Woody Guthrie wrote about Donald Trump's father, Fred, and his racist rental policies. He never recorded it but he wrote it down, and others have recorded a revision of his song "I Ain't Got No Home in this World Anymore" to include Guthrie's thoughts on Trump. Search it out.

And if we let this all go by without weeping for these victims, what good are we? My heart hurts every day.

I keep seeing people being dragged away by anonymous, unidentified people. They are locked up for weeks, maybe deported, without being charged, seeing a lawyer or allowed to contact their families. Yes, comparisons with Hitler are now apt. And Ribbentrop. Next, Himmler.

OK, this straight male is tired of MAGA creeps calling gay men groomers and pedophiles. The vast majority of groomers and pedophiles are straight men, as women in my family could testify to. So, MTG & friends, you want to shift your attention? Or don't you care what's true?

Hi all, once again, I do not respond to requests for support of individuals, nor do I donate to individuals who ping me on this app. I don't know you and I don't know if you're honest (apologies). I donate to organizations only.

I was listening to "Blowin' in the Wind" today and the line "How many deaths will it take till we know that too many people have died" hit me hard, taking me from the past to the present in an instant.

I just read that Vance had the Army Corps of Engineers open a dam so his family could have better kayaking for a birthday party. Who does that?!

Been away for a while - writing our senators and reps to focus on the dying people, in Gaza and in ICE custody, maybe from withheld medications. What country is this? We're arguing about budgets while our nation and allies are literally killing people?

You love all words that hurt,

Part 2: Amos had something to say today:
"Hear this, you that trample on the needy,and bring to ruin the poor of the land...
buying the poor for silver
and the needy for a pair of sandals...
Surely I will never forget any of their deeds."

One difference between Christians is those who use lectionaries and those who don't. Those who don't get to repeat their favorite scriptures every Sunday. Those who do deal with what was on the lectionary today (see Part 2)

Israel used to say not to criticize them unless you criticize the PLO too. That's only fair if it works both ways. You can criticize Palestinians after saying Israel blew up religious hospitals and a Catholic church as well as people waiting for food. And yes, killing of non-combatants is bad. OK?

I see San Francisco is trying to "solve" homelessness again by criminalizing it. Parking limits for RVs? In the '80s they tried to criminalize giving food to unhoused people, and the cops threw their belongings away when the went into a potty. Solved it by making people go to Berkeley.

So what if he's not on the list? We know he liked to walk into beauty pageant dressing rooms to ogle. We know he cheated on all his wives. We know he was convicted of sexual assault and accused of other assaults. Epstein doesn't stand alone. We already know who he is.

Where are the lawsuits from our senators and representatives to get justice for the people who have died in custody? It's one thing to enter a facility and inform us but we need more.

I have a family member who thinks all Muslims want to kill us. He can't understand why a Palestinian Muslim friend came to a Lebanese Christian's funeral in our church. We're all part of the same family. Right now, Israel is killing our family as if all Palestinians are terrorists. God knows better.

Hey, MAGA Christians: Luke 1:52-53, the Virgin Mary rejoicing in God's purpose for the Messiah: "He has brought down the powerful from their thrones, and lifted up the lowly; he has filled the hungry with good things, and sent the rich away empty." Which side are you on?

LBJ stepped into the tarpit of Vietnam. That's why we got Nixon. I think that's also why Democrats have forgotten how he did good things about racism and poverty. I worked for the OEO (anybody remember that?) helping people of all races find jobs. Nixon ended it.

IDF fired a fragmentation missile near a group of women and children waiting for food in Gaza. Over a dozen killed, mostly children. Israel is "investigating" themselves. Criticizing this is considered antisemitic. IMHO, disliking Jews is different from disliking Netanyahu.

OK, he killed countless kids and adults by starvation and withholding medicine. He leveraged governments to ignore Tesla's fatal flaws. He hollowed out the safety net for you and me. Now he wants his own political party. He should go back to South Africa but they don't want him.

Trump recently said egg prices are down 85 to 90%. More recently he said they cost $1.85 or $1.90 a dozen. And that makes everything else OK, right? Because that's what MAGA voted for.
