Amazing conversation around how to (and if you can) change people's minds, why we should fight for our relationships even if it's tough, how to process and learn from criticism and, of course, how to (politely) tell the Vice President that Iran got everything they wanted in that MOU :)

A Christian nation wouldn’t have killed and displaced 20 million Native Americans, or thought owning slaves was pleasing to God.”
The same Republicans who were hysterical when asked to wear masks to prevent the spread of COVID19 have no problem wearing masks to spread their White Nationalist Christian hatred.
“How small they are. How weak. How unoriginal… division is the oldest trick in politics.” Zohran rings in America’s birthday by reminding us our story is one of welcoming immigrants, not excluding everyone who doesn’t look like us. 🇺🇸 Full: www.instagram.com/reel/DaVzyL0...

If this country was truly “pro-life,” we would have Medicare for All, a Green New Deal, gun reform, universal child care, and a living wage. The right-wing agenda isn’t about “life.” It’s about control.
Trump’s evidence to prove that someone sabotaged the Reflecting Pool is in the same file as the evidence that the 2020 election was stolen.
Trying to get your brain around the fact Musk‘s now a trillionaire? That many $1 bills wd stack 67,866 miles high. If you‘d begun work at federal minimum wage of $7.25/hour right after the asteroid killed the dinosaurs 66 million years ago, today you’d still need a million more years to match Elon.

Tennessee Brando on Trump voters waking up: "I'm glad they're speaking out, but I can't give them a full pass. If you got duped the first go around in 2016, that's one thing ... but if you lived through Jan 6th and you still hung with him ... then, I mean, you're the reason we're here."
Staffing “was always bad. And now it’s at a breaking point,” a VA psychologist said. They described being stretched so thin that one-on-one appointments were cut down to 16 minutes or replaced with group sessions with as many as 35 veterans.

Pope Leo XIV carried the cross across all fourteen stations for over an hour. The prayers named children who had been “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.”
Is it a good sign or a bad sign for a president when a popular sports figure is denouncing your immigration policies on a widely watched March Madness broadcast?

Walz: The president said it's a bunch of radicals. You're damn right we've been radicalized. Radicalized by compassion, radicalized by decency, radicalized by due process, radicalized by democracy.
