We live in a time that people are more inclined to obey an unlawful executive order than they are to follow a court order 🤦🏾♀️.
Dictators are created due to cruelty, cowardice, & compliance! IF THEIR ASSES will ignore the Supreme Court, we can definitely IGNORE HIM!

The elevation of Pope Leo XIV is a profound and historic occasion. Like so many around the world, I am praying for him and wishing him and the Church well as his papacy begins.

So let me get this straight, we finally get an American pope, and some of the America first crowd is mad because he cares about the poor and immigrants. Am i missing something here?

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.

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

I cannot express how much I admire and respect this man. I supported him for president back in 2019 and will support him for ANY elected office in the future. He’s the real deal 💙💙

A man who holds the title of President of the United States, who took an oath to protect and defend the Constitution, who then says he doesn’t know if he’d uphold the Constitution, is unfit to be president and should be removed.

Thank you Professor.
The MAGA-controlled GOP, who now talk about a "unified Reich". I think they draw from a toxic pool that precedes McCarthy.

HCR's introduction in her book, "How the South Won the Civil War," makes it clear, IMO, that the oligarchs trick the white Protestant racists into thinking that they are part of them, (i.e., the oligarchs who exploit them financially,) because they are white. They (the whites) reap no benefit for themselves by voting Republican. This ruse was used before the Civil War and is being used now. ("What's the Matter with Kansas" by Thomas Frank.) MAGA is 21st century KKK.
That book nearly broke my heart. My father, very very poor white trash from Florida, still uses the n word and would be appalled if you called him a racist. He's found religion too. He remembers hearing Hitler on the radio, served in the Air Force, built AWACS for Boeing and had a high security clearance.
He voted for Drumpf. Twice.
Jeri, MAGA is already KKK. Remember the marchers at Charlottesville in 2017? "Jews will not replace us." And the push for a white Protestant autocracy - that's KKK. Timothy Egan's book, "A Fever in the Heartland," about the rise of the KKK in the Midwest in the 1920's leaves one with this takeaway: MAGA is 21st century KKK.
Richard Sutherland - I read "A Fever in the Heartland" last week. I have about 15 pages with post-its on them, starting with Chapter 9 on page 104. On page 106, Egan discusses Dr. Harry H. Laughlin. Laughlin apparently believed if you allowed strong healthy animals to be crossed only with other strong healthy animals, then "weaker" humans, such as "imbeciles" and degenerates," i.e. homosexuals should be sterilized so as to not weaken the gene pool.
In the book, Egan comments that Indiana passed …
Thank you, Lucy, for this review and report. I think that the present case is one of prejudice (white ignorant racist Protestantism) vs. enlightenment (democracy and DEI.) Will "the inmates take over the asylum?" I know that this is disrespectful but we're dealing with a lot of stupidity. Case in point: Nikki Haley announcing that she'll vote for Trump. She just proved that she is not a leader and clearly not one with character.
"[T]he inmates taking over the asylum" is what fills me with dread.
Look what happened in Germany when they let a nut case use their antisemitism to propel him to power: World War II and the Holocaust. We simply must acknowledge what history has taught us and act on it.
I completely agree. My key question is how do we do that? So many of our citizens will not acknowledge history, or worse, want to emulate it.
Jeri, you and the others here already know that the threat to our democratic form of government is real, it is palpable. We are literally locked in a war. I just heard on MSNBC that Trump's supporters believe it. It could get much, much worse, particularly given that Trump has support on the U.S. Supreme Court as well as others such as Judge Cannon.. Nikki Haley just announced that she'll vote for Trump. This is insane.
It is way worse than insane. It is deliberate, evil and widespread. I am old and I have never seen such brown nosing in my life. And bowing to evil that is in your face, hate filled, with the venom directed at the citizens who don't bow down. The rich and smart ones supporting chump have plans that are more untenable to the majority in this country.

Some days ago, I wondered if I should even keep writing.
Then 118 of you subscribed to this journal in the last 24 hours.
That says a lot. So here’s my answer:
