“Give your kids an extra hug and kiss today.” Jesse Merkel spoke at a news conference outside Annunciation Catholic Church in Minneapolis, where his 8-year-old son, Fletcher, was one of two children fatally shot at a back-to-school Mass on Wednesday. Read more: nyti.ms/45HBSKN
I salute the courageous rabbis, who are speaking out in opposition to the increasingly outrageous conduct of the Israeli government as it continues to promote endless war in Gaza. Those who continue to claim Netanyahu can do no wrong are complicit.

Solution:men be born as females the next go around, where they can then wake up every morning as females, go to bed every night as females, and do this 365 days a year, year after year, for their whole life.Then get their bleached blond bad built butch bodies. Sound familiar? A learning experience!
No, not the Subway sandwich! Next time, take them 3 dozen donuts, and give them an hour to eat them all, and when the sugar high disappears.... or to be on the safe side, roll up a ball of air, and throw that.
Oh, your point is-Americans' votes count ONLY in America. And in America, ONLY Americans' votes count. If I'm understanding, then yes. Non-citizens don't vote in the USA regardless of what kooks online spout. The US is our responsibility. We hire. We fire. And we expect our hirees to work for us.
I'm not yet understanding what you mean by "for it to count". For it to count as what and for it to count how? you have to be American for your vote to count??
There are many steps taken by other nations' governments that have worked to oppose Trump and some even that help citizens of the US. Is this what you're referring to.
Here's a few questions, can he use these troops to block any newly elected congressperson from taking their place in Congress - for the midterms? Can he use the troops to block people from voting? Do the troops have arresting ability?

I guess her precognition and psychic ability wasn't working real well on that day.
I disagree that the logic and evidence is overwhelming. There's no getting around opinion and beliefs. Example, we used to logically think illness was caused by demons. Now we know logically that illness is caused by a toad or small dwarf living in the stomach. :-)
You didn't add it, but I'm assuming that you're simply stating your opinions and your beliefs... which is exactly the same as everyone else on the planet.
IMO hatred/fear are the source, not any philosophy, religion, social structure. These are like frames to the subject in the frame.It's the human heart/mind that will use whatever he/she can,to get what they want. If religion didn't exist, they'd find somethin else to use to justify abuse/hatred. IMO
.... you'll find them wearing masks and driving unmarked vehicles.
I'm not the first person to say, "When you dance with the devil, you're going to get burned."
I would disagree with your belief that the 1st sin is "gaining knowledge."
Trump: We're going to be adding a magnificent ballroom—most beautiful ballroom, I think, anywhere. We need it. Meiselas: We need it? No, we literally don’t. We need health care. We need affordable housing. We need an end to wars. We need peace in Gaza. We don’t need a ballroom.
There is no such thing as "a last word." There are only different beliefs and different opinions.
When the House becomes blue in 2026, besides Clarence Thomas, we need to consider impeaching John Roberts, who has done little, if anything, to prevent this attack on the Constitution and our Democracy.Even if they can't be removed, they will know that history will remember that they were impeached.
Perhaps Puerto Rico also.
The simple fact is this: Trump & the Republicans in Congress have chosen harm to people, and even chosen death to people. They are firing real bullets at humanity. The more that is done to oppose and stop their actions, the more lives will be saved. This is fact! This is a simple choice to make.

Stop what you're doing and listen to this warning from @marcelias.bsky.social about the real reason for Trump's National Guard deployment in DC.
White men. They always meant white men.
He’s going to take over DC to avoid talking about Epstein.
Her Führer told her that is what he wants.
Some of us do give a sh!t.
One thing to remember is that resistance will save lives. This is fact. Not resisting allows Trump and GOP to take away food and health care which leads to more deaths. Resistance = saving lives.

The Republicans have chosen harm to people, and even chosen death to people. Every word of this statement is fact. The more that is done to oppose and stop their actions, the more lives will be saved. This also is fact. This is a simple choice to make.
This is exactly what the Nazi's did in their last year - draft teenagers and seniors.
Thank you, and may God bless your/our efforts through to successful completion.
At this point, they should be getting ready to change their titles.
We're not a 3rd rate country, but we have a 3rd rate President and administration.... if even that high.
I disagree. I think he is getting advice that the GOP can lose in general and he wants to hedge his bets. He's not worried about Texas staying red. He's worried about the other red states' numbers. He definitely is not thinking about 17M Americans losing healthcare. That's gone 4ever from his mind.
Is one side for Clowns and one side for Jokers?
You mean 1000 years ago when he was alive?
I see why he bankrupted casinos.
A leopard cannot change his spots. Trump cannot change that he's a convicted rapist, and sexual predator. And MAGA can't help that they support a convicted rapist and a sexual predator. MAGA's daughters are waiting for him. No one will stop him. They'd volunteer their own children.
And now, the whole nation knows what is happening in Texas. The whole world (almost) knows what is happening in Texas. There is no Texan that can not have this in their face seeing what some people are willing to do to help Texans, if possible, and some Repubs. are willing to do to harm Texans.
Ouch. The first word I saw was "Lice".

Meanwhile, millions of people sit in the stands and just watch, while the delegates put their lives on the line, trying to save other people's lives.
Well, he sorta looks like a Nazi would look like. He's got that "I want to watch people be killed" look to him.
And what city did you say you live in?
Before Christopher Hitchens, there was Ernestine Rose – a fearless 19th century humanist who challenged religious dogma when doing so could cost you everything. A true rebel. She died #OnThisDay 1892. Ernestine Rose #HumanistHeritage appreciation 🧵
BREAKING: A group of Texas House Democrats flee the state to block a hastily-drawn Republican congressional map that could add 5 more GOP seats ahead of the 2026 midterms. One of the Democrats called the move one of “absolute moral clarity.” From: @jenrice.bsky.social
No surprise there. He has no winning argument against facts.
Astute observation.
MJT: "And I helped!"
And they never will reach herd immunity.
Texans didn't ask for new congressional maps, Trump did. I spoke to @fox7austin.bsky.social earlier this week about how extreme gerrymandering hurts every community, and why Texas Republicans have decided to choose the president's interest over the families they represent.
May God bless him with a happy, long and healthy life with you.
At some point in time, these people need to be charged with crimes and held criminally responsible for the deaths and injuries their actions will cause and are causing. When the time arrives.
Lie, Cheat, Steal, repeat.
I know we say “Everything is bigger in Texas,” but this is, in fact, bigger than Texas. This is nothing but a power grab, and it will ultimately impact all of us.
More of this, please.
Governor @jbpritzker.bsky.social stands with Texas Democrats: When you show people that you have the will to fight, they can muster the will to fight, too. Courage is contagious.

If the bar wasn't so low for Trump and Republican's character, morals and integrity, there would be no Republican's who would ever be elected.
Trump is levying more taxes on US consumers than any president in US history. And he has built a massive propaganda machine to explain to people that he's not dong what he's actually doing. www.ft.com/content/50f8...
Epstein…keep the fire lit. Epstein’ is the language of America’s unheard. The elites still don’t listen. www.inquirer.com/opinion/comm... @willbunch.bsky.social
We're all feeling the same as you. Unfortunately, there is no easy way and no superhero. He's a forest fire. We make progress 1 inch at a time, & 1 foot at a time, walking into the fire & working to face every inch of the fire. There is already progress and there are casualties, but we don't quit.
Try to sneak in -arrest Donald Trump. Maybe he won't notice.
“I don't debate people to change the other person's mind. I debate people to change the watching audience’s mind.” @mehdirhasan.bsky.social answers an audience question on whether debating extremists is worth it. Watch the full Q&A town hall here: zeteo.com/p/fascists-d...
The National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration and the National Weather Service have been greatly weakened by Trump/Musk cuts designed to build a body count of the fired rather than to ensure genuine efficiency and public safety.
Hunger and disease continue to stalk Palestinians in Gaza, and aid organizations are warning that children are at greatest risk of starvation. A U.N. worker has described people as "walking corpses."
Best community note contender.
For most pet primates in the United States, life is marked by chronic stress, malnutrition and illness — if they survive at all. A bill in Congress would aim to make ownership of captive primates illegal in all 50 states.
Just this month, Trump and Republicans have: ❌ Ripped health care away from millions of Americans ❌ Abandoned countless Americans who needed help during the Texas floods ❌ Shut down Congress to avoid the Epstein files from being released ❌ Cut federal funding from NPR and PBS
$4 trillion.
Well ain’t that the depressing truth.
He's hired to & therefore, gets paid $25 million/year from Fox & more from other sources - to say what he does. I would venture that almost anyone on Earth, if you paid them Hannity's 25M+, they'd say anything they're hired to say, also. Millions and millions of dollars to keep saying what he says.
Trump claims no one has died from U.S. aid cuts. As usual, he lies. In Sudan, children died begging for food when U.S.-supported soup kitchens closed. Dozens died in a single day without U.S.-provided cholera vaccines. washingtonpost.com/world/2025/06/…
Your comments are generic, with no soul, no heart, and no details.
Your comments are such a cliche. Try harder to have something original, you're speaking as if you were an AI bot.
Trump (to Greg Abbott): Gerrymander them into submission. Gerrymander the next Civil War into existence in Texas. FIRE all weapons!!!
I grew up in Texas through the 60's, 70's. My experience:I saw these Fascist/racist attitudes already in existence but quiet because of Civil Rights. But Trump welcomed them, invited them to come out of the woodwork, & said he was their friend. So now they're out of the closet. No surprise to me.
UnitedHealth Group is seeking monopoly control over health care through systematically purchasing a wide range of health companies, providers, pharmacies, and more. Now, more than 2,700 entities, according to the Center for Health and Democracy. (1/4)
I would think they'd just write, "Trump said to do it this way, so this is how we're doing it." Kind of like when Adolph Hitler was in charge of Germany and they just said, "Adolph Hitler said to do it this way, so this is how we're doing it."
Back on Bluesky (to stay), wanted to share what I’m up to. Held a town hall in Charlotte (see below) earlier in the week. There’s power in people coming together and listening to one another. If you get a chance to watch some of it, let me know what you think. www.youtube.com/live/cRettGN...
WGA statement on Paramount’s decision to cancel the Late Show with Stephen Colbert.
I cannot emphasize enough how true & real this is. In almost anywhere on the political spectrum you ID with or major issue, there’s probably a bot/troll operation to encourage your rage and vitriol. And how/where that rage gets directed, esp understandable rage, is what they are out to influence.
Their policies are already so unpopular, it’s no wonder congressional Republicans delayed the most harmful impacts until after the next election.
UNC students can no longer use their digital IDs to vote. North Carolina's GOP-led election board quietly settled with the RNC, ending the policy after Republicans sued to ban student mobile IDs at the polls. This is another “win” in the long game to suppress the student vote.
Regardless of her age, her voice is still strong and her spirit brave.
Our prayers for the suffering are real and are helpful. Please, keep praying.
You misspelled the last word there. The accurate spelling is "Mothers and children."
There are a few stories getting out. Their living situations are just as bad.
