In his SOTU speech in 2010, @barackobama warned that with it's Citizens United decision, the SCOTUS had "opened the floodgates for special interests — including foreign corporations — to spend without limit in our elections."
Today, his grim prophecy has become the reality.
Ronald Reagan: “You can go to live in France, but you cannot become a Frenchman…But Anyone, from any corner of the Earth, can come to live in America and become an American…This, I believe, is one of the most important sources of America's greatness.”🇺🇸
The reason I don’t want a “Christian nation” isn’t because I’m against Christianity.
It’s because I’ve studied church history and learned about the horrors caused by the church fusing itself with the empire.
Separation of church and state helps keep Christianity Christian.
The irony of Republicans controlling all branches of government while

Here they are: our two top Iran negotiators.
No diplomatic experience. In way over their head. Both with massive financial conflicts of interest, their fortunes tied to the Middle East dictators that make them rich.
What a distaster.
"Wanted to give a shout-out to this girl — I don’t know her name, but I won’t forget what I saw.
We were on the rooftop at Old Crow Smokehouse in Wrigleyville when I noticed a blind Cubs fan trying to hail a cab. For several minutes, no one stopped.
Then this young woman walked up, asked if he needed help, and stood beside him until a cab finally pulled over.
No cameras. No attention. Just pure kindness.
In a world where headlines often focus on hate, it’s moments like this that remind us — compassion is still everywhere.
Let’s make this kind of story go viral."
