There's no "regular politics" anymore because you can no longer maintain the idea that we all agree on common goals but we only differ about the means of getting there or whatever. The guys in charge now are plainly amoral, sadistic nihilists. They delight in it! You can't civilly disagree with that

Black is a Presbyterian pastor who has done anti-poverty work in Chicago since 2020. He grew up in an evangelical household and went to seminary for years, he didn't pay a site online 25 dollars.

My understanding from my nun friends is he's spent most of his time working on running a free pantry.

When was the last time someone told you they were genuinely happy to have you in their life?

He died in the fight. thrid frame, we see Goebbels speaking in front of a large crowd. text reads : Goebbels, the nazi chief propagandist, had been looking for someone to turn into a christian martyr for the party and drum up enrollment. he turned wessel's funeral into a major propaganda event full of speeches antagonizing leftists. fourth frame, we see the State Farm Stadium with a large banner advertizing Charlie Kirk's funeral. text reads : thinking about him today for no particular reason.

A top 50 US university yesterday fired an instructor, a department chair, and a dean because a course made some reference to transgender people without the brief official course description in the catalog saying β€œtrigger warning: gender.”

In conclusion, those intolerant lefty kids, cancel culture.

Kansas City (and Jackson County) had its single democratic rep stolen by the republican party state dictatorship yesterday and it hardly made the news. To turn our district red, republicans redistricted KC residents to share a representative with people who live 3 hours away.

The president is sending the military to control American cities and if you're a reporter who's framing that illegal power grab as "pushing the boundaries of constitutionality" or "acting boldly to fight crime" or whatever, please go find another line of work where you won't get us all killed.

I know, I know, but: The president of the US saying, literally, "we're going in" in reference to sending the military to an American city for no reason beyond terrorizing the local population should be the most immediately impeachable shit imaginable

The media is completely ignoring that Brown University just agreed to a full bathroom ban and defining trans people out of existence. Even worse, when they mention it, they're describing it as a sports ban. This is not just a sports ban.

The media is hiding what's happening here.

Trump quietly shutters the only federal agency that investigates industrial chemical explosions The Chemical Safety Board, a federal agency that investigates large-scale industrial chemical disasters, will close under Trump's orders.

Trump quietly shutters the only federal agency that investigates industrial chemical explosions.

Hazardous chemical accidents happen in the U.S. about every other day. Who will investigate them now?
