Remember! Call out hate when you hear it, when you see it and when you read it. Don’t shrug off your responsibility. #neverforget #HolocaustMemorialDay

How do we actually know he met with the Secretary General? Grandpa Trump could have met with the guy who delivers the sandwiches to the offices on the 2nd floor.

“I wanna buy Iceland”
“Sure grandpa, anything you want…here’s a sandwich”

Kristi Noem looked Jake Tapper in the eye and lied about a fatal ICE shooting then had the nerve to say ICE is about “keeping people safe.” Video and local officials contradict her story. When the truth is this dangerous, the lie is the policy.

Dear Christians:
Saying Jesus’ name doesn’t make cruelty holy. C.S.Lewis called it clearly: evil done in God’s name is still evil.

Stephen Miller on CNN declares America has the right to seize Greenland, argues that “we’re a superpower.” This is thuggery dressed up as statecraft. America: don’t betray NATO allies! Don’t trample sovereignty. Empires built on brute force crumble. Democracies endure through law!

When Trump articulates regional ambitions, however crudely expressed in the National Security Strategy document and however thinly defended by a so-called Trump Corollary, it is intent. Venezuela’s fate should disabuse Canadians of the comforting notion that geography or friendship confers immunity.
