And Jesus will say, “When I was hungry, you did not feed me.”

I think my friends who are POC will understand this. Two things are true at the same time. Nothing is more American than protest. Nothing is more American than the white supremacy and misogyny people are gathering today to protest. Both are true.

literally a cartoon image of a “criminal”

Why on earth would anyone glorify a document which gave us minority rule and said people of African heritage are only 3/5 human?

"Americans have long glorified their constitution and the rule of law. But Donald Trump’s volatile and vindictive presidency has increasingly replaced that philosophy with something very different – call it “governing by shakedown”. - @greenhousenyt.bsky.social

Trump wants to get rid of mail-in voting. I think we would be better served to go to nationwide vote-by-mail ONLY.

this has almost certainly literally happened

There would be an immediate cease fire if Russia immediately ceases firing.

90 years ago, Social Security became a reality. With it, a promise. That every American could retire with dignity. That no senior should be forced to live in abject poverty. So when Republicans talk of privatizing it, or stripping it away, let me be clear: that’s a betrayal we won't allow.

90 years ago today, Social Security was signed into law, creating a safety net for elderly Americans - It promised economic security as they grow older. I’m determined to protect that promise against the threats from Donald Trump’s administration. We owe it to our country.

If something is important enough to be the law then two things should be done: 1. Don't put an expiration date on it. 2. Make the laws the same in all 50 states.

NEW: The Voting Rights Act has long been an achievement celebrated by both Democrats and Republicans. But recently, something dark has shifted in American politics, and the conservative Supreme Court may well use this moment to kill Section 2 of the VRA, @marcelias.bsky.social writes.

No, you did not give those of us who happened to look like the people who bombed Pearl Harbor any due process. And that was profoundly wrong. It destroyed our lives.

Any Christian who supports the death penalty is saying to the accused: Jesus died for MY sins, but YOU have to die for your own.

In the words of Saint Pope John Paul II, “The dignity of human life must never be taken away, even in the case of someone who has done great evil.” 

I think we should want everyone to have what they need. And I think we should want government to play a big role in making that happen.

I wish to God the Roman Catholic Church would open its entire sacramental life, including the eucharist, marriage, and ordination, to everyone regardless of sexual orientation, sexual identity, or gender.

I remember when this happened.

Last year, the average S&P 500 CEO made $18.9 MILLION, while the average worker made $49,500. So much for “trickle down economics.” Tax the rich.

60,000 Gazans have been killed. 18,500 were children. These are their names.

Palestinian children have been killed at a rate of more than one per hour since the war began.

I believe followers of Jesus never, ever arm themselves. Tertullian was right: When Jesus disarmed Peter, he disarmed every Christian. Following Jesus means you would die before you would kill.

This will likely eventually expand to include anyone who disagrees with the regime, as Vance and other prominent conservatives have endorsed a propaganda book that dehumanizes dissenters. This process of dehumanization is essential to enacting their Nazi-like agenda and placing more people in camps.

It’s been 16 years since Congress raised the minimum wage. Meanwhile, folks are out here trying to survive on $7.25 an hour. In this economy?! I’m standing with my Labor Caucus colleagues to #RaiseTheWage, because $7.25 ain’t cutting it.

I am a Catholic theologian. And I think the seal of the confessional should not be used to cover up crimes. I have no problem with a priest giving absolution, but I think they should have to report this stuff.

Every time a Republican is accused of breaking the law, they appoint a Republican special counsel because of the fear a Democrat would have an axe to grind, but then if a Democrat is accused, they appoint a Republican to avoid the appearance of going to easy on the person being investigated.

It is worth noting that Special Counsel Robert Mueller, who led the investigation, was a registered Republican. Deputy Attorney General Rod Rosenstein, who appointed Mueller to the position, was also a registered Republican

I think we should ban voter ID. Take people's word for it that they are who they say they are. It worked for, like, 200 years!

The RNC backed Indiana's ban on student IDs for voting, calling the law constitutional and neutral. This comes as voting rights advocates highlight a national trend of GOP-led states targeting student access to the ballot. www.democracydocket.com/news-alerts/...

I believe the key to Democratic wins in the future is going to be to go unapologetically to the left. Tepid, milquetoast centrism is one of the biggest enablers of the right.

Centrist Democrats Are the Actual Traitors to Their Party

While progressives often get accused of undermining the Democratic Party, the evidence shows that it’s the moderate wing that most often violates the “Vote Blue No Matter Who” principle.

Not really an overstatement to say that the test of a free society is whether or not comedians can make fun of the country's leader on TV without repurcussions.
