Stop Lowering the Flag
The symbol of public mourning loses its meaning when itโs used too much.
Lowering the flag was once a relatively rare symbol of public mourning and respect. It has now โbecome a largely empty gesture, illegible to the broader public and ultimately ignored,โ Justin Murphy argues:

Real patriots think for themselves. Next time you hear a claim, ask:
Why do I believe this?
Whatโs the real evidence?
Who benefits if I believe it?
Freedom starts with critical thinking. ๐ง

โThat they should be the ones to welcome Pope Francisโs coffin in the basilica is because these people are those who represented the focus of his mission,โ said Father Giulio Albanese, head of missionary cooperation and communications for the Vicariate of Rome. โThey are those who live on the peripheries, geographical and existential peripheries.โ
The final honor guard for Pope Francis included migrants, prisoners, transgender people, the homeless and others selected by the Vicariate of Rome as a symbol of the late popeโs mission of inclusion and outreach.

Rubio on X: Last night, another 10 criminals from the MS-13 and Tren de Aragua Foreign Terrorist Organizations arrived in El Salvador.ย
The alliance between @POTUS and President @nayibbukele has become an example for security and prosperityย in our hemisphere.
Marco Rubio just announced 10 more people were sent to be imprisoned in CECOT. They were flown there from Gitmo to be imprisoned potentially for life based not on any crime for which they were convicted, but on unproven allegations of gang membership with no due process.
This is not lawful.

Two stills from the television show The Golden Girls. The first shows Sophia's sister yelling at her with text that reads "May your marinara sauce never cling to your pasta" The second panel shows Sophia and Blanche reacting in shock.

Pretty done with stories about dudes snogging chicks who were drugged unconsciousโletโs return to simpler tales where if a guy saw a chick bathing naked, she turned him into a stag and set his own hounds on him to rip him limb from limb.

FYI criticizing Israel is not antisemitic, but supporting Israel only because youโre waiting for the Rapture to happen so all the Jews burn in Hell is.

No thanks, Trump inauguration. If I want to watch an unqualified man accept a job a woman should've gotten, I'll apply for a promotion at work.
