Sir Ian McKellen performing a monologue from Shakespeare’s Sir Thomas More on the Stephen Colbert show. Never have I heard this monologue performed with such a keen sense of prescience. Nor have I ever been in this exact historical moment.TY Sir Ian, for reaching us once again.

an infant and small children. It’s simply too much to bear. May those who have caused this harm come to justice soon.

Minnesota is just inexcusable evil. Teens being abducted, schools being raided, a young mother killed, children being held hostage outside a home tocoerce a parent to come out, teargas thrown into a car with

Pro-life Republicans say they care about children. They want children to be born. They want children raised in a home with both a father and a mother. But actions speak louder than words. I’ve felt a holy rage these first days of 2026. The harm being done to the children - ALL of the children - in

WHERE ARE THE PEOPLE!?

Where is Congress? Where are they?

I want to film this for my kids & my grandkids. I want them to see the day democracy died in Washington, D.C.

Even George is upset 🦮
& we should all be shocked!
No one is here to say this is wrong!

I was born here.
I'm Andrew Howard.

Rep Jim McGovern (D-MA) is a national treasure!! Watch as he drops receipt after receipt about how Trump promised us a great, phenomenal, tremendous new health care plan and has delivered nothing. Premiums are about to skyrocket and Americans are sick and tired of it!!🔥💥🔥

1. As we look forward to seeing the effect of the “No Kings” protests this Saturday, I think it’s important to bring forward the theological nature of what millions of Americans will be demonstrating against.

So grateful you are speaking truth every day on that network. It must be exhausting, but you do it so well!

This is my kind of leader!

#NoKings

Exactly! I remember as a child singing the words to the song “Trust and obey, for there’s no other way, to be happy in Jesus, but to trust and obey.” Explains a lot.

THANK YOU, SENATOR BOOKER! I can't believe you are still going! Thank you so much for doing everything you can to push back against those who are actively attacking our democracy.

Chutzpah

I am both angry and ashamed at what this administration is doing to our allies - and especially to Canada! I love your country. My grandparents were born in Newfoundland. Hit us as hard as you can because it may be the only way out of this mess.

I also wonder how my own mother can’t recognize what’s happening after living through the 1930’s and 1940’s. She’s still pretty sharp mentally, but I can’t talk with her about anything political because she only believes Fox News and the right-wing pastors she watches on tv. It’s so frustrating.

At our house we watched a disaster movie (Greenland) instead of the inaugural disaster at noon today. I still cannot believe this is our reality.

I just finished all 3 seasons. It gets better and better!

Happy Birthday, Pat! I’m a January 2 baby too!

When I was deep into evangelical world, I always wondered who those "Christmas and Easter services only" people were. I had no idea that many of them might have been just like me, gently putting their feet back in the water, hoping it was safe.

Ever since the evangelical church decided that political power was more important than the gospel of Jesus, I have been spiritually homeless. I haven't attended church anywhere. Today, I will attend a Christmas Eve service at a local Episcopal church. I'm ready.

Mine, too!!

Here’s a different kind of prayer.

It's like watching the first third of a disaster movie. All the characters go about their business as usual, but because you've seen disaster movies before, you know what's coming. Your blood pressure begins rising even before the bad stuff begins. I'll be entering 2025 peeking through my fingers.

I am no expert on psychology or sociology, but I believe the pandemic broke America. Everything became a simple binary choice. Wear a mask or not. Open your church or stay closed. The vaccine is good or bad. Scientists are truthful or they are lying. Having a horrible leader just made it worse.

I'm so very sorry for the loss of your dad. That sick icky dreadful feeling may be your new normal for quite some time. Just take one day at a time, and if that's too much for right now, just focus on the next hour. It's hard. Really, really hard, but you will get through this. 💔

There’s a 10% chance I might have continued watching if they had conducted a hard-hitting interview and aired it this week, but they didn’t. I am 100% done with them. Christmas music has taken their place in the mornings.

Same here!

Still working through the stages of grief here. I realized today that the 2026 World Cup and 2028 Olympics will happen here and America’s 250th will be in 2026. I just broke down and cried. He is not worthy to represent us at these events. Tomorrow I’ll be ready to fight, but today I weep.
