Pulse nightclub in Orlando.
Se7en Bites owner Trina Gregory said "If they want to erase symbols of pride and acceptance, then we'll create even more of them"
#ArtAsActivism

An Orlando resturant owner gave 49 of her parking spots to artists to protest a state ban on rainbow-colored crosswalks

THE CHICKENS ARE FINALLY COMING HOME TO ROOST

Ryan Walters is out & the investigation floodgates just opened. The Oklahoma AG launched a full audit of Walters’ entire tenure as Superintendent, and it’s about damn time.

Also the education dept website’s being scrubbed of his culture-war nonsense.
