A screenshot of a poem. The poem reads: Choose your leaders with wisdom and forethought. To be led by a coward is to be controlled by all that the coward fears. To be led by a fool is to be led by the opportunists who control the fool. To be led by a thief is to offer up your most precious treasures to be stolen. To be led by a liar is to ask to be told lies. To be led by a tyrant is to sell yourself and those you love into slavery.

From “Parable of the Talents” by Octavia Butler

Some sound advice:

🚨🚨Millions of Americans rely on Medicaid for their health care, but MAGA Republicans, Trump and Elon Musk want to cut funding to give billionaires and the ultra-wealthy a $4.6 trillion tax break. We need to be as loud📢 as possible when we tell them #HandsOffOurMedicaid

As a disabled American, I know that these cuts can hit anyone.

BREAKING: Representatives of Elon Musk’s “DOGE” have gotten into the Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services, where they have accessed key payment and contracting systems.

HANDS OFF OUR HEALTHCARE MUSK! THIS IS A SOUND THE ALARMS MOMENT

A random billionaire and a few teens he hired have gotten into our money at the Treasury, and are now getting their hands into our Medicare and Medicaid system.

Army withholds name of Black Hawk helicopter crew in D.C. crash, 2 others identified A U.S. military official told NPR on Friday that at the request of the family the Army is not going to release the name of the female crew member. The withholding of the name is a highly unusual move.

She lost her life serving our country and because of the smears by the President her family doesn’t want us to know her name. It’s two weeks and this Administration is the most shameful imaginable. — Army withholds name of Black Hawk helicopter crew in D.C. crash

Screenshot of a news article with the headline 'Trump: You Want Me to Go Swimming?' by Tarini Parti. Below the headline is an image of two rescue workers on jet skis in a body of water, identified as search and rescue efforts around a wreckage site in the Potomac River. The article excerpt states that when asked if he planned to visit the crash site, President Trump responded, 'What’s the site? The water? You want me to go swimming?'

He is a callous, soulless man.

This is written by the bishop who stood up to Orange Voldemort. Everyone should be buying this. It's available on Amazon for $14. I'm an atheist and I'm buying it. #booksky

Trump just pardoned every January 6th criminal. Even the violent ones.

I'm sick to my stomach.
