Hey America, if you were a Christian nation, you’d be feeding the poor, not yelling at them for using food stamps.

Spent the week in Yosemite. I’m thankful for nature and National Parks.

Today is NPR's first day ever without the support of public funding. Thanks to everyone who has donated to your local stations. It means the world.

The right to speak our minds and to disagree with each other - to disturb, even - is at the very heart of what it means to be a free people. It is not to be denied. Not by violence, not by the abuse of governmental power, nor by acts of corporate cowardice. As a Guild, we stand united in opposition to anyone who uses their power and influence to silence the voices of writers, or anyone who speaks in dissent. If free speech applied only to ideas we like, we needn't have bothered to write it into the Constitution. What we have signed on to - painful as it may be at times - is the freeing agreement to disagree. Shame on those in government who forget this founding truth. As for our employers, our words have made you rich. Silencing us impoverishes the whole world. The WA stands with Jimmy Kimmel and his writers.

Trump calls Friday’s protests a riot and calls in national guard. Now LA gets to show what a real riot looks like. Be safe LAPD, LASD, CHP and Nat Guard. Protesters need to avoid violence and keep focused on targeting administrations illegal policies

I checked this out online- it was true. It’s bananas. When Senator Banks asked if he regrets it, during an interview with CNN, he said he didn’t.
