Happy Easter to all who are celebrating today.
This season of renewal invites us all to believe in the triumph of light over darkness, life over death, love over hate.

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
WOW: Massive crowds in New York City right now for the 50501 National Day of Action against the Trump regime.

The head of our country’s government is in the early stages of consolidating total power. We must of course reject this, but that is not enough. We have to respond by creating a different and better kind of American politics than we have seen before.

Don't leave anything for later.
Later, the coffee gets cold.
Later, you lose interest.
Later, the day turns into night.
Later, people grow up.
Later, people grow old.
Later, life goes by.
Later, you regret not doing something... when you had the chance.

Walking Where Jesus Walked
A few years ago I was in Israel with my family. We were being led on a private tour by a local pastor along the path that Jesus would have walked after his betrayal and arrest. It was a beautiful and sacred moment. I was listening intently to the pastor as he explained that it was a near certainty that Jesus would have walked the ancient stairs upon which we stood, when I was distracted by my son. He was behind me running back and forth on every step and making more no…

This is getting fewer headlines than it should. After coming to power promising to help working people, the president is revealing his real priorities by actively making it easier for banks to rip people off.

BREAKING: Remember this video of a Democratic woman being was dragged out of a Republican Townhall in Idaho? Remember how MAGA claimed that the security officers acted appropriately?

Canadians, many Americans want to visit us this summer and show their support. Let’s give them our kindness, hospitality and grace. The ones visiting are not Trump voters. Quite the contrary. They care about our well being and they are fighting this fascist disease alongside us. We need each other.
Go Canada! Now you are the leader of the free world.

Kentucky often gets a bad rap. We’re a red, Trump state; we sent Mitch McConnell, Rand Paul and Thomas Massie to congress; we have a cruel and petty GOP supermajority in our statehouse. But we also have a twice-elected Democratic governor. And yesterday, we put a Black woman on our Supreme Court where 4 of the 7 justices are women, and our chief justice is a woman. We contain multitudes.

There’s a term in psychology called habituation: the way we stop noticing things we see often. A painting on the wall. A familiar view. Even a person’s kindness.
The brain filters the predictable to save energy. But in doing so, it risks filtering out what makes life feel full.
Not everything that becomes familiar should be forgotten.
Sometimes, attention is an act of love.

Dear Dreamer,
Resurrection wasn’t just for Jesus, it’s for you too.
There are dreams that felt dead. Pieces of you that felt buried.
But I came to remind you this morning, you’re not done. Heaven already made a way for you to rise again.
I’m old enough to remember when the neocons were all in on executive power. Spend trillions of dollars to invade another country because we don’t like the guy in charge? CHECK!
Spend a fraction of that amount to release millions of Americans from indentured servitude to a predatory student loan system? TYRANNY!
This is my now almost weekly reminder that the one tide that is historically proven to lift all boats is education (not trickle-down economics, despite the GOP’s long-suffering devotion …
Only we're not spending money to increase education, we're spending money to bail kids who are already high-income out of their education bills. A lot of those kids attended college in the first place because they came from households of economic privilege to begin with. What's next? Bail out all the doctors and attorneys because they have grad school debt?
You assume it's "high income"...isn't there an income limit on who can take advantage? And, let's be clear, it's optional..not mandatory
Yea, that limit is *$125k/year for individuals and $250k/year for households*. That upper limit is very much "high-income," do you disagree?
And how many households with college debt regardless of income threshold *aren't* going to take advantage of this rich kid bailout ya figure? What's your ballpark guesstimate on that one?
There are millions of folks who do not make $125,000 as an individual or $250,000 per year that will benefit correct? Would you support this effort if it was say $60,000 individual and $120,000 for a family? In your opinion, is there a category of income that would be more acceptable?? Again the " rich kid bailout" you state seems Iike a pre conceived notion you will cling too.
Please take a look at the chart here, specifically where it says "Household Income Per Earner" and the corresponding quintile values per average household in that quintile. Then when you're done looking at those numbers you can tell me this isn't a rich kid bailout with caps set at $125k/individual and $250k/household if you still feel that way.

I get your point. You don't object to the debt relief, it appears it's the income limits are too high...fair enough
