I have a Medigap policy that skyrocketed to $360 a month! I can't afford it anymore but no 2026 rates are set.

I can't stand it. I doubled my monthly UNICEF giving but nothing can replace what trump took from the world. And these MAGA monsters call themselves pro life. 💔

I need to change my Medicare coverage during open enrollment, which is starting NOW, but who the heck knows what 2026 insurance premiums will be! Open enrollment needs to be extended until someone in the GOP grows a heart, a brain, or the nerve.

When Caesar can easily co-opt the language of faith ... it is only because Faith has sat in Caesar's lap for so long.

The fruit of Christian Nationalism, in all its forms, is rotten.

The Civil-Military Crisis Is Here The leaders of the U.S. military may soon face a terrible decision.

Only the military remains outside Trump’s grip. Despite the firing of several top officers—and his threat to fire more—the U.S. armed forces are still led by generals and admirals whose oath is to the Constitution, not the president. But for how long?

Eww. Many moons ago, I worked prep and broiler in a restaurant. I've shucked, deveined, descaled... but the absolute worst was cleaning octopus.

I learned to fly fish in a pristine lake in Ontario and caught the most beautiful trout. Cleaning them wasn't quite as glamorous but it was worth it.

Having spent a few summers in the Canadian maritimes, I can assure you that Canadian clams, lobster, and all fish are as good as it gets.

This is the way. Phenomenal.

They'd arrest Him in a heartbeat. And trump would have Him labeled a terrorist for reciting the Beatitudes to fellow prisoners.

The point of Jonah is not Nineveh’s repentance but Jonah’s fury at God’s mercy. It is a scathing parody of nationalistic religion that wants God on 'our side' and cannot stomach the possibility that God’s love extends beyond our religious and political borders, especially those considered 'enemies'.

Dr. Jane Goodall filmed an interview with Netflix in March 2025 that she understood would only be released after her death.

ICE, law enforcement & whoever else trump has in cities is escalating. Some of you may have never protested in your life. I protested in 1970s in a town whose police force was disbanded bc of corruption and violence. It's no fun to be beaten up. March w experienced people, look to them, be smart. 💜

#ProtestSafety
Do not wear contacts, jewelry, or clothing w identifiable logos. Tie back long hair.

👉Remain non violent. Do not give cops a reason to escalate. Do not get in cops faces, keep your hands in plain view. Do not resist arrest. Write phone # on arm of person who'll bail you out.

As a protestor, you represent the people you are protesting for. You call law enforcement Sir, don't get in their face, and do not engage with your hands behind your back unless you want to get shot. I've been in many protests over many years, including during 1970s race roits and 1980s ACT UP.

Absolutely correct advice.

Lessons to learn from this to minimize the Feds’ legal justification:

Don’t put your hand in the back part of your pants like that. Keep them visible.

When asked to step back, take some measurable step back.

Consult with local legal advocates regarding contours of lawful protest. Be careful.
