Turning 42 tomorrow & for my Jackie Robinson year I'm cutting back quite a bit on social media (but not cutting back on caring about the world!). Good luck y'all! Jesus loves you.

It's embarrassing because he's promoting and possibly working for ICE.

(Otherwise it's just a dude doing a few things outside, which is fine, I suppose. He was only Superman on TV.)

Which is, of course, to say that they (we, in a not insignificant way, since I'm a white Evangelical Christian) made up an entirely new doctrine and called it by an old name. Familiar story, scripturally speaking.

*Dobson bubble

I was *just* outside the Dobson Bible as a kid, much more Sesame Street than FoF, so I'd never really thought of it this way, but this makes SOOO much sense.

Whelp, he got a jacket with a breast pocket at least. Anyhoo, 🎶 this world is not my home, so I guess I'll have to pass on the ICE recruitment

Russia's been forwarding such great secrets from the US that China feels like they owe them?

OT reading for 8/24 (Isa 58). DHS won't be quoting it.

If you remove the yoke from among you,
the pointing of the finger, the speaking of evil,
if you offer your food to the hungry
and satisfy the needs of the afflicted,
then your light shall rise in the darkness
& your gloom be like the noonday.

Hardly fair! That would still be true of you if you were 20 and an Olympic athlete. Not gonna let the moral decrepitude show like that!

Hey mainstream media colleagues: you cannot be deported to a country you are not from. That’s kidnapping and trafficking. Call it that. You are lying if you say otherwise.

Bad news

Plus you know that Russia's "best friend" to the southeast isn't doing Putin all those favors in exchange for NOT getting forwarded all the secrets that Gabbard and Trump tell him.

The longer 2025 goes on, the more apt Kendrick Lamar's halftime show appears to have been.

Good news!

Probably about right tbh. Fun fact: Lynn, England is the same distance from Boston, England as Lynn MA & Boston MA

Is Lynn Boston?

Sometime back in DC there was a food truck that sold burgers for decent prices. Or you could get a "doucheburger" with gold flakes for $300. I think about that a lot these days, along with Exodus 32:20, when Moses made the ppl drink the gold that the calf was made from.

During the workday.

That 17% suggests an oversampling on Capitol Hill

begging and pleading for people to start internalizing that “show me your papers” is not just about immigration

North Carolina and 8th has some tricky angles.

Best to send the NATIONAL GUARD (!!!) back home and let normal people in normal vehicles living normal lives navigate that intersection.

Lord, bring justice swiftly.

"Abolish ICE" is now the median stance. This is the gulag archipelago. Keep up the pressure, Sen. Ossoff!

Hey, look, I don't want to speak out of turn, but maybe, just maybe, these giant military machines shouldn't be deployed on our city streets?

I probably know some of those "vagrants" personally, and would trust them WAAAY more than I'd trust JD Vance. Punk.
