So the Republican Party has historically blocked:
-Paid sick leave
-Paid family & medical leave
-Universal childcare
-Universal pre-K
-Expanded Child Tax Credit
-Programs to support reproductive health
And they're wondering why more people aren't having children?
I’m going to say something that shouldn’t be controversial but will be. If you are a Christian, you can support border control and immigration being legal vs illegal. You CANNOT celebrate deportations and get off on the cruelty, and be a real Christ follower. Period
Of course advance information on US combat operations is classified. Pretending otherwise is an insult to our troops, who all know this.
The Secretary is unfit to lead.

Serious question. Kristi Noem was pictured with a Rolex in El Salvador, and got 3k in cash stolen.
She has been on a govt salary for years.
Something aint right
Pope Francis lifted the world as he led the Church with his profound moral voice. As he returns to God, may his call to humility and concern for the least among us continue to resound.

Hey MAGA Christians, school shootings have nothing to do with a lack of prayer in public schools.
I’ve studied the Bible extensively and served as a pastor for nearly three decades.
Trust me: there is no prayer that will suddenly make children bulletproof.
Cut the BS—it’s the guns.

It isn't that America lacks courage. It's that we’ve become so cut off from one another that many of us feel alone, which makes us feel afraid.
But when we are surrounded by courageous people, all of us become more courageous.
Courage is contagious.
WOW. That was amazing. I didn't even know this existed. Random thoughts
--some of those soldiers were so YOUNG, particularly the German prisoners. I know that towards the end of the war some as young as 15 were drafted.
--Since D Day was a surprise, I wondered what happened to the civilians in those ruined buildings in Normandy. How long did it take them to get to safety? About 20,000 civilians died, Google tells me. About 3000 civilians during the Battle of the Bulge.

I'm not so sure...when I think of watching TV in the fifties, I remember a vast amount of very graphic concentration camp footage. Gabby Hayes and Disney are both close seconds, but it's those piles of bodies I remember most clearly.
me too. But the ones in the color film are much more shattering. I think it is true that color adds an immediacy that black and white doesn't. You can see it particularly on either "colorized" or "taken in color but printed in black and white" of pictures from a long time ago. Just scenes of the 1800s look like people, suddenly, not grainy dolls.
The Guardian just did a Washington Post. This was a killing. A journalistic bloodletting. Readers deserve so much better than this. Can we rebuild a truly independent media from the ground up?
from today’s extremely posterific post —
Irish activist Mary Evers is immortalizing the names of Palestinians killed in Gaza—one stitch at a time
Using black for men, red for women, and green for children, she embroiders each victim’s name and age onto fabric, turning numbers into lives remembered.
