It’s now been over 24 hours since Trump was sworn in.

Instead of honoring his campaign promises to focus on bringing down costs, he’s doubling down on revenge, division, and cruelty. He’s cozying up to billionaires. And he’s showing us what we can expect for the next 4 years.

#BREAKING: We’re suing President Trump over his unconstitutional, un-American executive order ending birthright citizenship.

The President has overstepped his authority by a mile with this order, and we will hold him accountable.

Chicago Police have said they won't assist in Donald Trump's ICE mass deportation raids.

Know your rights and make a plan.

Pass it on to folks you know in Illinois.

BREAKING NEWS:

Bishop Mariann Budde who challenged Trump says she felt a responsibility to address him.

She’s a hero.

You have to love MAGA losing their minds over it while they have no problems with Evangelical pastors preaching politics.

I’ve been reflecting on this over the past day or so, and I’ve come to a realization.

Many of my friends on the center-right who are upset with me for making what I believe to be very obvious observations aren’t necessarily angry at me—they’re angry at the implications of what I’m saying.

The idea that neo-Nazism has entered the mainstream, potentially influencing the White House, is so alarming and existentially terrifying that it's easier to lash out at the messenger than confront the reality.

If they accept this, it means that the political home they've invested so much of their identity in, the movement they've championed for years, has become something so morally repugnant that accepting it feels like breaking their own brain.

The cognitive dissonance is overwhelming.

What's striking to me is the selective outrage. Many of these same people are quick to call everyone communists, often with little more than circumstantial evidence.

Yet, when it comes to countless instances of glaringly obvious signs of fascism in their own movement, they either look away or attack those pointing it out.

America, your dishonor will remain.

Fluoride is a salt form of fluorine (13th most abundant element on Earth, naturally found in water). It reinforces bones by increasing bone cell proliferation. It is completely harmless at concentrations in fluoridated water (≈ 0.7 mg/L)

In a world of Donald Trumps, be a Bishop Mariann Edgar Budde.

[PBS News @NewsHour]

The Right Rev. Mariann Budde, the Episcopal bishop of Washington, D.C., implored newly inaugurated President Donald Trump on Tuesday "to have mercy upon" communities across the country "who are scared now" after his election.

"There are gay, lesbian and transgender children in Democratic, Republican and independent families — some who fear for their lives," Budde said during remarks at an interfaith prayer service at Washington National Cathedral with the president, Vice President JD Vance and their spouses in attendance.

She noted the work of many immigrants to the U.S. who pick crops, clean office buildings, work in the poultry and meatpacking industries and wash dishes in the hospitality field.

"They may not be citizens or have the proper documentation, but the vast majority of immigrants are not criminals," Budde said. "They pay taxes and are good neighbors. They are faithful members of our churches, mosques, gurdwara and temples."

Budde's comments come after Trump signed executive orders late Monday to declare a national emergency at the U.S.-Mexico border and pushed for the end the use of an app that allowed migrants seeking asylum to request appointments with American border officials.

"Our God teaches us that we are to be merciful to the stranger, for we were all once strangers in this land," Budde said before closing her remarks.

Wow. A bishop just called out Trump and Vance to their faces at church.

“The vast majority of immigrants are not criminals. May I ask you to have mercy, Mr. President, on those whose children fear their parents will be taken away.”

Bishop Mariann Edgar Budde: "The vast majority of immigrants are not criminals. They pay taxes and are good neighbors...may I ask you to have mercy Mr. President on those in our communities whose children fear that their parents will be taken away."

Trump: I am the friend of police.

Reporter: 400 people of the people you pardoned assaulted police officers

[Daily Dose @ddofinternet]

I know this is a minority opinion, but I think showing empathy is the single coolest thing a person can do.

Put yourself in the shoes of others to try to understand from their point of view before judging and condemning.

[Pastor Ben @BenjaminPDixon]

This sister is a better Christian than literally every MAGA Christian in this country.

[Aaron Rupar @atrupar]

REPORTER: You would agree it's never acceptable to assault police officers?

TRUMP: Sure

REPORTER: Among those you pardoned is a guy who used a stun gun on a police officer. Why does he deserve a pardon?

TRUMP: Well, I don't know

Under Trump's executive order, every single person in America is now legally classified as female.

All embryos begin by developing female sex organs, with male sex organs only replacing them at around 6 weeks of gestation.

[Saltydkdan @saltydkdan]

Did the President of all time just legally force femme us because he didn’t read a book
