Donald and JD , together with their spouses, this morning attended the , another custom.

During the service, the Episcopal bishop of Washington, Mariann Edgar Budde, appealed directly to the president to rethink some of his hardline policies, particularly towards and people.

Here’s what she said:

“Let me make one final plea, Mr president. Millions have put their trust in you, and as you told the nation yesterday, you have felt the providential hand of a loving God.

In the name of our God, I ask you to have upon the people in our country who are scared now. There are , and children in Democratic, Republican and independent families, some who fear for their lives.

And the people, the people, who pick our crops and clean our office buildings, who labor in poultry farms and meatpacking plants, who wash the dishes after we eat in restaurants and work the night shifts in hospitals, they may not be citizens or have the proper documentation, but the vast majority of are not criminals.

They pay taxes and are good neighbors.
“I ask you to have mercy, Mr President, on those in our communities whose children fear that their parents will be taken away, and that you help those who are fleeing war zones and in their own lands to find compassion and welcome here,” Budde said.

Neither Trump nor Vance showed much obvious reaction to her words.


@Alpha1Nine This is what makes the Episcopal faith so special. That radical love and compassion is what is needed in this world right now

I don't believe for a moment that this pathetic person didn't know that that particular gesture could be misunderstood as anything other than fascism. His behavior & actions since he took over Twitter says just about everything you need to know.

’s President José Raúl Mulino said the “is & will continue” to belong to Panama.

His remarks respond to what said about the canal during his speech.

The Panama Canal “has foolishly been given to the country of Panama after the United States — the United States, I mean, think of this, spent more money than ever spent on a project before & lost 38,000 lives in the building of the Panama Canal,” Trump said. “We gave it to Panama, & we’re taking it back.”


President Mulino responded in a Spanish-language statement saying, “I must reject in its entirety the words expressed by President Donald regarding & its Canal.”

“The Canal is & will continue to be Panama’s & its administration will continue to be under Panamanian control with respect to its permanent neutrality,” the statement reads.

🧵 If you listened/watched, you know that Trump's second inaugural address was mostly a tired reprisal of the first.

America has been un-manned and betrayed. We’ve lost our sovereignty and safety, and the corrupt establishment has run roughshod over ordinary citizens. All this will change. Trump alone can fix it. This is the dawn of a new golden age. Liberation Day.

So there is no Trump v.2.0. We're getting v.1.1. Same glitchy thing as 2017, with maybe a few bugs squashed.


That doesn't mean he's not dangerous.

Lots of stuff about our nation's glorious destiny. Frontier spirit. Territorial expansion, including to Mars (via Panama). All of this is needed to restore and revitalize "the world's greatest civilization."

Trump is ready to take us back to the 19th C. Age of Empire. He sees the world in terms of a civilizational hierarchy. He understands history as a Darwinian struggle. Power is all that matters, not law, not justice, not rights.

repeated his claim, made countless times during the 2024 campaign, “many from prisons & mental institutions” had illegally entered the country through the southern border. He has offered no evidence for this.

(I still think he doesn’t understand the meaning of “asylum seekers” he thinks they are people from insane asylums)


With his opening lines that “we will not allow ourselves to be taken advantage of any longer,” plunges into a list of , describing America as a nation willing to spend “in the defense of foreign borders” — read: — “but refuses to defend American borders.”

This is a redux of his 2017 “American Carnage” address: He describes America as a catastrophic mess of crime & chaos.

He speaks of “annihilation” & disparages the current government — w/ sitting nearby.

This is disgraceful. An inauguration speech attacking the outgoing president & administration. It’s really hard to watch.

The Battle Hymn of the Republic

For the record:

aka "Glory Hallelujah" the song links the Union with God's vengeance at the Day of Judgment (through allusions to biblical passages such as Isaiah 63:1–6, Revelation 19 and Revelation 14:14–19). [via wiki en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Battle_H]

My latest post is answering someone who is worried about what is happening and asks me what action they should take.

Here's my reply:

"But here it is. If you want to help people whose very existence is criminalized, you're likely to have to break laws. Laws that have consequences. It's either that, or yelling so loudly that you become a target. Possibly both."

🥥 There are now 3 tiers of justice in the US:
One for ordinary people, one for the wealthy, and one established recently by the Supreme Court exclusively for Trump.
That's why this absolute shit-show of a human being is being allowed to take office on January 20, 2025.

🥥 Always remember that Trump is most of all a con man.
He takes credit for things he didn't do, refuses blame for his fuck-ups, lies uncontrollably, is unreliable, dishonest, untrustworthy, and disconnected from reality.
Avoid the inauguration of the US's worst President. 🥥

When you're a 78-year-old toddler with unaddressed daddy issues, no self-reflection, a bottomless pit of needs, poor impulse control, zero capacity for gratitude, and a holder of grudges, of course you're going to see yourself as a victim and your face is going to look like this. 🥥
