Starting to think that if the founding fathers were any good at founding fathering, they would have given the power to declare war to Congress rather than one man in the White House.
Shame on US:
“Even if you’re a citizen, just because I’m Hispanic, they’re still going to want to take me.” - Fanny, who was afraid to leave her home to bring pads to a 12 year old girl experiencing her first period. #npr
In partnership with the City of Los Angeles, the Dodgers have committed $1 million toward direct financial assistance for families of immigrants impacted by recent events in the region. Additional community efforts to be announced in the coming days.
@Budget , come on. Arrive at Des Moines with a reservation to transport 7 people in a van. Your response: sorry. No vehicles. We can give you a car for five. Disappointed.
I wish Biden would reflect on this debate performance and then announce his decision to withdraw from the race, throwing the choice of Democratic nominee to the convention. Someone like @gretchenwhitmer or @SherrodBrown or @SecRaimondo could still jump in and beat Trump.
EVERYONE should be happy in aftermath of #UMCGC. #BeUMC-ers are taking well-earned victory lap that they got everything they wanted and more. Those of us who left are celebrating that as bad as we thought it could be, it turned out much worse.

1992. I, a cis white man, wrote a letter of protest to the SC UMC Advocate regarding LGBTQ+ inclusion. I wasn’t. always perfect in advocacy. And my departure from SCUMC was colored by my own failings. Even so, today I rejoice. The @UMCGC has shown the wideness of God’s mercy!
We who were nurtured in United Methodism’s theology of God’s generous grace can now bring our full selves as we respond to the Holy Spirit’s call into ordained ministry. May we be judged on the fruits of our ministry, not on our sexual orientation or gender identity. #UMCGC
A beautiful African American youth knocked on a door in Kansas City, Mo. last week, thinking he was at a home to pick up his siblings. He was shot. Twice. Because he was Black.
There is a movement to prohibit saying our racist past impacts our present.
Ignorance is not bliss.
