Sometimes, when he fails badly enough, Trump can be forced to do the thing he says he never does: back down.

Today is just one more turn on the roller coaster - but it is more evidence of why we can't give up or let up.

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

It’s about damn time. AOC is a hero. She’s one of the best out there, fighting daily against Trump’s fascist bullshit.

sometimes i wonder how many versions of myself i’ve outgrown without even noticing. i look back at old photos and remember the thoughts i used to carry, the dreams i thought would save me. it’s strange how you can live inside yourself every day and still not realize you’re evolving. it’s only when you look back that you realize how far you’ve come, how many lives you’ve already lived in the same skin.

You hit publish, and there’s no reaction.

No likes. No shares. Just silence.

But writing isn't about receiving praise.

It’s about leaving parts of yourself for others to discover.

It may take days.

It may take years.

But keep writing, regardless…

i miss slow things. slow mornings. slow friendships. slow art. slow romance. everything feels like it needs a deadline when the best parts of being alive takes more time to bloom than we care to admit.

Biden has no good options, but I see two that would at least put Abbott on notice that this shit has to stop. 1) He could federalize the Texas National Guard. Put the newly federalized troops to work dismantling the barriers and helping the asylum seekers. Any member of said Guard that refuses to obey orders after federalization is subject to court martial. 2) Use the Border Patrol to block any access to the Park by anyone. No one in, no one out. No supplies in, no Texas troopers out. In other …

And this will result in Blue Federals fighting Yellow Confederates (all National Guard troops) in multiple states. Civil War. Regular Army troops and advanced weapons will be needed to end the secession. The sooner the tanks roll through Texas and destroy trucker convoys the better.

Peter's avatar

Those "Christian" trucker convoys should be met with signs reminding them that Jesus called upon his followers to welcome the stranger. And reminding them that there is a special place in hell being reserved for them unless they cut the bullshit.

Nice thought. It won't penetrate their little pee-brains. Oh, I misspelled that!
