Resharing this since I got a bunch of new followers: Tami is literally the definition of a helper—she works so hard, donates so much of her time to caring for others, and is still going despite this most-recent loss. If you cannot donate, please share and send prayers and/ or vibes to her and Paul!

Aaaaand didn’t post the pic… Haha ah tech! Here it is a day late and a dollar short:
Never-Trump Catholic here from a family of them. We understand what it means to actually be pro-life (not pro-birth), what a just war is, and how loving ones neighbor as oneself meant that following the 🍊 isn’t following our faith.
In case you missed any of my columns in Civil Discourse last week, here they are, all collected in one place.

Meet Calvin Duncan. In Louisiana, they are trying to strip him of the post he was legally elected to in Orleans Parish. This man was jailed for a crime, exonerated, ran for office, and won. Now, the state is attempting to take that office away from him.
WOW: A stunning new report in the WSJ reveals that military advisers intentionally excluded Donald Trump from the command room during the recent high-stakes operation to extract a downed U.S. airman in Iran, because they feared his erratic behavior could jeopardize the mission. 1/
This is my sign at protests. MAGA People are always made until they read “the Declaration of Independence” then they look embarrassed. It’s happened the last 3 no kings and I’m here for it!
The image shows a medium black and white dog smiling at the camera somewhere with grass, water, and random boulders.
Took the doggo for a walk & this older gentleman got all excited, “That’s a true Heinz 57 right there! Do you know what breeds she is?” It made me smile & think of my grandparents who said things like that. Also, no, don’t know what her breeds are but I’m certain there are many. #dogsofbluesky #mutt

Dude is coconuts!
Voting on spy powers at 2am will definitely help with trust in the government!
So there's a really important debate on civil liberties and national security going on on the House floor right now. It is shameful that it's taking place at this late hour of the night / morning. But I'm going to at least do something productive & try to explain here:
Ohioan here. Our once great state elected JD Vance, chose Bernie Moreno over Sherrod Brown, and then there’s Gym Jordan. I hope more than anything voters here wake tf up and vote BLUE. Amy Acton and David Pepper are great!
Dr Amy Acton/ David Pepper are an incredibly interesting ticket in the Ohio gubernatorial race.

This kind of behavior raises serious questions about my opponent’s priorities, and about his commitment to protecting Ohioans.
Our governor has a responsibility to keep Ohioans safe — and as a victim of abuse, I take these allegations incredibly seriously. It’s a shame Vivek Ramaswamy doesn’t.
The largest restored wetlands in Massachusetts now cover hundreds of acres of what used to be cranberry farms.
A maternity ward doctor donated his own blood during surgery to keep a pregnant patient alive.
One woman gained fewer than 10 pounds over her entire pregnancy.

Leo: "The message of the church, the message of the gospel -- blessed are the peacemakers. I do not look at my role as being political. I don't want to get into a debate with him. I don't think the message of the gospel is meant to be abused in the way that some people are doing."
"...callers are asking how to apply to become a conscientious objector — a difficult, invasive and rarely used process.
It has been a mess, and many individuals feel frustration throughout the ranks...all the callers he talks to mention the bombing of a girls school in Iran..."
A former neighbor—who devotes so much of her time to rescuing and caring for animals in need—has suffered a devasting loss. If you can, please help her family! www.gofundme.com/f/support-ta... #gofundme #loss #animalrescue
BREAKING: Hungarian Prime Minister Viktor Orbán concedes defeat to Peter Magyar after "painful" election result, ending 16 years in power.
Hungary’s voters spoke out forcefully against far-right bullshit and isolationist policies.
Good.
If you live in a red state, it is very likely that your state handed over their unredacted voter files & the GOP in your state will try to disqualify you if you vote for Democrats. Stay informed & inform others.

Imagine trusting science to bring astronauts to the moon and back but not trusting science to develop safe vaccines.
Humanity did that. Science did that. Publicly-funded research did that. Excellent universities did that. Diversity did that. International cooperation did that.
Artemis II is a perfect example of what we can do at our best.
Welcome home, Integrity crew!
