Your Salty Chaplain

The Trump admin has caused untold pain and suffering to innocent people seeking a better life in America.

Coming to the US once filled people with hope and relief, now it surely elicits dread and fear.

This must always be tied to Trump’s legacy

Wow, so on the ground, no longer a threat and still being beaten!?

Land of the free, am I right?

ImmDef Decries U.S. Government’s Role in Disappearing Venezuelan Men under Alien Enemies Act, Celebrates Release of Clients, and Calls for Due Process Andry Hernández Romero is released from El Salvador's CECOT mega-prison.

It looks like Andry was likely released!! This is huge news!!

May we never forget what the Trump admin has put all of these people through

Heartbreaking and infuriating.

And worth remembering when Fox News personalities joke about being Nazis, the systematic destruction and devastation visited upon Eva, her family, and millions of others was carried out by Nazis.

It’s not funny and it shouldn’t be platformed

Quote of Trump expressing his appreciation for Epstein in the New Yorker

I mean, he had some awfully nice things to say about Epstein, so that is pretty plausible

A romanticized painting titled New Life in a New Land by Morgan Weistling, depicting a young white pioneer family inside a covered wagon. The mother cradles a newborn baby while the father, wearing a wide-brimmed hat, lovingly gazes at them. Outside the wagon, a bright landscape shows open plains, distant mountains, and another covered wagon in the background. The image is accompanied by a tweet from the U.S. Department of Homeland Security (@DHSgov) that reads: “Remember your Homeland’s Heritage. New Life in a New Land – Morgan Weistling.”

If you have friends or family who are like, “I don’t really understand this white supremacy thing,” show them this unhinged pic posted by our fricken government.

It should replace the definition of “white supremacy” in the dictionary

It is unconscionable that Andry and others are still in an El Salvador gulag.

We cannot forget about Andry and the others.

Andry José Hernández Romero, I remember you, even if I do not know how to articulate my horror, rage, & sorrow at your treatment by my government.

No one has heard from you in 120 days.

As vigil, I’m posting a photo or video of you every day until you are returned from El Salvador.

Who needs ethics, am I right?

That tracks with this admin

Rig count has fallen for 11 consecutive weeks. ⛽️

We have three branches of government: the executive, the yes men, and the people who never say no

A New Yorker cartoon by Paul Noth shows a hospital room with a patient sitting in bed, one arm in a cast and sling. A doctor stands at the foot of the bed, looking at a clipboard. The patient looks displeased. A bedside table holds tissues, a drink, and a cap. The caption reads: “You no longer have Medicaid, so expect a big beautiful bill.”

The artists @newyorker.com don’t miss

Leaders call for release of Cincinnati Children's Hospital chaplain detained by ICE Faith leaders and local politicians are calling for the release of Ayman Soliman, who is being held at the Butler County Jail.

Just the worst of the worst. The criminals, the drug dealers, the rapists, those taking advantage of the system, and not doing it “the right way,” right?

Do I have the propaganda, right?

@raskin.house.gov: "Either Donald Trump is protecting himself because he's on it and/or he's protecting other people who are on it and/or there are people that he wants to have leverage over."

Trump cuts to National Cancer Institute are so drastic that its Physician Data Query, which compiles info doctors turn to when caring for cancer patients, is not being updated.This is dangerous - tell our reps to restore funding

This is a great idea

WELKER: “NYT is reporting thousands of calls from flood victims to FEMA went unanswered because you didn't renew contracts to keep call centers staffed.”

NOEM: “Fake news.”

Again: ‘1984’ is upon us.

This is absolutely horrible. We have to make these stories known to anyone who will listen

Holy shit -- Kevin Hassett completely bombs on ABC when pressed by Jon Karl to explain how Trump can possibly justify 50% tariffs on Brazil even though the country has a trade *deficit* with the US

oh this is interesting. i pretty firmly believe, just as a matter of observation and experience, that complaints about affirmative action are a psychological salve for people who aren’t confident of their ability to succeed

"Questioning is the way of learning,"

Encourage your children to ask questions, not to accept existing answers.

1. Release the Epstein files!

2. The Epstein files are sitting on my desk and I will release them very soon

3. There are no Epstein files and the case is closed

4. There are Epstein files but they are forgeries created by Obama and Hillary so if you like me you will never talk about them again

As Scooby Doo taught millions of TV watchers: if the deceased villain's best friend tells you there's nothing worth seeing inside the locked closet ... there's probably something worth seeing inside the locked closet.

Some Texas Officials Didn’t Respond to Flood Alerts, Echoing the Tragedies of Hurricane Helene Weather warnings predicted devastation from both the Texas floods and Hurricane Helene. But in both disasters, people were left in harm’s way.

A Texas official said “there wasn’t a lot of time” to alert camps of the flood risk. But AccuWeather’s chief meteorologist said warnings gave “plenty of time to evacuate people to higher ground.”

“The question is, Why did that not happen?” he said.

FEMA Didn’t Answer Thousands of Calls From Flood Survivors, Documents Show

The incompetence of this administration is stunning.
Two days after the floods in Texas, FEMA failed to answer two-thirds of incoming calls. Contractors were laid off on July 5th, and Kristi Noem didn’t renew their contracts until five days later.

A - freaking - men. Mobilize now!

We don’t have time to wait
