is it safe ... is it safe

This is how a rapist talks. He’s gonna put troops in the streets. Whether those cities want them or not. And he’s telegraphing his punches again. He keeps saying NYC and Chicago. Believe him. It’s always been the plan.🚨🇺🇸

Melania about the Donald’s traits ... He likes to be the right things done Melania about having her own opinion: I’m my own brains … About the Donald: He’s with his own brains

@BasedMikeLee Disgusting to protest Redress our grievances

Who else is disgusted by this list?

@BasedMikeLee Buses transporting people to the January 6 riot were funded by a mix of conservative groups, political campaigns, and donors, including Turning Point Action State Senator Doug Mastriano Women for America First: "March to Save America" Tea Party Express and Rule of Law Trust.

@LoeilMedias1 I am so embarrassed for these people. Mass hysteria is real. This is your evidence.

Paula White, nommée par Trump présidente du Bureau de la Foi à la Maison-Blanche, conduit une session d'exorcisme pour chasser les esprits malins de l'assistance en soufflant dans le micro.

They never heard of "the separation of church and state". I am a Christian. I love to pray. But this country is made up of Muslims, Hindus, Jews, and atheists. They need to be represented, too.

As if telling everyone she prays Will make her credible

You don’t get both: * A tax-exempt pulpit * A political megaphone Pick one. Because the moment religion starts directing votes, it stops being just religion. And taxpayers shouldn’t be subsidizing political influence.

As if telling everyone she prays Will make her credible The 9th You shall not bear false witness

Where did the money for the wall go?

Can’t they just vote on the Senate bill?

Um, he's not a Christian! Deaf Ears!

what was musk and doge doing?

ICE is funded. The Big Beautiful Bill did that. The Democrats are asking for guardrails for their violent, unchecked behavior. TSA could have been funded with ANY of the 9 standalone bills the Democrats put forward OR the 100-0 unanimous Senate vote. This is on Trump.

@RCdeWinter No particular place to go / So we parked way out on the Kokomo / The night was young and the moon was gold / So we both decided to take a stroll … C berry

#AfternoonPoetry Perfect Recall Out walking I went
that late morning, the lure of spring sun irresistible,
the voice of the mountains
leafed in new green notes
calling to me.

I had no particular destination,
wanting only to shake off
the shackles of a hard winter,
and striking off the paved road
into town walked down
an old dirt road that leads
to the foothills.

Loving spring's scent
and the birdsong I sang too,
that old tune about
wild mountain thyme.
Not a half mile in
I heard the rumble of a bike
and turned to watch it come,
spitting roaddust and
winter's leftovers in its wake.

I didn't know the rider,
but he stopped a bit ahead
of me and waited.
Perhaps I should've been afraid
but wasn't - I've lived here all my life
and things are peaceful.

He smiled and said hello.
I smiled and answered same
and saw he wasn't really waiting,
for he took a toolbag out
from somewhere and adjusted
something needing some adjusting.
Then the motor roared and he was off,
waving as the woods swallowed him up.

I walked my walk,
and the way the mountains looked
that day made me want to cry,
they were so beautiful.
It's graven in memory, along with
the stranger on the bike.

I never saw that man again,
but haven't forgotten how the light -
sunglow filtered through forest -
shot diamonds from his eyes of
steel blue.
I remember – still – his hands,
how capable and sure as he
put the bike to rights.

Sometimes I wish I'd ridden off
with him,
but then I wouldn't have
these memories.
This way it's perfect –
and how many things
in this flawed and forlorn world ever are?
