Same

Impossible to disagree with a single word that Ben Rhodes (Obama era NSC official) is saying here:

Facts spoken by an ex-trumper...

This is the President of the United States. On Easter Sunday.

To use some "presidential" language of my own: anybody who still supports this madman is f***ing brainwashed.

This is an actual post. This is not funny. This is beyond desperate. This is a deeply unwell man who doesn’t belong anywhere near the levers of power. Every member of his cabinet and Congress is complicit in not demanding his removal now.

From the beginning of your ministry, Jesus, women have followed you and cared for you. They are there even now, standing at the foot of the cross. Women are present wherever there is suffering or need: in hospitals and nursing homes; in communities dedicated to care and providing shelter; in foster homes for the most vulnerable children; opening schools and clinics in the most remote mission lands; and tending to the wounded and comforting survivors in war zones and areas of conflict. Women have taken you seriously, and even now they take to heart your demanding words. For centuries, they have wept for themselves and for their children, children taken away and imprisoned during protests, deported by policies devoid of compassion, shipwrecked on desperate journeys of hope, killed in war zones, and wiped out in death camps. Women continue to weep. Grant each of us, Lord, a compassionate heart — a maternal heart — and the grace to make the suffering of others our own. Give us tears once more, Lord, lest our conscience fade into the fog of indifference and we cease to be fully human. Let us pray, saying: Give us tears, Lord. To weep over the devastation of war: Give us tears, Lord. To weep for massacres and genocides: Give us tears, Lord. To weep with mothers and wives: Give us tears, Lord. To weep over the cynicism of the powerful: Give us tears, Lord. To weep over our own indifference: Give us tears, Lord.

As Trump's firing women from his cabinet and Hegseth's blocking women from promotions in the military, here's the meditation on Station VIII of the Via Crucis that Pope Leo took part in today.

The Generals are gone.
The AG is gone.
We started a war.
Gas is up.
Healthcare is up.
Prescriptions are up.
The rich are richer.
The poor are poorer.
Protesters have been killed.
Service members have been killed.
The law is a suggestion.
The constitution is a memory.

We. Are. Not. Okay.

Trump is blackmailing Congress with homeland security. TSA is on fire at Easter. His ransom: hand me voter suppression or the country burns. The bill can’t pass honestly. So he’s taking hostages. A sitting American president just extorted Congress in Jesus’s name.

the country is at war and the president is peacing out for another weekend at his private club in Florida that he'll spend with his paying customers

Ossoff: "The American people need to know that the president is fundraising for his political campaign and his PAC using images of American service members killed in action, and it's a disgrace"

1/2. He took the greatest military force in history, lost a war to a middle power in a week, begged the world to save him, & demanded the media lie about this & everything else. I try, but at a simple human level I do not see how anyone mistakes this man’s almost supernatural weakness for strength.

“This is one of the most grotesque crimes of our time.”

We are a nation of 349M, yet one man decided to launch our nation into a reckless, illegal war without congressional authorization or counsel or the support of the American people. He didn’t think he had any duty to sell it or serve the people’s interests. This is why despotic rule is so dangerous.

We are a hard NO!

WTAF?!

Trump says he bombed Iran because Jared Kushner told him Iran he had a hunch Iran would strike first.

Not intelligence agencies.

Not our allies.

His SON-IN-LAW's HUNCH is why our troops are dead, gas prices are soaring...and the Middle East is on FIRE! 🔥

It's INSANE.

“A country that can instantly fund endless wars but debates every dime for healthcare and education doesn't have a budget issue--it has a values issue."

A billion dollars a day going towards the war in Iran so far.

…

Classy. Committed. Confident.

That one person can drag us into a war without consulting or even notifying Congress, or our allies, or fully explaining to the American people why this is necessary, is absolutely bonkers.

Reminder that Congress has the power to stop this.

Tonight, I’ll be watching the People’s State of the Union with MoveOn and ⁦‪MeidasTouch‬⁩ — standing up for healthcare, affordability and decency.

How about you? ✋
#SOTU

BREAKING: Sen. Ruben Gallego will NOT attend the SOTU and will instead participate in the People’s State of the Union hosted by MeidasTouch and MoveOn.

I KNEW something had changed. These new ICE cadets are TAUGHT how to violate the Constitution. A huge (& important) part of the coursework was removed from from training. It’s on purpose.

Usually, ICE agents are taught the US Constitution, laws, about firearms, etc.

KNOW YOUR RIGHTS
#Pinks

Tomorrow, Trump is going to ramble & lie to the country. I'm not dignifying that, so I'm NOT attending SOTU.

But I'll be addressing WA state myself—TOMORROW at 3:15 pm PST.

Health care is way too expensive. ICE is out of control. We can chart a better way forward. Tune in.
