A dinosaur talking with an NPR producer.

From the No Kings rally in Amsterdam, the Netherlands. My new friend.

No Kings Day in Boerne, Texas--at least 850 in this Hill Country town.

My daughter and her boyfriend have 4 cats. The issue seems to be the 2 orange cats,who are kept apart but will even taunt each other through closed doors.

First they slashed food aid, and now they are canceling the USDA’s decades-old food insecurity survey so no one can measure the harm. For 30 years, this data has guided policy and fed hungry families. Ending it while so many struggle is inexcusable and dangerous. www.wsj.com/economy/trum...

Done. Hulu, too.

smart play would’ve been
let Nexstar affiliates drop JKL
alienate their customers
then play hero
offer free streaming ABC access
to affected viewers
as a 1st Amendment gesture
while they negotiated
& let things cool off.

Instead
Disney looks like enemy of free speech
& nobody’s talking abt Nexstar.

The Third Reich didn't last 1,000 years.

Pinochet was ousted with a referendum.

And the US isn't exactly dealing with the smartest, most competent fascists.

Those of you insisting that 2025 is forever need to read a book, touch grass, go to therapy, anything other than trying to make others quit.

He can certainly preach. It's James Talarico, seminary student and representative in the Texas House.

it shouldn't be easier to get a gun in America than the covid vaccine

I am constantly baffled and horrified by the things this President does and says. Imagine... thinking that you don't want a museum to make slavery sound too bad.

Stand strong Smithsonian.
The truth will set us free.
We can't build a better future until we tell the truth about our past.

The numbers are in. The new maps republicans just passed in Texas reduce Hispanic Texans to one-third of a white person and Black Texans to one-fifth of a white person.

Some Texas Democratic women have torn up their permission slips and will now be hosting a “slumber party for Democracy” on the House floor.

Controversial opinion: When it comes to US presidents, "blatantly breaking laws and violently violating people's rights" is a bigger deal than "is old," meriting greater public concern and a higher percentage of attention.

Texans: It is extremely important that if you cannot attend tomorrow’s redistricting hearing in Austin, you submit public comment to oppose the new map. It’s important that we have the public opposition on the record for if and when this goes to court #txlege

This is inspiring. You can tell that many in the room support every word he said. I hope this makes it clear that many of us who are Texans hate what is happening in our country and state. We want justice, and we care about all of our neighbors.

Talarico speaking on Rogan: I'm a Christian, and I think there is no more dangerous form of government than theocracy—because the only thing worse than a tyrant is a tyrant who thinks they’re on a mission from God.

And Jesus decided not to heal the 10 men afflicted with leprosy, for he did not wish to show toxic empathy.

People like Mike Johnson give prayer a bad name.

Yes, but we'll continue to press the issue for each person who can be saved and with hope that the tipping point will one day come.

I do understand the challenges. A youth minister in my childhood church was one of the predators uncovered in the Houston Post/San Antonio Express investigation. There are people providing training for churches, but the availability of it isn't widely known.

This is all horrible and these predators need to rot in jail, but there are ways for children to be safe at churches and in camps as they are in public schools and elsewhere. There are best practices that can be followed if denominations, congregations, etc. will demand it. Training is available.
