Why are they sucking up to him so hard? Their noses are so far up his ass

A reminder for those who are not aware: "remigration" is the process of deporting all non-white people from a country. It includes citizens and is, by definition, ethnic cleansing.

And to be clear: this is not fake. I just screenshot it myself.

Every single congressional Democrat needs to be out there, right now, insisting that Pete Hegseth resign right now and announcing that he will be held accountable for committing war crimes.

If you do not demand accountability here and now, they will only become more emboldened.

I thought Toys R Us went out of business. How do they have a float?

Who ever heard of a dump closed on Thanksgiving before?

SecDef is a weak little man who is threatened by Scouts.

Oh no! Fuck cancer is right!

50 years ago, the Edmund Fitzgerald, a 'rock star' ship, sank in Lake Superior Twenty-nine sailors drowned when the Edmund Fitzgerald went down in the Great Lakes' icy waters on Nov. 10, 1975. The ship was immortalized in a surprise hit 1976 folk ballad by Gordon Lightfoot.

Thank you!

Please HOLD THE LINE and don’t give in to the GOP on a “promise”

We know they won’t stick to the promise.

Keep on fighting. The American people are with you 100%

Heartbreaking loss for KC

I’ll be fucking pissed if the Dems cave. They’ve got the GOP against the rope here, with POTUS refusing SNAP benefits despite court orders and then ordering states to not step in to fund it in the meantime. The Dems have all the momentum, they need to USE IT and FIGHT

And thanks to YouTubeTV, I can’t watch it.

One thing that I took away from my time doing CPE (hospital chaplain rotation part of my training) is that these euphemisms confuse people. I now only use “died” or “dead” (in a pastoral way, ofc)

This doesn’t sound like a cease-fire…

A photo of my white left hand with a white cold ring on my 4th (ring) finger

We’ve reached that milestone day where it’s cold enough that my fingers are finally skinny enough to get my real wedding band on!

(From April-Oct my fingers are too big, and I end up wearing a silicone band)

Our own government, funded by us, is committing abuse and violence in our name.

The vast majority of Americans don’t want this.

I am donating to help but it also pisses me off - I already paid for this service once, with taxes.

“Just go to a food bank, a church or a charity”

For every meal the food bank provides, the SNAP program provides 9.

Even if donations are rapidly scaled up, they won’t be able to meet the needs of 42 million Americans who are about to go hungry.

It’s not sustainable.

Let me guess. This guy calls himself “Christian”

Most folks with SNAP benefits either work, are Senior Citizens and retired, or KIDS WHO ARE TOO YOUNG TO WORK!

Immigrants don’t get SNAP benefits (even though they pay taxes)

EVERYONE DESERVES TO EAT

And the feed keeps cutting out.

I’m grateful for this @uconnwbbhighlights.bsky.social game on TV, but the production is awful. They’re playing background music that drowns out the sounds of the game. Awful

FYI: it’s, uh, *not nothing* that the head of an entire Christian denomination — here Rev. Karen Georgia A. Thompson of the United Church of Christ — issued a statement decrying DHS agents for shooting one of her pastors in the face with a pepper round, adding, “No one is safe from tyranny."

I had one of these in high school/college…

Hope is not a sentimental optimism that things will somehow work out; hope is the subversive conviction that injustice and death will not have the final word and acting on that belief. Hope is not passive waiting it’s active persistence. Hope prays, peacefully protests, weeps, and keeps showing up.

Notice how it’s always, “the Bible must inform our laws!” until it comes to the +2,000 verses in the Bible that discuss the generous use of wealth and possessions in a way that prioritizes the needs of the poor, this sick, the stranger, the vulnerable, and the oppressed.

Jeremiah 8.22-9.5 Is there no balm in Gilead? Is there no physician there? Why then have my people not been restored to health? If only my head were a spring of water,and my eyes a fountain of tears,I would weep day and nightfor the wounds of my people. If only I could flee for shelter in the desert,to leave my peopleand forget them—for they are all adulterers,a bunch of crooks. They bend their tongues like bowsto spew out lies;they are renowned in the land,but not for truth.They go from bad to worse.They don’t know me!declares the Lord. Be wary of your friends!Don’t trust your sibling!Every sibling is a cheater,and every friend traffics in slander. One cheats the other;no one tells the truth;they train themselves to lie;they wear themselves out by doing wrong.

The book of Jeremiah could have been written for 2025 USA.

So, they weren’t criminal drug dealers after all, and the US Government just murdered their boat mates for no reason then?
