One of my running theories (it’s not unique obviously) is that Trump is just a pawn for those around him. And extremely evil people have been using me.
Trump: He wants to see no crime. He wants to see housing being built. He wants to see rents coming down. All the things that I agree with. We may disagree how we get there, the rent coming down, I think one of the things I really gleaned very much today, he'd like it see them

What if we give him a gold bar with his name on it? Will that help?

The New Yorker story is chilling: shutting down USAID has already killed 600,000 people, most of them children. For no reason other than Elon Musk’s ego, Marco Rubio’s complicity, & Republican Members of Congress’ cult-like loyalty to Trump. Devastating. https://t.co/09PYFSEuHV

Trump is still using hunger as a political weapon while also refusing to address skyrocketing health care costs — and seems to be enjoying it. It’s the definition of sadism. A truly twisted man.

This T stop is next to an outdoor bar and stage where Berklee kids invent fusion soul/EDM/Folk on a weekly basis. I walk by this to go to either 1) a pickleball court 2) a flour bakery or 3) on my way to free Shakespeare in the park.

Emerson is full of theater kids and film nerds and they’re like 50 feet from boylston T stop. Nothing here is unsafe unless Mike is licking the pigeon shit or something
Can you imagine descending into a dark, damp, dingy Boylston Station from an unsafe Boston Common to find Michelle Wu sitting in a leather armchair posing for a photo shoot touting her own “accomplishments”?

In recent years, many young people have approached the faith through social media, successful programs and popular online Christian witnesses. The danger is that a faith discovered online is limited to individual experiences, which may be intellectually and emotionally

The president wants to resume nuclear testing. This is a really bad idea - and he can't even get his facts right about why he wants to do it: https://t.co/sG7hEWock4

Trump is misinformed and out of touch. The U.S. has no technical, military, or political reason to resume nuclear explosive testing for the first time since 1992. It would take least 36 months to resume contained nuclear tests underground at the former test site in Nevada. 1/
