A clickbait ad reading “5-second trick eliminates mice in your home” with a sliced onion and a dead mouse on a wooden table.

Opposition to slavery was also voiced in Christian terms. The Quakers are a prominent example, as is John Brown. I'm not saying Religion hasn't been used to justify injustice because it has. But it's also motivated opposition to it.

Slavery isn't specifically religious, and religion isn't all Christianity and Judaism. But since you referenced the bible, it's not a book. It's an anthology of ancient literature compiled well after it was written. It reflects the ancient societies in which it's assorted works were written.

On the other side, we have Mahatma Ghandi, Rev. MLK, Fr.Romero, Malcolm X, Archbishop Desmond Tutu, etc The issue isn't religion or it's absence. The fuckery continues with and without religion, the fight against it has been lead by religious and secular leaders. That's the history.

Look at the 20th century, the atrocities committed by secular governments & the role global business interests played in their perpetration. It's historically not the case that the rise of secular nation states ended oppression & exploitation.

This idea of yours, that religion rejects reason, is historically inaccurate. It's not factually the case the religion rejects reason. That's not how history played out.

Two weeks have passed since a Florida Highway Patrol officer arrested the Honduran immigrant client of Magdalena Cuprys of Cuprys & Associates. “He was stopped at a weigh station in Tampa because he owns a construction company, and he was required to stop for his truck to be weighed,” Cuprys told me. “The client had a valid Florida driver’s license. The patrol officer called Customs and Border Protection on him. The client called me, and the officer took the phone from him and spoke with me.” She asked why CBP was alerted. “I was advised that the client looked Hispanic, had a Hispanic name, and now they are collaborating with Immigration and Customs Enforcement and CBP, and their orders are to call CBP any time they encounter anyone they suspect is an immigrant,” said Cuprys. “I asked if they would have followed the same process if it had been me driving, and the response was it depends if you look Hispanic.”

“It depends if you look Hispanic.”

To Better Prepare for Extreme Weather, We Fired Everyone at NOAA and Replaced Them with a Guy Named Noah “Homeland Security Secretary Kristi Noem slammed the ‘ancient system’ used to warn the public of potential weather threats — and vowed the Trump ad...

"The problem with the old NOAA was the logistical challenge of coordinating between hundreds of employees across dozens of field offices. The new Noah doesn’t have that problem, because he’s just one dude sitting alone on his living room couch in his underwear."

Eliminate it all together and expand Medicare to provide universal coverage, including meds and dental.

The government has declared that Head Start is not basic education as required under Plyler v. Doe and is therefore a "welfare program" barred by the 1996 Clinton welfare reform bill, despite the government having since 1998 taken a completely different position on what the law means.

In response to the imposition of sanctions by the United States Department of State on the UN Special Rapporteur on Human Rights in the Occupied Palestinian Territory, Francesca Albanese, we issued the following statement.
