Thanks for the recommendation! Just reserved it at my library.

Lovely to see all the Ash Wednesday "look at my ashes, I'm a sinner, God loves me" pics from folks who spend 365 days a year spewing rhetoric and idolizing leaders who contradict Christ's empathetic teachings. Truly touching.

Sure, child sex trafficking is bad.

But did you know the Dow is doing well?

Gonna need Season 4 to get here a little sooner in order to save our sanity.

Rest in Peace Alex Jeffrey Pretti🙏🏾 The VA ICU Nurses send him off right 💔

In the past few days, a gift I ordered was shipped through the USPS.

Destination? Northwest Missouri.

It originated in New York then went to Des Moines, Iowa, then went to <checks notes> Charlotte, North Carolina.

Yeah. That tracks.

If we dismiss or excuse actions that turn out to be illegal, there's nothing to prevent other countries from doing the same against Americans, including our own military.

The moral high ground - as well as the rules of law and military engagement - will no longer exist. And people we love will die.

Reading comments from people saying public schools are failing and should just concentrate on reading, writing and math, yet <checks notes> one can barely read their comments because they seem to be written by kindergarteners.

I'd call it irony but fear those folks don't know what irony is.

Congrats!

Non-MAGA MO voter here. Many of us are concerned about multiple issues at the state and federal levels. We're complicated like that.

I live in a small town of about 90+ percent white folks and a public university. Housing prices have historically been high with low inventory due to out-of-staters buying up properties to rent to college students. It's rich folks padding their portfolios. Not "illegals."

Oh, how this speaks to my soul.

Folks, the fountain of youth does exist I recently ran into a lovely woman whom I hadn’t seen in 10 years or more. Retired but fierce, she’s living her best life, helping her com...

"When we live with love, curiosity and compassion, the world sees it. And that, my friends, is a kind of beauty no mirror can truly capture.

Turns out, the face you wear is the life you’ve lived. So live kindly. Live gently. Live with joy.

It’ll show."

The number of Trump voters I know who are now begging their communities to join in support of SNAP recipients, seniors, food banks, etc. is astounding. Yet, they won’t see THEY helped get us here. By the way, the rest of us have already been helping. They’re preaching to the choir.

I know it's a fool's errand to expect anything from the media but "President posts video of himself dumping diarrhea on America" is an important thing to call attention to for a dozen reasons

My grandpa was a retired chief of police, so I back the blue.

But the # of cops (& spouses) in my small community denouncing or making fun of #NoKings is one reason many distrust police. The optics aren't great when the very people tasked w/ protecting our rights aren't supportive of those rights.

I'm anti-fascism, and I love America.

For the love of all that is good and holy, I cry every time I run over one of these gentle creatures because there's no avoiding them on the highways without swerving to my doom.

Does that scream "Domestic Terrorist" to you? 😆😆😆

The trolls sure are triggered today on Columbus Day vs. Indigenous Peoples' Day. Geesh.

If Speaker Mike Johnson had a nose like Pinocchio, it'd be halfway to the moon after just one news conference. I'd never be allowed to lie so much and still keep a job. I work in a monastery, so the standards are much higher, I guess.

"The Residence" was <chef's kiss>.

I am a Christian. I have not been persecuted nor hated for my faith. I do not, however, spew toxic racism, bigotry and sexism on a daily basis nor belittle and torment others around the world. It is one's ACTIONS - not faith - people can find offensive. Thanks for attending my Ted Talk.

SCOTUS: considering race as one factor in a college applicant's file is blatantly unconstitutional

ALSO SCOTUS: considering race as one factor in targeting whom to detain and deport is cool cool cool

Watching RFK Jr in his congressional hearing makes me think, "They say women are too emotional for leadership."

He should smile more.

You’d think that the sitting President of the United States being credibly implicated in the world’s most nefarious pedophilia scandal would be a much bigger deal.

Every activated Guardsman has a family, a job, school, or something that they are leaving to do their duty.

It’s one thing when it’s a war… or a real mass civil disturbance, which those only last a few days.

But to rip these people from their lives for a show… is awful.

Yes! It served as the inspiration for a program at our local high school, which provides free books each month to any student interested in building/adding to their own library. No forms. No income guidelines. No paperwork. Just kids who love to read.

Same. Sigh.
