I’ve only cried once during Madam Secretary.

Daily reminder that there are 3 co-equal branches of government
Today, the lunatic is arguing since he won the election (debatable) in a mandate (false) our laws should not apply to him (super false).

That anyone in the judiciary, a co-equal branch of government, who dares question his authority should be impeached (batshit bananas dictatorspeak).

We are staying at a VRBO in Mexico in a couple weeks in a community mostly populated by retired Canadians. Hoping that they don’t immediately hate us 😵‍💫 I feel like I need to wear a t shirt that says “Sorry, my country is run by idiots”

Kelly: When I was flying in combat over Iraq during the first Gulf War, I didn’t expect that there was a 10-year-old kid sitting in South Africa who would one day become the richest guy in the world and call me a traitor for doing my job. Now, he kind of acts like a 12-year-old kid

Tyranny requires your fear, your silence, and your compliance.

Democracy requires your courage.

Conspiracists are about to get a dose of reality
Antivaxers, cranks and fantasists thrive in safe, stable societies but the days of consequence-free idiocy may be ending

I pray that the current administration will be held accountable. This poor family.
This is just one of thousands of harrowing stories told about the U.S. Government abandoning Americans abroad in the USAID shutdown. This is Benghazi times a million. 1/

A little Sunday encouragement:
These two remind me of the verse that prophesies that the lion will lay down with the lamb. Our dog is a killer of animals that are the same size as our cat, and yet the two have quite the friendship

Over the past ten years I’ve moved from hyper-conservative to independent.
The last two weeks are pushing me further left.
Ready for some leadership.
DNC Chair Nominee Martin O'Malley:

"We must change to combat the misinformation and disinformation from plutocrats at home and foreign actors abroad and set up an information war room of our own to combat their lies."

YAAAAASSSSSS!

2024 has been one of the hardest years our family has ever had. I’m not feeling optimistic about 2025, but praying that God is going to continue to give the strength to keep moving forward.
Earlier today I was thinking, well I guess it’s only this hard until we die. I can handle that.

I figured I’d finally join this app since I’m in way over my head in a musical production of White Christmas, and the song Blue Skies is on repeat within the walls of my cranium.

I’ve already seen 2 Blue bird photos on my feed, so I’ll take that as confirmation that this is where it’s at.
