Start your morning with two minutes of the testimony of Samuel Garcia, an average American who drove 3 hours to speak truth to power to the Texas legislature. Let’s decide that we are all Samuel Garcia. Get in their faces and make them listen. Mr. Garcia is a great American.

Which reminds me, he voted for that Ten Commandments law, didn't he. Cue all the things Jesus said about hypocrites

Apparently, he didn't have the Ten Commandments posted. That would have saved him from the adultery

'Truly I say to you, to the extent that you did not do it to one of the least of these, you did not do it to Me.' And these will go away into eternal punishment [πŸ”₯], but the righteous into eternal life." This is indisputable proof that we are not, nor aspire to be, a "Christian Nation." 4/4

Then they themselves also will answer, saying, 'Lord, when did we see You hungry, or thirsty, or a stranger, or naked, or sick, or in prison, and did not take care of You ?' Then He will answer them, saying, 3/4

for I was hungry and you gave Me nothing to eat; was thirsty, and you gave Me nothing to drink; I was a stranger and you did not invite Me in; naked, and you did not clothe Me; sick, and in prison, and you did not visit Me.' 2/4

We watch only PBS Newshour. One hour is plenty to be well informed. The rest, we read: NYT, The Atlantic, Le Monde (we are Americans living in France), Harpers, various substacks. Just say no to 24-hour corporate entertainment disguised as news.

Andry JosΓ© HernΓ‘ndez 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 43 days.

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

I just gently corrected a few doctors because my records hadn’t been updated at this hospital yet and they had my old name.

Not one of them blinked when I said I was a guy and the name and gender they had was incorrect. They just asked the receptionist to change it.

It really is that simple.
