Hi, I’m God.

Jesus and I agree that starving the poor so you can build yourself golden bathrooms and golden ballrooms is evil. Anyone who does that shall burn for eternity. Thank you for your attention to this matter.

Thanks,

God

The Ministry of Truth is keeping busy.

This is the president of the United States taking a break from gold-and-marble interior renovations to say he’ll defy a court order to feed hungry Americans.

Nero would be proud.

The president of the United States thinks asylum-seekers come from mental asylums.

He says it in almost every interview where the topic of migration comes up.

How is this not 25th Amendment territory? How is he not an embarrassment to this entire country?

Network edits, you say?

Lawsuit time.

Adelita Grijalva now holds the record for longest delay between winng a special Congressional election and being sworn into office.

Why the delay from Mike Johnson?

Perhaps it's because Grijalva would cast the final vote needed to release the Epstein files.

A) Venezuela has oil reserves. B) Wars are profitable for tyrants and C) provide distraction from other issues. D) For authoritarians and fascists if you cant get the resources take the resources. E) No Congress means no oversight. F) “But they cant do that!” Well. They are.

Shenanigan Cocktail.

I voted YES on Prop 50 because we cannot let anyone silence the will of the people.

California is fighting fire with fire and standing up for democracy everywhere. Vote yes on Prop 50 by mail or in person on Election Day, this Tuesday, November 4.

California, we have the power to stop election rigging, right now!

Did you get your ballot in? I did and so did my entire family. Remind everyone you know. 👊🏽

A president who routinely gives orders attempting to rewrite history, is a president who's planning to commit atrocities.

Welch: "This has nothing to do with the shutdown. The law requires and the funds are available to continue SNAP right now without any interruption. So that is a decision the president is making on his own to allow people to go hungry."

Never in the history of the US has any president openly and repeatedly called for the investigation, arrest & prosecution of his political opponents. While many continue to shrug these things off and normalize them, I will never stop pointing out that this is what autocrats do.

Still awaiting my George $oros payment for showing up at #NoKINGS_Day & staying until noon.

Somebody slipped this 20 under my door, but something about it seems fake.

Gallego: "It's murder. It's very simple. If this president feels they are doing something illegally, then he should be using the Coast Guard. If this is an act of war, then you use our military and then you come and talk to us first. But this is murder ... it's disgusting."

This video from Portland is a metaphor for what is going on in America. ICE trying so hard to get Americans to cross a line and if they don't, dragging them across the line and violently attacking.

I listened to your audiobook on Thursday while I was driving to Portland and back. LOVED IT. Thank you!

"At this moment in time, of course, the release of the TRUMPSTEIN Files is really the public's main priority."

It’s lovely! On my most recent sweater I used helical knitting to alternate skeins and that worked really well, with no noticeable change points. You can only use it when in the round, so it won’t work on the short rows sections, but otherwise is cool.

Today, Mike Johnson will keep the House adjourned for the 81st day out of the last 93.

12 days of work in over 3 months.

With full pay and benefits.

The senate has been working, so this is not about the shutdown.

It is about avoiding a vote to release the Epstein files.

Don’t laugh at this. Don’t dismiss it. They’re serious. Prepare for it. And get ready to fight against it.

Here are the companies destroying the east wing of the White House

Over the past week, the president said the DOJ should pay him a quarter billion dollars, bulldozed half the White House to build himself a gaudy ballroom, bragged about murdering civilians in international waters, pardoned some more criminals, directed federal prosecutors to indict his opponents ...

Today, the White House Press Secretary told the country that this ridiculous damn ballroom is “the president’s main priority”…not reopening the government, not lowering the cost of groceries, not lowering the cost of housing, not lowering the cost of healthcare….building a ballroom

I am completely awestruck by the ease with which Mike Johnson lies on a daily basis. I'll never understand how such a transparently fraudulent "man of faith" can live with themselves. Life is too short to be that phony.

christ almighty what is this guy doing

The White House is asking people not to share pictures of the East Wing because it’s even worse today.

No, they were all gifts for Christmas last year. Super fun!

It’s an incredible book and on Ravelry. Search for Nancy Bates. The designs are lovely.
