Das sieht lecker aus!

Oh good! It's not just me. I said to my wife, "They march like they're autistic." I'm autistic and this is literally how we all walk. 😂

Today they have crossed a deep red line.

We, the people, must hold the president and his appointees accountable for this outrageous abuse against American liberty.

Yay Vermont! We freed Mohsen Mahdawi. We'll free Rümeysa Öztürk too. 😀

Star Wars Intro Scroll Episode IV It Was All So Stupid Seriously, you would not believe how stupid it was. Every day, unrelentingly, just the dumbest stuff by the absolute worst people. And what made it worse was knowing that we’d brought this on ourselves.

Auf deutsch: "Steck's dir in den Arsch!" 🤣

Straight out of the Abuser's Handbook: Distract the other person from your awfulness by accusing them of doing the awful things. Everything they're going after Democrats for are things THEY'RE the ones actually doing.

If you support the deportation of children with cancer and the vilification of immigrants and you believe that the New Testament is the Word of God, get ready to fry in hell.

Evil soulless bastards

Me speaking about the magic of birds in flight: "I love that birds can just fly. They're so three dimensional. Much more satisfying to watch than an earthbound pet. Just leap off the curtain rod and soar. Tracing an arc across the room like that would kill a hamster, but for a bird it's nothing."

Remember when the president was against weaponizing the FBI? Those were the days.

It's Autism Acceptance Month. Will there be another one, next year? That all depends on you. It depends on everyone. Stand with us against this assault on our autonomy, agency, and dignity. When future generations ask what you did to stop this, what will you say?

After my dad asks if we can appeal to the GOP's sense of decency.

“It's hypocrisy to call yourself a Christian and chase away a refugee or someone seeking help, someone who is hungry or thirsty, toss out someone who is in need of my help.
If I say I am Christian, but do these things, I'm a hypocrite."

-Pope Francis

There is still time.
Confess that you were wrong.
Commit now to make it right.
Condemn cruelty, arrogance, and greed.

Stand instead for righteousness, justice, mercy, service, compassion.
Be the vessel. Be the voice. Shine the light.
Cast out the darkness.

Every day that followers of Christ remain silent, they surrender more of their moral authority.

God is not using Trump to bring about God's will. Trump is using the name of God to bring about Trump's will.

He was a vocal critic of the Trump administration's open hostility and cruelty toward the disadvantaged, saying:

“How much contempt is stirred up at times towards the vulnerable, the marginalized and migrants.”

Pope Francis died today. While some popes in history chose silence or diplomatic caution in the face of evil, Pope Francis raised his voice—not just as a spiritual leader, but as a defender of the vulnerable, even when it meant confronting the powerful.

Pope Pius XI in 1937, “Whoever exalts race, or the people, or the State... above their standard value and divinizes them to an idolatrous level, distorts and perverts an order of the world planned and created by God.”

Been thinking a lot lately about the morals of Jesus of Nazareth.

As a tan man from the Middle East, if Jesus were an undocumented American immigrant, I wonder if angry mobs would get ICE to deport him — especially for speaking out against greed and advocating for the poor.

Your grandkids will have questions. What will you tell them? I want them to be proud of me. I want them to be inspired. When democracy is theirs, I want them to know it's worth defending.

Also on the spectrum, Jasmine, and thank you! 😊 I would argue there are millions who can do these things. Some are thriving, some are surviving, some are failing. It can change by the day. But regardless of one's capacity, we all deserve to be treated with respect, dignity, and agency.

Things MAGA folks will never say ... and GO! 😂

That's so great, Hank. That's our senator!
