Having literally written the book on the National Prayer Breakfast -- borne of the idea that God cares more for the rich and powerful than everyone else -- I can say this is the rare instance where Trump's grotesqueness is deeply appropriate.
Star Tribune: βRepublican Chris Madel made a stunning exit from the Minnesota governorβs race on Jan. 26, saying he cannot support the national GOPβs βstated retribution on the citizens of our state, nor can I count myself a member of a party that would do so.ββ
A photo of the man murdered by ICE today, just before the shooting. Heβs standing and holding a phone in his right hand and holding his empty left hand to the sky and looking behind him at a woman running away while an ICE agent closes in on him from the front. On the ground behind the man is a woman that the victim will soon try to help, leading several ICE agents to attack him and pin him to the ground, before shooting him several times.
Weβre supposed to believe this is a domestic terrorist attacking ICE with a gun
This is surreal. 4 Oglala Lakota men kidnapped by ICE in Minneapolis have finally been located. One of them was released but the other 3 are being held at Fort Snelling, a former concentration camp used to imprison Native people incl. the Dakota 38 during Dakota Wars.

Iβm writing about my job as independent rogue caregiver for people with dementia
Iβm sorry but I need them to at least show up naked on horseback with scythes
Iβm in the aisle and the young Eastern European guy next to me in the middle is SIX FOOT EIGHT. I said, βIβm sorry I didnβt offer to trade with youβ and he goes βitβs okay. Itβs all uncomfortable. Weβre all uncomfortable in our own way hereβ
An upgraded-to-business husband comes back to visit his wife in coach and she introduces him to her seatmate: βThis is Joseph. Thinks heβs cool nowβ and the seatmate goes βhey boss you got a good one right hereβ
A baby screams so piercingly and people laugh saying βIβve been there!β or βthank god thatβs not me!β
And a young mom describes to an older man what was so great about the documentary Summer of Soul
Still no bare feet on the seat in front of you or tray table diaper changes please but I like this vibe where a guy helps his seatmate with a spreadsheet and a native SFer pulls up the Original Joeβs menu for the Detroit businessman to check out
Ha! I remember how incredulous he was!
I used to love to tweet about gross things happening on the airplane but I need to report that this Detroit to SF flight is full of nice people being unusually kind to one another. I fly a fair amount and something feels different. Keep it up, people!
Thanks, Heidi! Itβs 20 years old this year. So cool to see thisβ¦

When the swimming hole looks like dessert
Do you think she will ever allow you to see the collages?
What did your mom order?
How often do you talk to each of them? How often do they talk to one another?
Pulled off the bark of my firewood and uncovered this beauty. A true metaphor. Think how gorgeous we would all be if we skinned ourselves and walked around displaying our raw bloody tissue for the world to see whatβs really inside!
Dear goddess this is really a new level
My friendβs multi-generational family in Altadena lost everything in the Eaton fire. They are one of the many Black families whose fundraisers are not getting the momentum more resourced people are getting in a matter of days! Letβs help!!

The Ashokan Reservoir right now. The ice floes are making a cool rumble underneath the surface. 13 degrees!
Hello! Not seeing enough Bishop Mariann Edgar Buddle in my timeline

Prudence, who has Alzheimerβs dementia, describes it like this: βItβs like you have a hole in the sole of your shoe and youβre trying to walk so that you donβt step on anything that hurts, but youβre still trying to fool the world into thinking you donβt have a hole in the sole of your shoe.β
