When petty, petulant politicians are in charge, everyone suffers.

This is not just the least Christian administration in the history of the United States, this administration is actively anti-Christian.

Jesus weeps. And so do all of us who understand his teachings.

Trump is running an interesting experiment in how many self-identified Christian Americans have actual religious commitments and how many are just into it because it provides a means for the socially defensible expression of bigotry bsky.app/profile/bria...

This is a great profile by the Oregon State Bar of our esteemed colleague and friend, Prof. Bob Miller, who is as personable, funny, and kind as he is accomplished.

“For a long time, economic development in Indian Country has been like someone coming into your kitchen and deciding what’s for dinner. What’s different about this deal is… the community gets to decide what’s on the menu.... Like a Native potluck.”

This is what #FiscalPower looks like.

It says something really ugly and frightening about us as a country that we can have a president spouting deranged threats to commit unambiguous war crimes & it’s just another week; no immediate action to remove him from office.

Humans,

In these dark times as our so-called leaders fail us & sow hate, remember we’re better than that. And stronger. Everyone on this blue marble wants a brighter future for our kids. I offer love & respect. I work toward peace, prosperity & justice for all.

In liberty, your neighbor,
Wendy

I'm really curious about a provision in the proposed SAVE America Act. Many provisions of this bill would empower the Election Assistance Commission [EAC], an up-to-now obscure federal agency appointed by Trump, by authorizing it to issue guidance to states on how to enforce the Act. /1

Dan Drezner is infinitely better than I am at applying the teachings of JC.

It takes a deeply generous human to find and express sympathy for the TSA people who choose to spend their limited days on this earth standing in the way of commerce, love, and freedom.

It’s a little too little and a little too late, but Wendy’s still gonna celebrate. And maybe with a Native American in charge of DHS, ICE will stop stalking and detaining people whose ancestors have been here since time immemorial.

TFW when you miss your mentor and are also kind of glad he does not have to witness all of [gestures wildly in every direction].

Sending good vibes to my liberty-loving friends who will gather in DC tonight to honor another of our mentors. 🌈❤️🕊️

As a matter of fact you can! But that would require being the kind of American who loves her country so much she wants respect and protect its once-vaunted institutions.

Can you have absolute disdain for theocratic and communist authoritarians, hope to see them fall, and still want to uphold the rule of law and constitutional checks on executive power?

Good morning America
How are ya?
Say don’t you know me?
I’ve just bombed Iran
I’m the one who seeks my own dang Nobel Peace Prize
And I’ll have launched a new world war when the day is done

Amen. The mental bandwidth, the emotional toll, the time spent prepping for terrible potentialities that we would have thought unimaginable a few years ago…

Imagine if our elected and appointed officials and their rabid supporters were anchored by these two simple concepts right now. Oh, and the name Garrigue? That was his wife’s. She was from Brooklyn.

“Nebát se a nekrást.” (Don’t be scared and don’t steal.) TG Masaryk knew what was up. The first president of the Czechoslovak Republic, Tomáš Garrigue Masaryk was the kind of leader America needs right now.

One thing that’s concerning about this (beyond the obvious) is that anything you dump this many billions of dollars into necessarily creates a massive and well-funded political constituency for its own perpetuation.
