too funny

@nicollewallace.bsky.social thank you for the segment with the clergy today. We are so careful to separate church and state, appropriately, that we forget the many ways the church has influenced policy in our country. We need to take back the narrative from the Christian Nationalists.

@lawrenceodonnell.msnbc.com I agree with you. Where do we who want to speak plain language go to do that? What is our platform? Many of us, who are not in positions of power, can do it very eloquently. And we don’t have to worry about the next election: We are here. Tell us how we can be heard.

@khalilsayegh.bsky.social 's father died from lack of medical attention in December 2023 while taking shelter in a church in Gaza. If he can still retain his humanity--and insist upon the incalculable preciousness of all life--so can we

@katyturr, @cornellbecker and yummy @timmiller.bsky.social seemed flummoxed that young women put marriage and children at the end of their list of "how do you define success". As the mother of four twenty something women - Come on! Of course they do! This warrants WAY more discussion. @msnbc.com

If Bill Cassidy still has his medical license we all need to call for it to be revoked. Never has one M. D. done more harm.

Great seeing you on CNN @peterbeinart.bsky.social. People are starting to listen. Tragically late: but starting.

Many of you know my mom, and know that she has been ill. She passed peacefully this morning. I’m grateful I made it to Kentucky to be with her. She loved being a wife and mother but her favorite thing was being a grandma.

Trump told park workers to report displays that ‘disparage’ Americans. Here’s what they flagged Descriptions and displays at scores of parks and historic sites have been flagged for review in connection with an executive order from President Trump.

Question: where can one wrote more than a few words with the theme “Grow a Pair”?

James Carville may have had a point 😆 #karma #republicans

Exactly! Perfect imagery. As for me and my house, we will wear heels and no socks as long as possible.

How do I stay sanish during these challenging times? Fostering puppies and growing peonies. What about you? #puppies #foster #rescue #peonies #sanity

This has stumped me. If I had sons today I would be worried, not at all sure how to raise them. So many good parents are raising such toxic young men. My daughters' and their peers and the young men who have worked for me gave me so much hope for equal, happier, relationships. It's heart breaking.

I am LOVING that it's the Pope who is most effective at calling it out. I was raised Lutheran, raised my daughters Presbyterian, married a Jewish man and work for a Unitarian Church at the moment. I've been critical of the Catholic Church. But they are Rockin the Free World right now.

There's time - it will get better. I believe that.

I took my girls to see Obama when he ran, then to a watch party on election night, when they were little. That's the world they grew up in. It's so painful watching them see the best in humans, and now the worst.

I love Michelle Norris! I raised my daughters in public schools in Seattle. Years ago I mentioned that my boss was sexist - they said sexism doesn't exist anymore (I know). To watch them go into the world with so much optimism, and to watch so much cruelty and inequity - it's heartbreaking.

I just heard @tressiemcphd.bsky.social on MSNBC. I had chills. Her comments on our current political situation, the impact it has on our young people and what it will take to undo the damage being done, was profound. As the mother of four daughters in their twenties everything she said resonates.

Thank you, Harvard. And thank you for tremendous reporting, @lawrenceodonnell.msnbc.com

The Democrats/the Left should learn something from Kendrick Lamar's BRILLIANT performance. Love it or hate it, people are talking about it. And the history lessons in the performance, and the commentary ever since, have gone viral. It's made many people stop and think. That's how it's done!

It's the most disgusting, dangerous, immoral...what is happening? All of the suffering, all over the world. All leading to more terrorists and more refugees. More death, more pain, more trauma. I simply do not understand how so many people lack compassion. I feel something beyond grief and anger.

A memo listing all of the clubs eliminated by USMA.

The United States Military Academy has just eliminated all Cadet clubs and activities for POC. Most of these have existed for decades like the Society of Black Engineers. They were there when I was a Cadet in 1987. All of the religious ones remain. This isn’t DEI. It’s white Christian Nationalism.

My thoughts exactly

This is so good.

Oppressive political systems don’t have a right to exist.

Excellent choice!

We need to be kicked out of NATO. If our leaders are going to remain weak and self serving then more responsible leaders need to stand up to them.

This is a terrifying moment. This press conference is sending chills down my spine. So ashamed of our country.

Bibi is skilled at kissing Trump’s ass. I feel sick. Ashamed to be an American.

Please listen to or read this book. The press conference going on right now is terrifying.
