“.. it’s one thing for Trump to have a personal fascination with one of the world’s most expensive metals. It’s another for the president to flaunt it at a time when many Americans are struggling to pay rent ..” @theatlantic.com www.theatlantic.com/politics/202...
Last night was a lot of fun! 🫶 Got to be creative with some friends and a few hundred other folks at Brick House Resellers Brickblast! Our table won “Best Community Build” for which included my ‘mini community free library’ build. It was also fun to meet season 5 LEGO Masters the Grayson brothers. 🧱
Just a friendly reminder to surround yourself with the kind of people who support their local library, theatre, bakery, bookstore, and café.
"A concentration camp, in its most basic definition, is a place where a targeted civilian population, not necessarily accused of a crime, is detained and at least some of their basic rights are suspended," writes @jwashing.bsky.social. "That’s precisely what’s happening in the United States today."
Don’t call them ICE detention centers. Call them camps | John Washington

Deliver us from the presumption of coming to this Table for solace only, and not for strength; for pardon only, and not for renewal
That’s all folks… 🏆⚽️ Yesterday was the “Thank You” event for the ~5000 NY/NJ World Cup Volunteers! ❤️💙💚 Other than they tried to make us watch baseball and I got a little too much sun… it was a really fun day! So glad I got to spend time with lots of friends on the Host City Ambassador team again! 🫶
Mitch McConnell hasn’t been seen or heard from in 6 weeks(!) in the hospital. Yet he still has a job, still getting paid, and getting unlimited world class healthcare. The man who voted against a living wage, against universal healthcare, and against guaranteed paid leave—is now getting all three.
Today is the Feast of John Cassian which is also the anniversary of my ordination to the priesthood. I continue to consider what a blessing it is to live out this vocation among and with all of you, who are yourselves beautiful reflections of our Creator’s love.
“Mary Magdalene—a wise woman & one who refused to run from death, hurt, & humiliation. Today we celebrate the life of the Apostle to the Apostles, this beautiful and strong friend of Jesus, who ran toward Peter & Jesus’ brothers, and toward all of us, with the most wonderful news we’ve ever heard.”🥚
Remember that you are dust, and to dust you shall return.

The president continues to believe he lost 2020 because of rampant corruption/fraud which occurred during the only presidential election his administration presided over; the proof is that he won 2 elections presided over by democratic administrations because there was not rampant corruption/fraud??
Reminder that Trump is a rapist. Don't let MAGA tell you otherwise.
ICE agents shouldn’t be executing people on the street even if they ARE the target of the warrant
One day, our grandchildren will read about this with the same horror we read about 1930s Germany.
Mamdani got into office and instantly: • Froze rent for 2 million New Yorkers • Cut subway fares in half for low-income riders • Fully funded NYC parks • Added $680M for public schools • Launched free child care for 2-year-olds If establishment politicians actually wanted to help you, they could.
I wanted to make sure I’d have a chance to see the HUGE new #LEGO #WorldCup statue at Rockefeller Center, so I braved the pouring rain to see it… amazing! 😍🏆⚽️❤️ (I badly need a haircut 💇♂️) #EveryoneWantsAPiece
PASTOR LORAN LIVINGSTON (@CentralChurchNC): “There has never been a Christian nation, and never will be. You don’t live in one now. A Christian nation wouldn’t have killed and displaced 20 million Native Americans, or thought owning slaves was pleasing to God.”
Happy Independence Day… just wanted to make sure everyone gets to see my seasonally appropriate World Cup attire for the day. ❤️🤍💙 “Give me your tired, your poor, your huddled masses and we will make a great team. Happy 250th Birthday, America!”🗽🇺🇸⚽️
A $3 @mta.info subway fare and some good Q train timing can buy you one hell of a view of the July 4th fireworks and the Brooklyn Bridge light show! Huge shoutout to the train operator for slow rolling over the Manhattan Bridge and the conductor for announcing it.
Ten years ago today, J. D. Vance called Trump “cultural heroin” in The Atlantic: “To every complex problem, he promises a simple solution … He never offers details for how these plans will work, because he can’t," Vance wrote of Trump. Read the piece: theatln.tc/foJ8lGw3
