If you were interested in learning about Jesus and his teaching, well, I'm trying to think of a bigger disgusting turn-off than Trump or Hegseth. I think most sane people would say, "Well, it's not for me, then, if this is what it entails."

Be careful out there....they have zero hesitation about attacking journalists. Even the great ones.
President Trump speaks at a lectern with an American flag in the background. A headline reads: "Trump Repeatedly Threatens to Commit War Crimes in Iran." Photo by Tierney L. Cross/The New York Times.
President Trump has repeatedly threatened to destroy infrastructure that makes up the foundations of civilian life in Iran — attacks that in most cases would be considered war crimes. He said on Wednesday that the U.S. would bomb Iran “back to the Stone Ages.” www.nytimes.com/2026/04/05/u...
Here's a devastatingly powerful book. Highly recommended. @unicefusa.org @unicefmedia.bsky.social @unicefireland.bsky.social @unicef.org @nipnlg.bsky.social @sallyhayd.bsky.social
Happy War Crimes Day to all who celebrate.
Senator Chris Murphy, "The Strait of Hormuz was open before the war began"
"We are now seeking to solve a problem that we created"
"This is insanity"
Sally, you're a hero. Sorry it took me so long to read "My Fourth Time We Drowned." You have tremendous guts and courage. Good for you. @sallyhayd.bsky.social
The US is spending more than $1 trillion on the military for the first time in history.
That apparently isn't enough. Now, the Pentagon wants $200 billion more for an illegal war in Iran.
The answer is NO.
We need to invest in the American people, not endless war.
My resolution to overturn the Supreme Court’s disastrous Citizens United decision — H.J.Res 122 — has now been co-sponsored by 72 Members of Congress. You can view the full list at: www.congress.gov/bill/119th-c....
I’ll keep fighting to get it across the finish line!
Breaking News: The Pentagon’s restrictions on news outlets violated the First Amendment, a federal judge ruled, in a victory for The New York Times.
Timely post, thanks.
@olbermann.bsky.social Well, he's a lot harder on Trump than he is on Israel. So there's that. What bugs me lately is that his "progressive" guests are pretty lame. Let's get Cornel West or M Eric Dyson etc. And he disdains college education as "not worth it"--the problem is the cost, Bill.

Mexico's President Sheinbaum opposes US and Israel illegal war; "The UN has stopped fulfilling its role ... Countries with greater military power prevail, that cannot be." "It's not about who opposes or supports a regime; it's about civilians who pay for it, the bombing of a school full of girls."

Spain to Trump: "Spain opposes this catastrophe … governments are there to improve people's lives … not to worsen them .. it is absolutely unacceptable that leaders who are incapable of fulfilling this task use the smokescreen of war to mask their incompetence $ line the pockets of a select few."

I wrote last week after the fans of the T-Wolves and then Doc Rivers spoke out that hopefully this could be the start of a wave. It's horrific that it took the murder of Alex Pretti to make that wave, but a wave is here. Shout out to Victor Wembanyama for being part of it over the advice of Spurs PR
